LICSW, 11 years of experience
My name is Kristen Taylor and I hold an MSW from University of Alabama. I have been a clinical social worker since 2018 embracing social work ideals of empowerment, client autonomy, and strength-based approach through a holistic perspective meeting each client where they are to achieve their identified goals. In my therapy practice, I draw from these experiences to assist my clients in achieving their goals and improving their quality of life.
Our first session begins with learning about each other, your goals, and your strengths to assist you in identifying barriers to living the quality of life you desire. Together we will explore treatment options and develop a plan to overcome barriers to empower you to use your strengths to achieve your goals.
In working with me I hope my clients experience a warm, welcoming, nonjudgmental environment in which to achieve improved daily functioning and become their ideal person recognizing their dignity and self-worth. I utilize an eclectic therapeutic approach to assist clients with achieving their goals to include CBT, DBT, talk therapy, etc.
I enjoy using my experiences in social services from child protective services, mental health, criminal justice and substance use to help my clients identify their strengths and navigate life systems to achieve their goals and live the life they want to live.
