My name is Tayla Fawumi, LCPC. I have been working in the mental health field for the last 6 years. I have experience working with all ages from children to geriatric age. I have experience working in school based, community based, career counseling field, residential treatment facilities for teens/adults as well as private practice settings. The reason I became a therapist is because I wanted to support individuals that feel alone, dismissed, misunderstood and working with them to achieve their goals in becoming motivated, happy and confident people. The impact of therapy that can have on anyone’s life is finding healthy coping skills, self-advocacy, healthy boundaries, and overall positive regard for one self.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with rapport building by doing introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions in the future.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a clinician is that I am empathetic as well active listener and I promote collaboration with my clients as it pertains to their therapeutic journey. By doing this I can help clients identify the root cause of your challenges and create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

My treatment methods
Attachment-based
Attachment theory is apart of my therapeutic orientation as it pertains to how someone has attached to their caregiver and how that shows up in one's platonic and romantic relationships in the future. Therefore if clients are struggling with maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships, exploring attachment theory could be beneficial.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is apart of my therapeutic orientation due to my experience is that when one changes their thoughts it also leads to the changes in behavior. Therefore working with clients to focus on improving their thinking patterns can yield positive results as far as managing or eliminate problem behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing is also apart of my therapeutic orientation due to the principles that it is helping clients work through their feelings of ambivalence or insecurities towards change by focusing on internal strengths and motivation. Therefore allowing clients opportunity to acknowledge and determine their own goals and figure what is best for them.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-centered therapy is also apart of my therapeutic orientation due to the experience I have with clients needing space and possibility to self-actualize and make positive changes in their lives and live up to their full potential according to their own expectations instead of needing the validation from others.
