Taylor South
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist based in central Florida. I completed my undergraduate and masters degree at Southeastern University in central Florida, and have been licensed for over 3 years.
The energy I bring to sessions often energizes those in the session to pursue their goals, and improve their daily interactions with others.
I enjoy working with a variety of clients and truly enjoy helping anyone who is willing and dedicated to making lasting, powerful, and relationship based changes in their lives.
First session
In our first session we will complete brief introductions so we know a bit about each other. I will ask you to discuss the basics around what brings you to therapy, as well as, begin to early steps of creating a tailored plan to reach the goals you identify.

I have a passion for a range of clients, but most notably I have a passion for couples that are looking to improve in all areas of their marriage. As well as, individuals who are wanting to improve their emotional awareness, emotional processing, and create healthier interactions with those around them. Lastly, I work with many male clients who feel they are struggling with issues specific to men and want to work thru those struggles.
Treatment methods
Attachment-based
Thru training and experience I have developed a significant ability to apply attachment based treatment to a variety of struggles. Attachment theory is based in the belief that many of our early relationships influence our current well being.
Christian Counseling
Thru my own beliefs and knowledge I am able to work with a variety of believers in their struggles. I am able to use scripture, wisdom, and prayer in my treatment modalities.
