Lori Taylor
I became a registered nurse in 1998 and although I knew early on that I wanted to be a psych NP, it took me some time to get back to school. (I have always believed there is both an art and science to nursing, and much of my education was guided by Sister Callista Roy's Adaptation Model
I am patient, compassionate, empathic, and although there always is trial and error with medications, I pride myself on staying up to date regarding standards of care.
of Nursing.) I feel that my extensive hands on experience caring for adults and elders- with both physical and psychological concerns- has put me in an ideal position to help others live to the best of their ability, regardless of circumstances.
First session
Our first session will most likely be the longest, although I try to never rush. I will share a bit about myself, cover basic housekeeping items, discuss what currently brought you into care, then collect history and tie up as many loose ends as time will allow while formulating a plan of care and path forward.
Strengths
I have always enjoyed people, been a good listener, been able to explain things in ways others can understand. I am patient, compassionate, empathic, and although there always is trial and error with medications, I pride myself on staying up to date regarding standards of care.
Ideal clients
I appreciate helping those who are unsettled, uncomfortable, but unsure why. Is it depression? Anxiety? ADHD? Bipolar disorder? They may be just a bit extra and easily excited, are often the life of the party, but still don't feel quite right, feel something is missing, often are sad, may be a touch angry and irritable, and just want for things to be a bit easier- to be more comfortable in their relationships and in their own skin.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I believe understanding how clearly our thoughts impact our feelings is so important. I appreciate helping others to be kinder to themselves, so that life is a bit easier, regardless of what is going on.
Supportive
Life is complicated and busy, we all wear many hats, and often put ourselves last. I appreciate listening and being a safe place to work through things that might otherwise just simmer under the surface.
Psychoeducation
Symptoms and diagnoses are not the same thing, with mental health concerns there is a great deal of overlap. I believe confirming diagnosis and learning as much as possible is important and necessary for best results.
