Nathan Taylor
Welcome! My name is Nathan Taylor and I’d like to thank you for taking the time to look over my profile and to learn a little about me as a therapist. Choosing a therapist can be challenging (and maybe even more than a little anxiety provoking!) and it is important to take the time to find someone that you feel may be a good fit to work with towards helping you achieve your goals in therapy. With that in mind, I wanted to share a little about myself and my own path as a therapist. Should you feel like we may be a good fit, I genuinely look forward to meeting and hopefully working with you. Each of our own personal experiences, dreams, goals, hopes, and needs, both in life and in therapy are unique and individual. You may know exactly what those are for you, or you may feel like you are lost and overwhelmed. Either way, my role is to help you along your own path. To help define what you are struggling with and to take the steps that are needed to work through those struggles and challenges. Whatever your reason is for seeking therapy, know that it can be an incredibly valuable tool towards finding what it is that you are looking for. Again, thank you for taking the time to learn a bit more about me. You’ve found the courage to get this far, let’s see how much further we can get together!
First session
During our first session, we spend most of the time discussing what your goals and objectives are for our time together. Together we will begin to develop a working plan for how we can meet your goals. Most importantly, the first session is important for you to decide if we are a good fit together and if you think that I can be the therapist that you feel comfortable working with. Ideally, you'll leave the first session with a few new tools or strategies to use, and with an idea of how our work together will look.
Strengths
One of the largest factors of a positive outcome in therapy is the relationship that is developed with your therapist and the feeling that you can trust them. I believe in that wholeheartedly, and encourage everyone to make sure you truly feel that your choice of a therapist is a good fit for you. I bring warmth and understanding to my work as a therapist, and sometimes even a little humor! Over the years, I’ve received several advanced trainings and certifications that I’ve pursued to obtain the skill sets needed to specialize in a few areas that I believe are tremendously effective and helpful to those I work with. As with anything in therapy, there is no one-size fits all approach, and I find it most valuable to help create a treatment approach in complete collaboration with you.
Ideal clients
I truly enjoy working as a therapist and helping people across many backgrounds. I particularly enjoy working with people who are looking to grow and develop in their life, those who need some additional support during a challenging time, or those that are looking to resolve past trauma and their current trauma responses. While I like working with both men and women, I've found that I've been very helpful in working with men who are struggling in their relationships, learning how to be more effective in managing their emotions, or just need help learning to communicate better.
Treatment methods
Supportive
There are numerous approaches and methods available in our work together, many of which I am trained or certified in. There is no "one size fits all" approach and I work with everyone individually to develop the approach or method that is either needed or requested.
EMDR
As an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) trained therapist, I've found this evidenced-based approach to therapy to be particularly effective with people for a wide variety of reasons, particularly in treating the impact of trauma, and as such EMDR is my current primary specialty. As EMDR therapy has gained a significant amount of positive attention lately, this may be something you're familiar with, heard about and would like to know more, or it's all together new to you. I'd be more than happy to share additional information with you about EMDR should you be interested in learning more.
