I’m Dr. Amanda Ashley Taylor, a Caribbean-American Licensed Mental Health Counselor and holistic psychotherapist. I guide individuals through anxiety, trauma, burnout, and life transitions, helping you reconnect with yourself and create balance, clarity, and resilience. My approach blends narrative therapy with mindfulness and somatic awareness so you feel truly seen, supported, and understood. I hold space with empathy, cultural awareness, and compassion—honoring your unique story. Healing happens best in a safe, judgment-free environment, and my role is to walk beside you with clarity, tools, and gentle guidance so you can step into your next best self. You deserve peace, balance, and the freedom to be who you truly are—and I’m here to help you get there.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Your first session is a chance to land, breathe, and be heard. We’ll explore what’s bringing you in, define your goals, and map out what healing could look like for you. I’ll guide you through my holistic lifestyle assessment to highlight strengths and stress points. You’ll leave with clarity, practical tools, and the reassurance that you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Together, we’ll uncover the areas of your lifestyle that support your mental health—and those that drain it.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My approach blends clinical training with holistic and spiritual practices. I draw from narrative therapy, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and somatic awareness—integrating tools like guided reflection, breathwork, energy healing, daily routines and lifestyle strategies. Clients describe my style as grounding, compassionate, and transformative. I see the whole person—mind, body, spirit—and help clients realign with who they truly are. Many clients report feeling more peace, clarity, and empowerment within just a few sessions. As a master strategist with a mix of humor and compassion, my goal is simple: you leave every session better than when you arrived.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with deep feelers, high achievers, and those who carry a lot for others while navigating how to refill their own cup. Are you navigating burnout, life transitions, anxiety, identity disconnection, or neurodivergence (Autism/ADHD). Together, we build clarity, balance, and sustainable healing so you can live with more freedom, joy, and purpose. With experience spanning music, spirituality, entertainment, government, media, education, creative arts and medicine, I bring a broad, diverse perspective—I get it.

My treatment methods

Jungian

I draw on Jungian practices like shadow work, exploring archetypes, and even birth chart reflections to support deeper self-discovery. This process helps clients align with purpose and integrate hidden parts of themselves.

Mind-body approach

I recognize the deep connection between mind and body. My practice includes an 8-point holistic lifestyle assessment, along with tools like grounding, movement, and breathwork to support balance and resilience.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I guide clients in building awareness of thoughts, emotions, and sensations in the present moment. These practices reduce stress and increase clarity, calm, and intentional living.

Narrative

I use storytelling as a way to explore perspective, shift mindset, and empower clients to reframe their personal narratives. This helps create space for healing and self-growth.

Had a great first session that made me excited to be back in therapy after avoiding it for 7-8 years. Amanda was super warm and grounded which made me feel comfortable to begin the process of sharing the areas of my life that I'd like to work on. We did some assessments that went into my relationships, self image, and lifestyle which created a great foundation for the work that's to come. Thanks!

Amanda was very easy to communicate with and related to a lot of the issues I’m having. She is equipped with the tools for guidance and the right words to steer you in the direction you need to be focused on.
