Taylor Gaffney
I am a licensed therapist who specializes in working with children, teens, and young adults, supporting them through major life transitions, anxiety, depression, personal growth, and everything else that comes with that period in life.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is creating a non-judgmental and honest space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions freely.
I provide individual therapy in a compassionate, collaborative space where clients can explore their experiences and build lasting emotional resilience while learning tools to cope in the future.
First session
In the first therapy session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and exploring what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask some questions about your background and goals, and we’ll work together to begin shaping a space that feels safe, supportive, and tailored to your needs.
Strengths
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is creating a non-judgmental and honest space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions freely. I bring warmth, directness, and genuine care to each session, helping clients feel supported while also encouraging meaningful insight and growth.
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are teens and young adults who may be navigating anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, family conflict, or major life transitions. They may be struggling to understand their emotions, feel misunderstood by others, or find themselves stuck in patterns they want to change. I enjoy working with clients who are open to exploring their thoughts and feelings, gaining insight into themselves, and developing practical tools to manage life’s challenges. Whether they know exactly what they want to work on or are still figuring it out, I strive to meet them where they are and help them feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress and behavioral challenges. Through collaborative exploration, we work on developing practical skills and coping strategies to create meaningful, lasting change. CBT offers a structured, evidence-based approach that empowers clients to better understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Psychodynamic
I use Psychodynamic Therapy to help clients explore the deeper, often unconscious roots of their thoughts, emotions, and relationship patterns. By understanding how past experiences influence present behavior, clients gain insight and emotional clarity. This reflective process supports long-term healing and personal growth.
