Sabrina Taylor
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Hey Love Counseling, where I support individuals, couples, and families, with a primary focus on couples therapy. I help clients navigate communication challenges, rebuild trust, deepen emotional connection, and better understand the patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My style is warm, welcoming, compassionate, and strengths-based. I offer a space where you can share openly, feel heard, and explore difficult experiences without judgment. You can also expect thoughtful questions and gentle challenges that encourage insight, accountability, and meaningful growth. Together, we will build on your strengths and develop practical skills you can use beyond our sessions.
Restoring Love & Mending Hearts... Helping You Feel Heard, Heal, and Reconnect...
My experience includes couples and premarital counseling, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, parenting, women’s concerns, family relationships, and childhood sexual trauma. I draw from approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Solution-Focused Therapy, client-centered therapy, radical acceptance, and Gottman and Imago approaches to couples work, tailoring our sessions to your needs and goals. My Christian faith is an important part of who I am, and I believe faith can be a source of strength through life’s difficulties. For clients who desire it, I offer Christian integration from a non-denominational perspective. I welcome clients of all faiths and backgrounds; your beliefs and preferences will guide whether spirituality is included in our work. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself and others as you move toward the life and relationships you want.
First session
In our first session, whether you come as a couple or an individual, my focus is on understanding what brought you in and creating a space where you feel safe, heard, and supported. We’ll explore the patterns, emotions, and goals that matter most to you, and I’ll help you gain clarity about the direction of our work together. You can expect a calm, balanced environment, thoughtful questions, and a sense of grounding as we begin your therapeutic process.
Strengths
One of my strengths is helping clients put words to feelings and needs they have struggled to express. I pay attention to what is being said, what remains unspoken, and how recurring patterns affect relationships. With couples, I help slow down difficult conversations so each partner can move beyond defending their position toward understanding one another. I also bring a willingness to address difficult topics directly and compassionately. I help clients recognize their role in patterns without shaming them, identify specific changes they can make, and practice those changes in session. My goal is for you to leave with a clearer understanding of yourself and a practical next step. My greatest strengths as a therapist lie in helping couples and individuals understand the deeper emotional patterns that shape their relationships. I create a calm, balanced space where people feel safe to be honest, explore their needs, and communicate more effectively. Using evidence‑based methods like IFS, EFT, the Gottman Method, and attachment‑focused work, I offer practical tools that lead to meaningful, lasting change. Whether you’re working to strengthen your partnership or grow individually, my approach is compassionate, grounded, and focused on helping you build healthier, more connected ways of relating.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve couples, adult individuals, and families who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful change in their relationships and daily lives. My clients are often navigating emotional patterns rooted in past experiences—especially childhood—and are seeking a therapist who can help them make sense of these patterns in a way that feels practical, supportive, and grounded. I work well with clients who: Want to strengthen their relationship, improve communication, or rebuild trust Feel stuck in recurring emotional or relational cycles Are motivated to understand how their past influences their present Desire a calmer, more connected home environment Value a blend of evidence‑based therapy and compassionate, faith‑informed support (when desired) Are open to learning new skills and applying them between sessions Want a therapist who is warm, direct, and collaborative I also support families and adult individuals who are navigating transitions, stress, conflict, or emotional overwhelm. I work with children only within the family unit, ensuring that the therapeutic process strengthens the entire system rather than placing responsibility on the child alone. My approach is especially helpful for clients who want to understand the “why” behind their emotions and behaviors, and who are ready to build healthier patterns, clearer communication, and deeper emotional connection.
Treatment methods
Faith-based therapy
I use multiple treatment modalities. I will assess you to determine what works best. I utilize Gottman, IFT, SFT IMAGO for work with couples, individuals and families.
Compassion-Focused
As an LMFT, I often explore how childhood experiences shape the patterns you carry into your adult relationships. I have extensive experience using this approach and integrate it in a way that feels practical, supportive, and tailored to each client. My work focuses on helping you understand the emotional and relational patterns driving your reactions, choices, and connections with others. Using this framework, I guide you toward clearer communication, deeper connection, and meaningful, lasting change.
