Hi there, I'm Allana Taylor. I've been doing this work for over 20 years, so you and/or your family member are in good hands! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with individuals and families in private practice and community mental health settings. I strongly believe that a successful therapeutic experience should focus less on the bad choices you have made in your life and more on the right choices that you decide to makes going forward. Our therapeutic relationship will focus on building skills and tools to help you navigate life's challenges.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
You'll have a safe space to share you hopes and concerns for the future. We will work collaboratively to learn new skills and tools to help you achieve the things in life that are important to you. You will leave therapy feeling hopeful and optimistic about the direction of your life.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
We will focus on making changes in behaviors and destructive thought patterns. I am trained in CBT and Trauma Focused CBT. I also incorporate principles of solution focused and DBT therapies.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I enjoy working with folks of all ages and presenting concerns. I am especially skilled in supporting folks who are having difficulties managing symptoms of anxiety and depression.
