I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been in the mental health field since 2014. Throughout my journey in this field, I realized that utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches is necessary to ensure an individual's success in reaching their goals. When providing counseling, guidance and education to the individuals I serve, I believe it is essential to be empathetic, respectful, culturally aware and to always acknowledge an individual's preferences when it comes to their treatment. I am family oriented and recognize the importance of having a support system to rely on. Being part of an individual's healing and success is a privilege and has always brought me self fulfillment.

Hi, my name is Teilor, and I specialize in working with individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, and life’s deeper questions. I take an integrative approach that includes practical tools to help manage overwhelming emotions, while also drawing from existential therapy to explore the "why" beneath the surface. If you’ve been feeling anxious or down, it’s totally understandable to want some relief—but my approach is to take a deeper look at what those feelings might be trying to tell you.

I graduated from Arizona State University with a Master's in Social Work in 2023. I'm not the "perfect expert" type.

I'm warm and genuine; I bring real energy to every session, yes, even through a screen, and I practice what I teach because mental health is something we all work at. Expect me to be direct, and don't be surprised if I send you home with "homework." Growth happens in the everyday moments, not just the hour we spend together. My job is simple: help you reconnect with your strengths, build real confidence, and move toward the life you actually want. You're worth that work. Let's get started.

In my clinical work, I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel welcome in expressing yourself fully, working at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My style is relational and interactive, and tools used in treatment vary according to the individual situation. These may include exploration and expression of thoughts and feelings, expanding skills in areas such as stress coping, communication, boundary setting, providing support in problem-solving, or some combination of these. I am non-directive in my approach, operating from a person-centered lens. I work with a range of topics including life stressors, relationship difficulties, as well as mood and anxiety disorders. "Psychoanalytic therapy requires of the therapist a degree of intelligence, a degree of professional knowledge and skill, a capacity for empathic attunement with another, a willingness to immerse ourselves in another person’s private, subjective world, an absolutely ruthless willingness to examine ourselves, and for want of a better word, humanity. Of all the qualities that go into the making of a psychotherapist, it is this last and most ineffable quality that may ultimately carry the day.” Jonathan Shedler, That was then; this is now

I’m a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for helping people feel seen, supported, and empowered. I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling with an emphasis in Trauma, Abuse, and Deprivation from Ottawa University, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Arizona State University. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, individuals living with HIV, human trafficking survivors, and the neurodivergent community. My approach is integrative and tailored to each person’s needs, drawing from CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), LGBTQ-affirmative CBT, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), art therapy, play therapy, music therapy, and mindfulness practices. I’m deeply committed to making behavioral health care accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds. It means so much when clients tell me that our sessions are their safe space. I’m grateful to be able help bridge gaps for communities that have often been marginalized or hesitant to seek support. Outside of my work, I’m a wife and mom of two amazing kids. I love horror movies, eating potstickers and dumplings, and going to concerts whenever I can. Top concerts I've been to have to be My Chemical Romance, Ramon Ayala, Chappel Roan, and RBD (Rebelde).

Hi, I’m a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S), and I’ve been working with clients for over 10 years who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted and not sure where to start. I earned my Master’s in Rehabilitation Counseling from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. I’m also certified as a Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, career challenges, and major life transitions, especially when life feels like “too much” on the inside, even if you’re still managing on the outside. My goal is to provide a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and talk honestly without judgment or pressure. Together, we work to understand what’s keeping you stuck and build practical tools to help you feel more grounded, clear, and in control again. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish because feeling understood in your own language matters. Ofrezco terapia en inglés y español porque sentirse comprendido(a) en tu propio idioma es importante.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Arizona rather than a city like Phoenix?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Arizona. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Arizona from Tucson to Mesa! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Arizona.

Will my therapist take EAP:Cigna?

Yes! If you use EAP:Cigna you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have EAP:Cigna you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
