My name is Andrea Taylor, LCSW. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) and ADHD-Certified Clinical Service Provider (ADHD-CCSP) based in the Tampa, Florida area. My experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling by far is the connection and comfort you feel with the person you choose to share your personal struggles. I believe we can all grow through challenging experiences through self-awareness. We all want to be able to share our personal truths and be accepted and understood. I believe it's very important to be open-minded and non-judgmental when someone shares their personal story or experiences. I've worked with individuals and couples who have a variety of personal issues such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), management, depression, anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), family problems, relationship/parenting, grief/bereavement, infertility, life-threatening illnesses and more.

Experiencing personal transformations can bring both liberation and joy, but they can also cause upheaval and stress.

I am a bilingual LCSW with over 10 years of experience working in the human services field; focusing on mental health, behavior, and non-profit work. I grew up in Los Angeles, Ca., completed my Master of Social Work at Fordham University in the Bronx, NY., and currently reside in Ocala, Fl. As an LCSW I treat clients from across the lifespan with varying therapeutic needs by applying an integrative approach to treatment. Some of my areas of experience include treating family systems and individuals navigating intergenerational trauma, parents and children dealing with challenging behavior, neurodivergent populations, and individuals with a desire to better understand themselves and the maladaptive behaviors causing distress, mood issues, and anxiety. Areas of specialty include working with young adults navigating life after high school, parenting individuals/partners, and those who identify as Latina women struggling to balance relationships, family, individual needs, and independence. I believe that everyone and their experiences are unique, this is why I meet clients where they are in their life journey, empowering them to find and enhance solutions and coping skills that meet their needs. Although I am trained in CBT and DBT these interventions are only a part of my integrative approach to treatment. Client-centered care remains at the center of treatment; as there is not one single intervention that is best for all. Your treatment is yours, together we will create a treatment plan that empowers you.

I worked as a teacher for over 15 years before making the journey into a community mental health career. I have experience in mobile crisis response, trauma, forensic mental health concerns. To explain who I am as a therapist, I reflect back to my role as an educator. In the classroom, there was a movement for the teacher to be less of a “sage on the stage” (teacher-centered approach) and more of a “guide on the side” (student-centered). To me, therapy is a lesson plan for a learning experience. It's a guide to develop what the client needs to learn in order to cope with whatever barriers are showing up in the client's life, whether that barrier is an internal issue, such as self-image, or how to cope with work stress. My therapeutic perspective is to provide empathetic, non-judgmental, compassionate guidance and support in an atmosphere of respect and safety while allowing clients to be the experts of their lives, much like “a co-pilot, a sous chef, or an assistant manager” of a client-therapist relationship. I use solution-focused elements to help move toward desired goals, cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and motivational interviewing to help gain understanding and clarity. Outside of traditional therapy, I enjoy the practices of mindfulness, guided meditation, aromatherapy, and Reiki. Finding a therapist that's the right fit can be a challenging task, but taking that first step towards a healthier you is worth it. I look forward to working with you to help break down those barriers and make progress in areas that most matter to you.

Hello and Welcome! I am Dr. Jaclyn. Are you feeling stressed out? Do you question everything? Have you thought about improving your relationships? I bring over 10 years of experience working with a diverse clientele. I have helped individuals overcome numerous issues including stress and anxiety disorders, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, depression, behavioral issues and grief. My work also includes helping couples and families restore communication among other issues, such as divorce, separation and co-parenting. I use an evidence-based form of psychotherapy called cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify your helpful or unwanted thoughts. Then, we will work together to reframe them into more productive and positive ideas. Also, I will work with you to find relief from the symptoms that are making you uncomfortable. To do this, I will teach you and help you practice a variety of coping techniques. These tools will be tailored to meet your unique needs. For example, you may learn and practice deep breathing techniques that are designed to ground you. Therefore, helping to reduce your anxiety. As a compassionate counselor, I am here to work with you on your journey to self care. I take my role as counselor serious and am dedicated to making this a comfortable and healing environment. I am confident in my ability to provide a trusting and nonjudgmental space.

I am so grateful that you are here and made it to this first step. Have the events, losses, stress, demands and relationships in life led you down a path where your light has dimmed? Has your work / life balance become so undefined that you no longer have the motivation you used to? I provide a warm, empathetic and healing relationship where you feel comfortable to explore your journey to achieving greater emotional wellness. Above all else, we are human beings and can naturally relate to each other when provided with the safe space to do so. My unique background supporting clients both in the corporate world as well as inpatient clinical setting allow me to form strong alliances with a wide range of individuals. Having the ability to make one feel heard, understood and valued is a particular strength and one that gives me great purpose. I specialize in supporting adults, young and older, struggling with stress (work related or personal), anxiety, depression, addictions and unhealthy relationships. I also assist with healing from grief and loss, traumatic experiences, and life transitions. Through a process of providing you with opportunities to improve self confidence, make lifestyle adjustments, and find acceptance, you are able to discover inner serenity and resiliency. We will peel away the layers that no longer serve you.
