Joel Taggart
(He/Him/His)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
My primary treatment modality is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). When you apply these skills between sessions, you will see a benefit.
I have been practicing for 10 years in a range of treatment settings. I have worked with Active Duty Service Members and their families, Veterans, and people from all walks of life. I currently have a private practice where I affirm everyone I see, and I enjoy working with all ages and demographics. DBT is my primary treatment modality, however, I use other evidence-based treatments as well. Members of all backgrounds are welcome in my practice and I look forward to seeing you soon!
