Taylor A. (Taylor) Johnson
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
Therapy isn't about “fixing” you. It’s about understanding yourself, building resilience, and creating a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.
I believe that our pasts can inform us and they do not have to define us. I approach therapy with compassion, collaboration and through evidence-based care. The therapeutic space is one where we get to create a new beginning, and I find joy in empowering my clients to explore, define, and set their own boundaries for their best lives. I am passionate about helping my clients navigate difficult issues like relationship and family conflict, self esteem issues, anxiety, depression, eating disorders in healthier ways. I approach therapy from a strengths based perspective while helping each individual client develop solutions that will aid in their growth and overall improved sense of self. I'm passionate about supporting BIPOC, faith-based, and LGBTQIA communities. I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help people figure out why it is they operate the way they do, and then develop strategies to improve those behaviors and thought processes. Life is hard, and you don't have to do the hard things alone. I am excited to walk alongside you in your journey!
