Tonya Taylor

I work with clients as they put together pieces of their puzzle, listening nonjudgmentally; and offering resources and guidance. This collaborative effort organizes the pieces to create a cohesive picture for holistic care. I often incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in my counseling approach, believing that pain is an unavoidable part of life and that attempts to avoid pain or uncertainty cause increased suffering. Learning how to process life’s ups and downs and live in the present moment helps one adapt to whatever life brings. I have experience working with men and women and have a particular affinity for college-aged students, having spent a year counseling on a college campus before coming to LifeCare. Some areas of interest include anxiety, depression, grief/loss, identity, and spiritual concerns.
