Antoinette Taylor, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Antoinette!

I'm glad you're here! Taking the first step can seem overwhelming, but all success starts with small steps. My expertise is working with individuals to develop skills that assist them with navigating through life. Often, it can be helpful to have someone walk with you.

My focus

My ideal clients are adults who want to embark on a journey towards improving their mental and emotional wellness. By addressing challenges, you'll be able to move past barriers that may be impeding forward movement. I can walk alongside you on this meaningful journey and help process barriers along the way.

My approach

You are the expert of your life. My role is to build upon your inherent strengths through evidence-based practices in a non-judgmental space. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change negative thought patterns and behaviors. By challenging those thoughts, we can shift your thinking and make positive steps towards your goals.

My communication style

I am naturally solution-focused, but I recognize that not all changes occur in a linear way. From a person-centered and strengths-based perspective, we move at your pace. I facilitate conversations that guide us through the goals you set. We discuss and address any hurdles through an objective lens to make adjustments.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been someone who wanted to help people. I am a believer in working towards wellness and self-improvement. It's important to have support as we endeavor to work through these changes.

My goals for you

I operate from a person-centered and client-focused approach to treatment. Small steps lead to progress, and it's important to acknowledge and appreciate every victory that we have along the way. Setting small, short, obtainable goals will lead to new habits and behaviors.

Our first session

You can expect a warm, welcoming environment where we can get to know one another. It's important to build rapport and understand what you're looking for in treatment. Together, we can develop a plan on what goals you'd like to achieve and what steps can be taken to get you there.
