Emily J Taylor, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Emily J!

I'm dedicated to helping you restore hope and optimism in your life. My goal is to empower you to make the positive changes you desire to improve your well-being and life satisfaction.

My focus

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I specialize in anger management, substance use, behavioral and school issues, relationship problems, grief, trauma, abuse, cultural stress, gender identity, and life transitions.

My approach

I work in close partnership with you to develop a treatment plan focused on your specific goals. My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, family therapy, play therapy, and more, tailored to fit your unique needs.

My communication style

You can expect me to be an attentive, non-judgmental listener who creates a safe, supportive space for you to share openly. I offer caring guidance while empowering you with practical strategies and coping skills. Our work together is collaborative, culturally sensitive, and always focused on your needs.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to mental healthcare out of a deep desire to help others overcome challenges and live fulfilling lives. I've dedicated myself to providing the highest quality of care.

My goals for you

My goals are to help you gain fresh insights, build on your inner strengths, and make meaningful, lasting changes to enhance your life and relationships. I want to equip you with the understanding and tools to resolve current issues and navigate future challenges with greater resilience.

Our first session

In our first session, I'll focus on getting to know you, understanding your reasons for seeking therapy, and learning about your concerns and hopes. We'll begin to formulate a treatment plan aligned with your goals. Most importantly, I want you to feel heard and validated.
