Kenya Taylor, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kenya!

Are you ready to make meaningful changes in your life? I invite you to begin this journey with me. I want to support you to be your best self and maximize solutions for success in a safe, welcoming environment.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, pain management, and life transitions. My experience spans diverse communities and settings, allowing me to address your unique needs with cultural competence and respect.

My approach

I use empathy and build rapport while we develop a plan to help you reach your goals. We may use CBT, Solution-Focused therapy, and Motivational Interviewing during your sessions. First, we'll discuss what your goals are in therapy and create a path forward together.

My communication style

I provide an empathetic and welcoming environment for all clients, couples, and families. Respect for your uniqueness is mandatory. You can expect warmth, understanding, and a collaborative approach tailored to your specific needs and goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to therapy was driven by a commitment to promoting mental health and cultural competence across diverse communities. I've worked in schools, healthcare, and community programs, always focused on helping people maximize their potential and well-being.

My goals for you

We'll work together to identify what success looks like for you and create practical strategies to get there. My focus is on building solutions that fit your life and help you achieve lasting, meaningful change.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I'll listen carefully to understand your story and together we'll begin developing a plan that feels right for you.
