Taylor Alderete

My communication style

My communication style in therapy is calm, friendly, and approachable. I aim to create an environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves without fear of judgment. I understand that opening up about personal struggles can feel vulnerable, so building trust and a sense of safety is a central part of my work.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my work at a middle school before transitioning to private practice, where I've spent the past four years working with clients ages 8-70. With a background in competitive sports, I aim to support clients navigating anxiety, identity, and life in general.

My goals for you

Depending on your needs, therapy may include open conversation, psychoeducation, skill-building, and exploring strategies that support both emotional well-being and personal growth. I aim to help clients better understand themselves, develop self-compassion, and build resilience when facing life’s inevitable challenges.

Our first session

Starting therapy can feel both exciting and a little intimidating, so my goal in our first session is to create a calm, welcoming space where you feel comfortable being yourself. You don’t need to have everything figured out! This is simply a chance for me to get to know you and understand what you’re hoping to gain from therapy.
