Taelyr Patton, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Taelyr!

I tailor my approach differently for each client, with the most common methods being mindfulness, CBT, and DBT. I currently focus on couples, youth, and families as they overcome various seasons of their lives.

My focus

Over the years, I have helped couples save their marriages, work through family grief, and work through betrayal trauma. I enjoy working with individuals as they reconnect with themselves and rebuild their self-esteem and identity. I also work with families and/or individuals, treating grief and addiction.

My approach

I use the approaches of mindfulness, CBT, and DBT, however, not everyone fits into that approach. Depending on my clients' needs, I also use models based on grief, recovery, acceptance, trauma, and emotional intelligence.

My communication style

I like to create an atmosphere of safety and transparency. I want my client to feel safe sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly. Our sessions are a time to get real and fully explore their life journey and where it has brought them. Then the client gets to decide the direction they want to head in life.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a teen, I worked with foster youth who shared their stories of abandonment, loneliness, and trauma. As a kid myself, I didn't fully know how to support besides listening and comforting. I never wanted to feel that helpless when helping a fellow human being again, so I became a therapist.

My goals for you

The client gets to establish 3 - 6 goals where we identify coping techniques and seek further insight into the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of the goal selected. We will take weekly steps towards achieving the goal together.

Our first session

During the first session, we will explore the background to understand the current matter at hand and how we got here.
