Dana Taylor

My communication style

I create an environment that is warm, grounded, and nonjudgmental. I work hard to make sure you feel seen, respected, and safe. Working with me feels collaborative—I don't believe in just giving advice or fixing things for people. I ask thoughtful questions, help connect the dots, and provide practical support.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been drawn to understanding people's stories, and I believe that everyone has the capacity for change and resilience, even in the face of difficult circumstances. Being able to walk alongside people as they work through challenges feels incredibly meaningful to me.

My goals for you

I use a client-centered approach, meaning I don't impose goals but help you clarify your own. Throughout our work together, I check in regularly, adjusting goals as circumstances change. My aim is to help you build confidence in your ability to make meaningful changes, no matter how small they may seem.

Our first session

My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected. We'll start by going over confidentiality and what to expect. I'll ask you about what brings you in and about your strengths, support systems, and any goals you have. You don't have to share everything all at once; we'll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
