Rashida Taylor, LMFT — Therapist in Louisiana

Hi there, I'm Rashida!

I specialize in a Solution-Focused approach that helps clients find solutions to current challenges and develop skills for success. I believe each person has the tools to reach their goals, and I'm here to facilitate that process.

My focus

I work with teenagers and families facing depression, anxiety, substance abuse, behavioral difficulties, and family dynamics issues. I treat Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Trauma, and Substance Use Disorders. I also help with life changes, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges.

My approach

I use a solution-focused approach based on scientific evidence, oriented towards achieving goals, and focused on strengths. My objective is to help you recognize and concentrate on your strengths, resources, and solutions to reach your desired outcomes efficiently and effectively.

My communication style

I create a collaborative, nurturing environment where you can explore, process, and heal. Each session is tailored to your needs while maintaining acceptance and understanding. I value open communication and trust, approaching you with empathy while providing guidance and support. You'll feel heard, seen, and respected.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been compassionate and knew early on I wanted to work with people in a meaningful way. After studying sociology and psychology, I pursued a graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I remain committed to providing the highest level of care to my clients.

My goals for you

I work closely with you to identify therapeutic objectives and develop SMART goals tailored to your unique needs. We discuss strategies, potential obstacles, and break larger goals into manageable steps. We track progress and celebrate successes. My goal is to empower you to take ownership and find success.

Our first session

In our first session, I'll take time to get to know you and learn about your background. We'll discuss your objectives for therapy and the issues you want to work on. I'll explain my therapeutic approach and address any worries you may have. Together, we'll develop a customized plan to help you achieve your goals.
