Velma Taylor, LCPC — Therapist in Maryland

Hi there, I'm Velma!

I am a people-person practicing primarily CBT, Adlerian, and some eclectic modalities. My clients have included Grief, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, Post Traumatic Stress, and a few Personality disorders.

My focus

Client base has included Anxiety, Bipolar, Depression, Grief, Marital issues, Post-Traumatic Stress, and co-occurring disorders.

My approach

I primarily practice using Adlerian and CBT theoretical approaches.

My communication style

My preference is to practice in an informal environment using a confident, genuine, sincere tone. I like to enable my clients to set the stage for working together.

My journey to mental healthcare

So many people would elicit my opinion on a number of personal issues. They commented that my advice was sound. Since I thought I was good at providing advice, I pursued this work and found my purpose.

My goals for you

After establishing a therapeutic relationship, together the client and I will discuss and agree on goals. I will recommend and share what I think from a professional perspective.

Our first session

The first session will include beginning a therapeutic relationship. In introducing myself, some legal and ethical points, and an overview of the counseling process, I will conduct a client background assessment and provide a diagnosis.
