Mary Taylor
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I have experience with and enjoy helping both adults & children. I have specialized training in Play Therapy and TBRI, and I am EMDR (trauma therapy) trained. I also provide testing for ADHD and Autism (ADOS-2). While I truly enjoy working with individuals of all ages, there is a special place in my heart for foster/adoptive children and families, and those with behavioral issues. (Trauma, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Behavioral issues, Parenting, ADHD) Whether working with children or adults, I find it best to tailor therapy and interventions to meet each client's unique needs. Once trust and rapport (the most important aspects of a therapeutic relationship) are established, I utilize a combination of approaches. These include: EMDR, TF-CBT, Solution-focused, Play Therapy, TBRI, Sand Tray, and more. Adults-- I help individuals overcome past struggles, challenge & replace negative beliefs, process past traumas, identify personal strengths, develop healthy coping skills, and improve daily functioning. Kiddos-- I provide an environment for kids to safely explore & express their emotions, process any past traumas, and develop necessary skills. Utilizing a combination of interventions, I help kids learn new coping skills and ways to redirect negative behaviors, allowing them to thrive!.
