Taylor West
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have experience helping children, teens, and adults with a multitude of struggles. Previously I have worked in the school system, have provided educational seminars for teachers, crisis services, and private practice with induvials of all ages. With this experience, I can assist you in building a growth mindset and confidence to manage the stressors of life. Together, we will build your understanding of body-based symptoms through Psychoeducation, reshape unhelpful thought patterns using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and practice mindfulness/coping techniques with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. And yes we will practice this TOGETHER! I strongly believe that working on new skills together builds confidence more effectively than simply recommending them. My hope for you is to walk away each session knowing a new skill or concept to use towards your growth. I will teach coping techniques, explain the benefits, and practice with you! We can use these skills when feeling overwhelmed in session, allowing you to feel more empowered when using them in real life stresses.
