Hello, I'm Brandi Taylor, a licensed clinical social worker. I bring over six years of experience working closely with diverse communities. I focus extensively on trauma therapy, specializing in working with individuals living with HIV/AIDS and IPV. My approach includes facilitating trauma groups, advocating for victims of crime, and utilizing therapeutic modalities such as EMDR and DBT. I believe in the transformative power of empowerment. Together, we'll collaboratively set goals aimed at helping you become the best version of yourself. My style is laid-back and compassionate; I'm known to express passion with occasional colorful language, always rooted in care. I will challenge you when necessary and providing unwavering support as you achieve your goals. I won't do the work for you or give you all the answers. Instead, I'll walk beside you, offering guidance and encouragement as you navigate your path to healing. Let's work together to discover your strength and resilience.

In a world that continues to turn with or without us, we often wonder where we can get off in order to regroup. When we are expected to fulfill all of the everyday roles that we have taken on, we tend to lose touch with ourselves. My purpose is to provide an open, restorative and non-judgmental healing space for you. I am pleased to work with individuals who want help with anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. As well as providing support during life transitions, unexpected changes and personal growth. I don't believe in the cookie cutter approach, everyone is different and has different needs. I believe the client should have complete autonomy on their journey. I am here to support you as you move through healing from anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger management or even if you just need someone to listen. The goal for me is to make sure that the client feels welcomed, respected and safe. I look forward to walking with you on this new journey.

I primarily use CBT and Psychodynamic theory when working with clients. I believe in being very direct and blunt with clients as this will help them grow. I don't beat around the bush or allow clients to get away with self-deception and confront their irrational and dysfunctional belief systems. I am comfortable treating a variety of symptoms and conditions. I believe in creating a safe space for clients to express themselves however they need to. This encourages growth and trust in the therapeutic alliance. I encourage clients to set the goals they want to reach. This is their process. Wherever they want to go, I will help them get there. I tell my clients I am the car. They are the driver. We go to the destination they determine. The first session with me is information gathering so I will be asking a lot of questions and they will be doing most of the talking.

I am married and the father of two teenage kids. I enjoy sports, movies, and music. My hobbies include golf, camping, hiking, and kayaking.

Whether you are seeking help with a specific issue, needing to gain some insight in a particular area, or just want to talk through a certain thought or situation, I welcome everyone with respect, empathy, and compassion. I tend to lean more direct with regards to talking through issues expressed by clients. I hope to understand and define the specific issue in order to work with more focus. While it is important for clients to come to their own conclusions and decisions, I actively engage in sessions to provide support and guidance throughout the process.

Hi! I'm Daniel! I have over a decade of experience working with diverse clients in geriatrics, community mental health, and many other settings. In terms of therapeutic approaches, I believe strongly that evidence-based care is the best way for my clients to achieve their goals. That is why I primarily use a blend of somatic EMDR, CBT, DBT, and MI in my practice. My philosophy begins with the perspective that our thoughts control our feelings and our feelings control our actions. When we can change our thinking to be more adaptive, we can become the best versions of ourselves. I also am passionate about self-care and often utilize this tool to help clients maintain mental wellness. It is my greatest wish to see my clients reach their potential, experience happiness, and learn to find enjoyment and acceptance by living in the present moment! I hope you will begin that journey with me today!

Hi, I’m Rhonda! and I believe your marriage is worth fighting for. If you’re here, you might feel like the connection you once had with your spouse is slipping away. Maybe you’re stuck in endless arguments, living like roommates instead of partners, or carrying wounds that feel impossible to heal. Let me remind you: there’s hope. No matter how broken things feel, God can restore what’s been lost. I’ve been there too. My husband and I have faced seasons of struggle where life’s challenges created distance between us. But through God’s grace and intentional healing, we found restoration. That journey fuels my passion to help couples rediscover love and connection. Using emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and a Christ-centered approach, I create a safe space for you to rebuild trust, heal, and restore intimacy. When I’m not working, I’m walking with my husband, reading, re-watching Gilmore Girls (Team Luke), or leading a women’s soul care group at church. Let’s start this journey together.

If you're unsure about life's journey or seeking healing from grief or trauma, I specialize in helping. Together, using person-centered strategies, we'll navigate towards healing and growth.

Thank you for clicking on my profile. I am a Certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist and have extensive experience working with individuals who have experienced a wide range of losses. All of us experience some type of loss – pets die, we move from one city to another, parents divorce, a parent chooses not to be a part of our lives, relationships end, we lose important jobs, and the list goes on. Grief is the normal and natural reaction to loss of any kind. Depression and anxiety can be symptoms of a loss. Whether grief is caused by a death or another loss, incomplete relationships can have a lifelong negative impact on your capacity for happiness. I would be honored to work with you and learn more about how you would like to live a more fulfilling life.

Hello my name is Margaret Banks. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have experience working with people from many different backgrounds. I have worked in crisis intervention, healthcare, corrections, and private practice. Are you feeling unhappy, unmotivated, or simply stuck in life? I want to help you get on track to feeling better. I have helped people facing challenges of grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, communication issues, codependency, self-esteem, forgiveness, and infidelity, just to name a few. I understand finding the right therapist to assist you through this difficult time in your life is very important. If you don’t have a connection with your therapist, you won’t be able to make the progress that you are hoping to achieve. I believe exploring childhood experiences are very important simply because those experiences can often shape adulthood experiences. If there are unresolved issues from the past, people may find themselves engaging in reoccurring maladaptive behaviors until those issues are resolved. I want to collaborate with you and offer guidance through the journey of healing.

I take joy in partnering with individuals to learn to know all parts of themselves from a non-judgmental and curious lens. I believe that we can best evolve when we have an understanding of ourselves and how past situations and experiences have influenced our current working system of thoughts and feelings. While I find strong importance in gaining insight, I tend to be goal-oriented and I want to assist you with internalizing the therapeutic process so that your insight and skills will transcend beyond our work together. I see you as the expert on yourself, and I conceptualize my role as guiding you through exploration, shining light on areas that are necessary for you to examine in order to evolve and move forward. With compassion and appropriate support, I believe that individuals can mobilize internal skills and abilities in order to address pain, conflict, and challenging circumstances.

When I retired from the United States Air Force, I wanted to use my natural intuitive abilities to help others in a more formalized way. I have always been told that I'm a good listener and give great advice. As a therapist, I don't give advice; however, I help create an environment where clients experience layers of limiting beliefs being removed.
