Taylor Allie
Licensed Professional Counselor, LGPC
I believe everyone in life has a unique path they follow. I provide a safe space to help you navigate the ebbs and flows of everyday you may encounter. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy for those experiencing anxiety, depression, intergenerational trauma, low self-esteem, and BIPOC-specific issues such as difficulty maneuvering through systematic oppression. I tailor each of my sessions to the individual and their needs. I greatly value a person-centered approach toward therapy where a compassionate therapeutic relationship is most important. Through a collaborative, creative style we will approach sessions as a mindful opportunity to model ideal well-being and interpersonal practices so that you can feel confident in who you are. Techniques I specialize in are Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Buddhist Psychology. I would be honored to offer you the judgment-free space you need to explore what it is like to be seen, heard, and begin your therapy journey with you.

My goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment where you can truly feel supported,encouraged and empowered.
