Taylor Mize
Everyone experiences challenges in their lives. At times, these challenges may dominate your psyche to the point where it feels unbearable. Whether it’s a relationship in your life that is leaving you emotionally drained, you’re struggling to find your own voice, or you’re having a difficult time through life changes, I am here to help get you back on your feet. “When trauma has shaped you, try not to confuse who you had to become with who you can be.” –Thema Bryant Davis
As a therapist, I draw from a multitude of counseling orientations: Trauma-Informed Counseling, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy, Solution-Focused, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Attachment Theory and Somatic work.
My goal as a therapist is to help you emerge from therapy feeling empowered and being able to express your needs and set boundaries. I am passionate about the counseling process as I know that it has changed countless lives, and it can change yours. I received my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from the Graduate School of Education and Psychology at Pepperdine University in Los Angeles, California. I have an emphasis in Marriage and Family therapy and specialize in those who suffer trauma from intimate partner violence.
