I am happy to help guide, support and encourage along the way. My therapeutic approach is a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic, Solution focused and incorporating other evidence base practices such as Managing and adapting practices (MAP), Alternatives for Families a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (AF-CBT).

It takes courage and bravery to take that first step towards change, if you are ready to take that first step I am happy to help guide, support and encourage along the way. I look forward to working with you.

Taylor Chowning, AMFT
There are times in our lives when we may feel overwhelmed or lost, leaving us feeling stuck or unsure of how to progress. Therapy often sounds daunting as it can carry stigma and judgement, and for that reason I strive to build a solid foundation built on trust and connections with clients. As a therapist, I utilize evidence-based practices and an eclectic approach to assist in creating an environment that is catered to each client. Most importantly, I place great emphasis on incorporating a culturally aware and trauma-informed lens as these are aspects of our lives that have helped shape who we are. Throughout my time as a therapist, I have worked with adults and adolescents who have struggled to manage their day-to-day lives while dealing with trauma, depression, and anxiety. Furthermore, I am fluent in Spanish and have experience working closely with adolescents, adults, and families within the Latinx community. I look forward to working with you and guiding you through the process that is therapy.

Seeking therapy is one of the first and hardest steps anyone can take and for that, I thank you for advocating for yourself.

I am honored to walk with my clients on their journey of inner healing and understanding. There is tremendous value in exploring our past experiences and how they are internalized based on the messages we receive from those around us. These messages can influence and shape our identity and the types of relationships we have. My therapeutic approach is a mixture of person-centered, psychodynamic and CBT. Helping clients identify the tools they need to create changes in thinking, identify new coping mechanisms, and practice healthy boundaries for their own personal growth creates immense empowerment.

My experience is working with adults, teens, college students, couples, and families that are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships concerns, and trauma. I am also an ally to the LGBTQI+ community. My goal is to provide that outlet and environment where a client feels safe and brave to share their story.
