Play Therapy

Play Therapy is a therapeutic approach that helps children express emotions and resolve issues through play. By engaging in play, children can communicate and explore their feelings in a safe, supportive environment, fostering emotional and psychological healing.

Animal Assisted Play Therapy ®

Animal-Assisted Play Therapy combines the benefits of animal-assisted therapy with play therapy to help children express emotions and address psychological challenges. By interacting with animals in a playful and therapeutic setting, children feel more relaxed and open, enabling them to explore their feelings, enhance social skills, and build confidence. .

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is a psychotherapy treatment focused on learning the skills to manage emotional difficulties. The curriculum is split into four key areas of learning: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapy that helps individuals process and overcome trauma and distressing experiences. Through guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact and facilitating healing. This evidence-based approach is effective for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and other emotional issues.

(she/her)

Hi, my name is Taylor! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Registered Play Therapist (RPT). I completed my Master's in Social Work from the University of Denver (2021) with a specialty in working with children and youth and a certificate in Animal-Assisted Social Work. I am both Animal-Assisted Play Therapy ® and EMDR Trained. I began my career working with kids and teens about ten years ago in a variety of internships and field work. Now, I work alongside my trained therapy dog, Kya! Together, we love to help kiddos and parents when life gets challenging:

Parenting
Grief
Trauma
Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders
Neurodivergence: ADHD, ASD, OCD
Adoption and Foster Care
Divorce

I am passionate about helping clients create change in their lives and fostering resilience in our community. My specialties include working with children, adolescents, families, and young adults from a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach.

My work is informed by developmental, systems, and attachment theories and integrates aspects of models like play therapy, EMDR, animal-assisted play therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy. LGBTQ+ allied and neurodivergent affirming.

When I'm not helping my clients, I am baking, reading, quilting, playing with my dogs, and taking photos!
