Taylor Brown, ASW

Taylor provides individual therapy to youth, teens, and adults who are ready to address the challenges that often arise while navigating life transitions, BIPOC-related issues, women’s issues, relationship-based challenges, and trauma. She understands how these experiences can disrupt daily life, impact relationships, and leave you with feelings of uncertainty and instability. 

Taylor views the therapist's role as facilitating a safe and healing space where clients can express themselves while working collaboratively to overcome life's challenges. She considers the whole person—not only their internal struggles but also the social symbols that shape how they experience the world. She believes in being culturally competent and listening to clients, acknowledging them as the experts of their own experiences. By holding space with empathy, she holds her clients accountable in their recovery journey while supporting them with compassion and understanding.

Taylor’s approach considers the whole person—internal struggles as well as the cultural and societal factors that shape their worldview. Taylor listens closely, acknowledging clients as the experts of their own lives, while compassionately holding them accountable in their recovery journey. She utilizes a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength-Based approaches, and Mindfulness to tailor her approach to each client. By looking into a client’s past to understand how it affects the present, she helps clients overcome their obstacles and move towards healing.

Taylor holds a Bachelor’s degree from San Diego State University with a minor in Counseling and Social Change, as well as a Master of Social Work from Walden University. She has worked across diverse settings and populations, including children with autism as a registered behavior technician, adults in inpatient mental health facilities, and juvenile youth, helping them in individual therapy to expunge their criminal records.
