Getting to know Allana Taylor
Hi there, I'm Allana Taylor. I've been doing this work for over 20 years, so you and/or your family member are in good hands! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and a Bachelor's degree from Wake Forest University. I have experience working with individuals and families in private practice and community mental health settings. I strongly believe that a successful therapeutic experience should focus less on the bad choices you have made in your life and more on the right choices that you decide to make going forward. Our therapeutic relationship will focus on building skills and tools to help you navigate life's challenges.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You'll have a safe space to share you hopes and concerns for the future. We will work collaboratively to learn new skills and tools to help you achieve the things in life that are important to you. You will leave therapy feeling hopeful and optimistic about the direction of your life.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

This was the most positive first-time experience I've had with a new therapist. I'm excited to return for a follow-up visit.

Allana Taylor's professionalism is at 100%. She currently works with my daughter. I wish I would have found her for myself. My teenager looks forward to talking to her and will often ask if another appointment can be made. I love the excitement that my daughter has when she knows she's about to meet with Ms. Taylor. The joy she has after her appointment is comforting as well. I've asked my teenager to choose the two words that identify Allana Taylor and she chose warm and open-minded. Ms. Taylor really listens and works towards helping my teenager. My daughter enjoys the fact that she can meet virtually but was excited to see that Ms. Taylor has an office location. Ms. Taylor has a schedule that works well for her clients and I truly appreciate that. I am so grateful that Ms. Taylor is apart of our team to help our teenager deal with this challenging and crazy world. I look forward to my daughter continuing to work with Ms. Taylor throughout high school, college, and adulthood. Even as an adult she may need more than her family, friends, and coworkers to talk too.

She made me feel heard, and like everything I had to say was worth hearing. Asked questions that challenged me to think about things from a different perspective. And gave me the space to ask her questions as we talked. Looking forward to continuing my work with her.

This is my first therapy session with Ms. Taylor and I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders because I was able to talk freely and heard.
