Bernadette Taggart, LCSW

Psychotherapist
FL
Hi, I'm Bernadette — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should feel safe, supportive, and genuinely helpful. My style is warm, down‑to‑earth, and collaborative. I'm the kind of therapist who listens closely, asks thoughtful questions, and gives you practical tools you can use in real life. I'm not here to judge or lecture; I'm here to walk alongside you as you learn, grow, and build the confidence to navigate life's challenges.\n\nClients often tell me they feel comfortable with me quickly because I'm approachable, honest, and easy to talk to. I bring a balance of compassion and structure to every session. You'll always know you have a space where your feelings matter, your experiences are respected, and your goals guide our work.\n\nMy background includes extensive training in trauma‑informed care, CBT, DBT, and family‑systems approaches. I support children, teens, adults, couples, and families who are navigating anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, relationship stress, low self‑esteem, or major life transitions. I also have a strong passion for working with neurodivergent clients and families, offering an affirming space where strengths are recognized and supported.\n\nMy own life experiences — growing up in a close family, learning the importance of communication, and navigating my own seasons of growth — shape the way I show up as a therapist. I understand what it feels like to carry a lot, to want to do well, and to feel overwhelmed by expectations. That's why I focus on helping clients build emotional clarity, healthier patterns, and practical coping skills that truly make a difference.\n\nWhether you're seeking support for yourself or your family, my goal is to help you feel grounded, capable, and supported as you work toward meaningful, lasting change.

In-network insurances

Bernadette Taggart, LCSW has +30 in-network plans.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

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.
