Getting to know Karen Ross Taylor

I admire your strength in reaching out and seeking help. Our culture tends to emphasize individualism, but I believe in the power and progress that can be made with interdependence and collaboration. I endeavor to individualize support and treatment for each client's unique needs. I welcome you to reach out whenever you are ready to begin. I’m here to provide a supportive environment where you can be yourself. My approach I use integrative approaches since therapy isn't one type fits all - including focus on somatic approaches, mindfulness, solutions/problem solving, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), and coping skills. I allow the client to direct the therapy process because, after all- it's about YOU! My focus My clients ideally will be active participants in the treatment process, be open to trying experiments between sessions, and be willing to invest in themselves through small but sustainable changes. My communication style I am often described as open-minded, flexible, and warm. I like to find out what resonates or "clicks" with each client because that is the direction we will head together. We will work collaboratively on priorities that align with your values because that is where strength and courage are found. My journey to mental healthcare When I first got my master's degree, I sought work at a local nursing home as a social worker. I changed my residence a few times, which usually prompted me to find a different workplace closer to home. All in all, I worked at about 5 different nursing/rehabilitation centers and retirement communities over about a 15-year period. I found the relationships I formed with residents to be the most rewarding aspect of the work. Additionally, I have some inpatient psychiatric social work experience, but found that to be very fast paced, which didn't allow time for much relationship building.
