Getting to know Paula Taylor

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Central Texas, with over 16 years of experience working with individuals, families, and groups in the areas of psychosis, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, grief, and trauma. My approach is to support and assist my clients as we explore better ways to move forward in life, despite the obstacles they face. I am passionate about creating an environment of acceptance so that my clients feel comfortable sharing their unique stories. I use my training, education, and experience to empower and instill hope. My approach My approach is person-centered and contextual. It is very important that I am able to get to know you in your unique context. Treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapies, which are helpful in identifying patterns of behavior that may be blocking paths to success. Solution-focused therapy can aid in the development of a clear picture of what success might look like, along with a path to achieving it. Existential Therapy is foundational in my work with clients who want to explore and process anxious feelings around the end stages of life. My focus While I have worked in the past with women’s groups and with those living with serious mental health concerns, over the past few years, my main focus group has been seniors living with chronic illness. As they transition from a more active life, some of the issues they face are regrets, fractured relationships, pain concerns, loneliness, grief, and trauma. I hope to continue to work with individuals and families who may be dealing with similar issues in their lives. My communication style I am purposeful about building strong therapeutic relationships with my clients. I am also sensitive to the idea of making space for the client to feel safe enough to tell their story. Open-ended questions and active listening help in this area.
