Getting to know Shannan Taylor

Congratulations on taking this important step in your recovery journey. And thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me as a therapist. Choosing a therapist can be challenging (and maybe even a little anxiety provoking!).

In-network insurances

Shannan Taylor, LMFT has 150+ in-network plans.

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.

Shannan creates an emotionally safe environment where I feel comfortable to openly share things with her. She gives me room to let my thoughts flow while challenging me to think approach my thoughts + myself differently. I learn something new about myself or have a different perspective each session!
