Getting to know Shawn Taylor
Hi there, I'm Shawn.
Are you angry due to unmet needs and expectations?
Are you struggling with work/life balance in your relationships, work, and health?
Do you feel anxious and fragmented about the life narrative you're creating thus far?
Do you feel you've developed unhealthy habits and maladaptive behaviors due to underachievement?
Throughout my professional lifespan, I've interacted with various individuals?distilling the common denominator among those battling life challenges is that most are motivated at the core to find solutions for behavioral and lifestyle changes. However, most lack the logistical ?know-how? to resolve Internal Family System disorders caused by trauma, addictions, anger, and anxiety to effect permanent change within their lives. I'll help you accomplish this by drawing on my professional background spanning over 20 years as a Criminal Justice Investigator with the Houston Police Department, Career & Technology Educator with Spring ISD, and independent Mental Health Practitioner.
I earned my MA in Counseling Psychology from the Houston Graduate School of Theology in 2014 and hold an MEd in Counseling Psychology from the University of Houston. I also hold a bachelor's degree from Texas Southern University. I am licensed to practice professional therapeutic services in the State of Texas as a:
? LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor, license #73416)
? LSOTP (Licensed Sex Offender Treatment Provider, license #99449)
? LCDC (Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, license #12929)
What should a new client know about working with you?
Within our therapeutic alliance, I’ll guide, teach and counsel you to manage anxiety (depression), anger, addictions, and attachment deficits (traumas). Together we’ll identify what’s the causation and get back to balance. We’ll use a whole-self approach, addressing the needs and values of your mind, body, and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness/EMDR principles to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself with an empirical approach based on a Solution-Focused perspective, cognitive-behavioral, motivational, and neuroscience strategies. My chief aim is to help you implement self-efficacy strategies for cognitively restructuring depressive and anxious episodes, reframing traumatic situations, behavioral modification, and reducing anger that fosters internal conflict.

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.
