Getting to know Taylor Pinto
Welcome!
*Please note that at this time, I am only accepting virtual patients with daytime availability*
I’m a licensed psychotherapist specializing in trauma and PTSD, as well as mood and anxiety-related concerns. I have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings with individuals experiencing a range of mental health concerns. My approach to therapy is down-to-earth, interactive and collaborative. I draw from different therapeutic frameworks and tailor my approach to each client based on their developmental stage, individual needs, preferences and goals. Aside from private practice, I partner with several community-based nonprofit agencies serving children, adolescents and families involved in the foster care system, as well as survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Southern California with a clinical focus in adult mental health. I am also a doctoral candidate at the University of Pennsylvania. I am passionate about this field because it allows me to work across both micro and macro levels at the intersection of behavioral and community healthcare, policy and advocacy. I value the ability to engage in this work through psychotherapy and direct practice, while also understanding and addressing the broader systems, policies, and communities that shape lives. My own lived experience plays a significant role in how I understand and approach this work.
What should a new client know about working with you?
During our first session we will review relevant policies, expectations, procedures and your rights as a patient. We will also complete a standard assessment, which gives us an opportunity to talk about your history, current circumstances, environment and goals for treatment.
Having been a patient myself, I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting and it can be difficult to know where to begin. My role is not to be the expert on you or your life, but to work alongside you to better understand what is going on, identify what you want to change, and figure out what will actually be helpful. I also believe therapy should be collaborative. I welcome your feedback, questions, and perspective throughout the process and I want you to feel comfortable saying when something isn’t working. My goal is to build a working relationship where you can be honest, challenge things where needed, and feel like an active participant in the work we do together.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I am committed to creating an inclusive space where you can openly explore your identities, experiences, strengths, and challenges without feeling judged or having to fit into a particular mold. I recognize that everyone brings different perspectives and experiences to therapy, and I believe those differences are an important part of understanding you and the work we do together.
I work with individuals, families, and groups ages 9 and older across the lifespan. I genuinely enjoy working with people from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences and stages of life. I recognize that there is no single approach to therapy that works for everyone, so my work is shaped by your goals, circumstances, needs and preferences. I am happy to answer questions about my training, clinical background, or the therapeutic approaches that I use. I want you to have a clear understanding of who you’re working with and what to expect from this process.
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.
