I’m Ariel Taylor, LICSW, a clinical social worker who has been providing therapy in outpatient community mental health since 2022, with additional experience in clinical supervision. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, and self-esteem. I aim to provide a space where clients feel comfortable, respected, and supported as they work toward meaningful change.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I help clients better understand patterns in their thoughts, emotions, and relationships while also building practical skills they can use outside of therapy. I tailor our work to each person’s needs and goals, balancing reflection and insight with concrete steps toward change.
Clients can expect the first session to feel conversational and low-pressure. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’d like support with, and what feels most important to focus on right now. I’ll also ask some background questions so I can understand the bigger picture, but there’s no expectation that you share everything at once. By the end of the session, we’ll have a clearer sense of your goals and what working together might look like.
