Jessica Taylor

I earned both my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and Master of Social Work (MSW) from California State University, Long Beach. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns, from mild and moderate challenges to severe and persistent mental illness.

My professional experience includes providing services in outpatient county mental health settings, psychiatric hospitals, and clinical call centers. In these roles, I have conducted mental health screenings, provided referrals to appropriate resources, supported individuals in crisis, and helped clients navigate complex behavioral health systems.

I am committed to creating a supportive, collaborative, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel heard and empowered. My goal is to help individuals build on their strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and work toward meaningful and lasting change.

My approach to providing therapy is primarily person-centered. Although the majority is client-centered, I do use techniques and interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused, strength-based, and solution-focused. I do have experience working with individuals who experiencing related to ADHD, Anxiety, OCD, Depression, Grief, Life Transitions, Job Stress, Career Transitions, Divorce.
