To commune is to share resources and responsibilities in an intimate way and interchange ideas and sentiments to promote emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. I, Tay-Lor Smith, am the founder of Commune With and would like to welcome you to beginning your wellness journey. To start your journey, I would like to formally introduce myself and provide you with a little background regarding myself and my professional experience.

I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Virginia and Maryland and am a certified clinical trauma professional. I have worked in the counseling profession for eight years in the public and private sectors. I practice from an integrated approach, using cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and trauma-informed care. My areas of interest are mood disorders, adjustment disorders and concerns, personality disorders, stress and stress management, and relationship issues.

I provide tele-mental health services to children and adults, ensuring the three C’s: confidentiality, convenience, and comfort in one setting. My approach to therapy is to serve as a guide to my clients by assisting them in processing and addressing life’s problems. I am a believer in curating individualized solutions to increase growth and mental health wellness within each person’s life. I will serve as an unbiased listener who is present and available to motivate, challenge, guide, and provide resources to ensure the best care. But most importantly, we will laugh and celebrate all small and large steps towards your personal goals.

We cannot change the beginning of our story, but we can start where you are and change the ending through empowerment. Congratulations on taking the first steps to health and wellness. I look forward to assisting you through this journey and we commune on this life process together.
