Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Taylor Mefford (he/they)! I'm a mental health counselor in New York. In addition to mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, I specialize in grief and medical trauma; I am also trained to provide EMDR. I work with adolescents and adults 16 to 85 years old and have particular expertise working with LGBTQ+ clients and students (both undergraduate and graduate).

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is based in the belief that we are naturally drawn to healing, and my role in your life is to help invite those parts of yourself that will promote that healing. I emphasize a style of therapy that encourages both of us to ask questions and make observations, often focusing on how traumatic experiences change the way we see ourselves and the world around us.

What you can expect from me

Clients who work with me are typically looking for an opportunity to explore their past experiences in a way that helps them to better understand their present and make choices that lead to a brighter future. If you're ready to get started on this shared journey of understanding, feel free to schedule a consultation call by selecting a time on the right. I look forward to meeting you!
