Taylor Pederson

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or stuck in patterns shaped by past trauma? Maybe your emotions feel intense or difficult to manage, or a recent life transition has left you feeling unsteady. You want relief and tools that truly make a difference.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with over three years of full-time experience in community mental health, supporting adults from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, and life transitions.

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns. I also integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to strengthen emotion regulation and relationship skills, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support trauma processing. Together, we’ll build practical coping tools and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

My style is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I believe you are the expert on your own life. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you’ll feel heard, supported, and challenged in ways that encourage growth.

In our first session, we’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy and clarify the changes you hope to make. I’ll also share how I work so we can ensure a good fit. If you’re ready to better understand yourself and move toward real change, I’d be honored to connect with you.
