Dr. Yemmy Taylor

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. As a clinical psychologist, I work with adults and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, anger, relationship challenges, and other concerns that may be affecting their daily lives and overall well-being.

I provide a warm, compassionate space where we can explore what may be contributing to your current challenges and work together toward meaningful and lasting change. My work includes sex therapy with individuals and couples, with attention to intimacy, communication, sexual well-being, and building deeper connection in relationships.

I am also interested in helping clients better understand their identity and the experiences that have shaped who they are. Together, we may explore the impact of family relationships, parenting styles, intergenerational trauma, and other life experiences on emotional well-being, relationships, and patterns of behavior.

I believe that greater awareness can create opportunities for healing and change. Whether you are seeking support as an individual or as a couple, family, my goal is to help you gain insight, build on your strengths, and move toward a life and relationships that feel more fulfilling and authentic.

My approach begins with understanding you as a whole person rather than simply focusing on symptoms or a diagnosis. Through psychotherapy, we will explore the thoughts, emotions, life experiences, relationships, and patterns that may be contributing to the challenges you are facing.

I also recognize the important connection between the mind and body. When appropriate, my approach may include consideration of psychophysiological and biological factors that can influence emotional and psychological well-being, including stress physiology, sleep, and hormonal functioning, and other factors that may affect mood, energy, cognition, and overall functioning. When indicated, I may recommend or coordinate with appropriate medical professionals for further evaluation of biological or physiological concerns.

Psychological assessments may also be used, when appropriate, to develop a clearer understanding of your concerns and help identify the most effective ways to support you. Together, we will identify your goals and work toward greater self-awareness, healthier ways of coping, and practical strategies that can be integrated into your everyday life

Our first session is an opportunity for me to learn more about you, your experiences, and what led you to seek therapy at this point in your life. We’ll discuss the concerns you’ve been experiencing, how they have been affecting your daily life and relationships, relevant aspects of your personal and family history, and what you hope will be different as a result of therapy.

I’ll also answer any questions you have about therapy, my approach, confidentiality, and what you can expect from our work together. From there, we’ll begin identifying your goals and developing a direction for therapy that feels supportive, collaborative, and appropriate for your individual needs.
