Hi! Let me introduce myself,

I’m Taylor, a Psych Nurse Practitioner and ER travel nurse. After years in emergency and trauma medicine, I saw how deeply high-stress careers can affect mental health.

I specialize in supporting first responders and high-pressure professionals through challenges like anxiety, PTSD, and burnout. Whether you’re a first responder, emergency medicine, military, a high stress professional or just carrying a heavy plate - I’m here to help. This space is about more than just mental health - it is to help people find balance, resilience, and a stronger sense of wellness.

I am so glad you are here - T.

Hi there, I'm Dr. Nadeem, a Board Certified Psychiatrist. I was trained at Ivy League and prestigious institutions, completing my residency at Cornell University and my fellowship at Brown University. Over the years, I've cared for patients across a wide range of settings including inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison psychiatry, and more recently as a tele-health Psychiatrist. I've also had the privilege of teaching medical students along the way, which deepened my belief that truly good psychiatric care starts with truly listening.

I am licensed as a mental health counselor, and for the past 11 years I have specialized in therapy with children, adolescents, families, and couples, in addition to providing qualified supervision of registered mental health counseling interns. More recently, I served as the clinical director of an infant mental health program in Sarasota, Florida. I received my Master's of Arts in Clinical Counseling from Columbia International University, and have provided therapy for families and couples in their homes, outpatient office settings, and in my private practice.

My approach to therapy for children and parents, and couples is attachment focused. My practice is based on the belief that we all need healthy attachments to significant people in our lives, and when we are hurting, it is then that we need others most. This is why I have found this therapeutic approach to be so effective. Relationships are at the core of our humanity.
