ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in New Bedford, MA

Choosing a psychiatric provider is a personal decision, and I approach that with care. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in adult mental health, I focus on understanding you as a whole person and creating a treatment plan that fits your life.

I have worked with diverse populations and often see how anxiety, trauma, stress, and executive dysfunction can interfere with work, relationships, and overall well being. I treat adults with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and substance use concerns, with experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, including complex cases. I especially enjoy working with college students, professionals, and business leaders who are balancing demanding schedules and high expectations. I also collaborate with caregivers and other professionals to ensure well rounded care.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with experience in both outpatient and inpatient settings, providing comprehensive mental health care across diverse populations. My background includes extensive work in behavioral health emergency settings, partial hospitalizations, IOP, recovery care, community psychiatric care. I also have experience supporting dually diagnosed patients with co-occurring medical conditions, giving me a broad perspective on the complex interplay between mental and physical health.

I earned my PMHNP degree from Post University and hold PMHNP licensure in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to evidence-based care, while continuously seeking opportunities for professional development and growth in the mental health field.

Hi, I’m Taylor—I’m a therapist who believes therapy should feel like a place where you can breathe and be yourself. Clients often tell me they open up with me about things they’ve never shared before. I’m warm, friendly, a good listener, and always real. If you’ve ever felt like you had to hold everything in or pretend you’re “fine,” this is a space where you don’t have to do that.

I primarily work with adults (18+), and I specialize in Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Trauma, PTSD, Mood Disorders, ADD/ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and Personality Disorders. I also support people who are navigating identity, self-discovery, emotional overwhelm, and rebuilding life after difficult or painful chapters.

I do Individual, Couples, Family, and Group Therapy. I currently facilitate a Bereavement Group which meets at my Brookline office every Saturday from 2-4pm. I also run groups for substance abuse, depression and anxiety. In addition, I have a lot of experience counseling children of all ages. I am a firm believer in strength-based psychotherapy.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel aligned with who you are. Many of my clients are insightful, sensitive, and capable, yet struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment wounds, ADHD, or relationship challenges. You may be used to caring for others, masking your needs, or pushing through instead of feeling supported. You’re looking for therapy that feels safe, real, and validating — not judgmental or distant — and you want to better understand yourself, your emotions, and your relationships.

I offer relational, trauma-informed therapy grounded in attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches. I work collaboratively to help clients understand emotional and relational patterns, regulate their nervous systems, and build self-trust and healthier connections. My practice is affirming of neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ identities.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical. I offer a supportive, honest, and affirming space where you don’t have to mask or explain yourself. Whether you’re navigating trauma, relationships, identity, or emotional overwhelm, you deserve therapy that feels human, safe, and respectful of who you are.

If you are feeling lost, confused, and unhappy with the direction life is going, let's work together to address what is holding you back. "Finding My Potential" is something you are seeking; then let's work on ways to cope with challenging thoughts, identify skills you can use to move forward, look holistically at habits/lifestyle, and develop a road map that gets you on the path you were meant for. It is important to note that this approach is based on a treatment session connected to techniques and actions you will do between sessions. I look forward to working with you.

I have a broad background in therapy, having managed and worked as a therapist in a variety of services. As an individual therapist, I have done the most work with teenagers, children, and young adults. I have provided individual counseling to adults, families, and couples. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, with a commitment to outcomes.
