Hello! I’m Arlicia Taylor, a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for helping individuals achieve their best mental and emotional well-being.
I hold a Master's of Science from North Carolina A & T State University, where I specialized in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
I specialize in women issues, anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, etc. My approach is client-centered and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.
Hi, I’m Zayle—a licensed professional counselor with a passion for helping people navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and purpose.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent eight years as an elementary teacher, which taught me the value of patience, connection, and meeting people where they are. Now, as a counselor, I work with individuals of all ages—from children to older adults—helping them find clarity, healing, and confidence in themselves.
I specialize in supporting people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and women’s issues. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply not like yourself lately, my goal is to walk alongside you with empathy and encouragement. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way of your peace and work toward creating a life that feels more manageable, balanced, and fulfilling.
My approach is centered around you. I believe therapy should be a safe, nonjudgmental space where your voice is heard and respected. I’ll offer guidance and support at your pace, helping you gain tools that fit your life, not just a textbook.
If you’re ready to start feeling more grounded, hopeful, and empowered, I’m here to help you take that first step.

Therapy is self-care. I want my client's therapeutic experience to be the best one possible as I know they are using the small amount of time they have to work on themselves. I am the therapist I would want for myself. I am collaborative, knowledgeable, I help simplify the complicated, put words to experiences, feelings, and thoughts, and guide clients in what to do with their findings. I am the therapist you do "the work" with.
I help adults who feel stuck in anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief find steadier ground and move forward with more clarity and confidence. With over 20 years of experience, I support adults through life transitions, loss, and emotional pain that can feel hard to carry alone. I’m especially passionate about helping women navigate motherhood, identity shifts, and grief. I offer sessions in English and Spanish.
So much of my work is rooted in one question: what happens when we stop trusting ourselves? For me, that question became very personal.
After the birth of my first child, I found myself carrying not only physical pain but a deep sense of disconnection. I was listening to every voice but my own — questioning my body, my instincts, my inner wisdom. It was disorienting in a way I hadn't expected.
With my second child, something shifted. The experience felt empowering, attuned, and deeply mine. I listened inward. I trusted my body. And I witnessed firsthand just how intelligent and wise the body truly is when we feel safe enough to connect with it.
That journey brought me back to something foundational — the body knows. Our minds and bodies are constantly communicating with us. But life has a way of teaching us to override those signals. Trauma, stress, cultural conditioning, the pressure to hold it all together — they all teach us to ignore our inner knowing. Healing, I believe, is often about learning to listen again. It's a homecoming.
As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management. I specialize in adults/ college students struggling with mood instability, women’s mental health, including pregnancy and postpartum. As well as working with families navigating schizophrenia and or mood disorders. I believe healing begins when the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—is nurtured. My approach goes beyond medication alone, blending evidence-based psychiatric treatment with lifestyle and wellness strategies designed to restore balance and promote lasting emotional well-being.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Austin
Finding a postpartum therapist in Austin starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety are among the most common concerns, but perinatal mental health care also covers mood changes during pregnancy, difficulty bonding, intrusive thoughts, and adjustment to parenthood. A licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — with experience in perinatal mental health can help you determine the right approach, whether that includes talk therapy, medication management, or both.
Austin has a strong network of postpartum mental health providers practicing across the city, from North Austin and Cedar Park to South Austin and the surrounding metro area. When narrowing your options, consider whether you prefer virtual or in-person sessions, what therapy approach feels right for you, and whether a provider's availability fits your schedule. Reading a provider's bio before booking can give you a sense of their style and areas of focus.
Therapy in Austin can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to find a postpartum therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
