LGBT therapists in Justin, TX

I bring a grounded, human approach to therapy shaped by a background in research psychology, a Humanist philosophy, and many years of life experience. Clients often appreciate that I show up as a real person: warm, thoughtful, and down-to-earth. You could say I’m an old hippie at heart, and I see that as part of what helps people feel comfortable, understood, and accepted.

Hello! I have a Masters of Education in Counseling and Human Development and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2002, with Supervisory status (2020). I am also a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) and have been since 1993. I am dedicated to fostering peace, respect, and healing within individuals and families. I am nurturing, patient and non-judgmental to help create a supportive environment where challenges can be addressed. I am a vocal advocate for children, teenagers, and adults. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals, RTC's, with TYC, private practice (all ages for individuals and families) and MHMR (focus on crisis counseling for children and teenagers). Trauma, depression, anxiety, crisis, and grief are some of my speciality areas.

It's easy to feel stuck in life with limited support. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in private practice and inpatient settings, I strive to make my clients seen and heard for who they are.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I specialize in helping adults, women, veterans, BIPOC, and military families navigate the emotional weight of anxiety, trauma, and burnout. My approach is warm, direct, and deeply collaborative — I believe therapy should feel like a safe conversation with someone who truly gets it.

I use evidence-based modalities such as🧠 Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-CBT); 🧘 Mindfulness and Acceptance-Based Therapies (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-ACT); and ❤️ Relationship and Family Therapies (Family Systems Therapy). My desire is to help clients begin to heal at the root, not just manage symptoms. Together, we’ll uncover the patterns keeping you stuck and gently shift the beliefs that no longer serve you. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally free — not just in therapy, but in your everyday life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or stuck in unhelpful patterns that you can’t seem to break? You're not alone—and you don't have to navigate things by yourself.

My name is Shardé Taylor; I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor at Taylored Therapy Solutions, PLLC. I work with individuals ages 13 and up who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, poor body image, OCD, relationship or marital issues, and school or work-related stress. I am a true LGBTQ+ ally and advocate. My Headway calendar is for consultations only.
