About

My name is Taylor Garff (he/him), and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I have had the honor of working as a mental health professional for eight years. My approach to counseling is person-centered, which means that you will be treated with warmth, empathy, positive regard, and non-judgment. In my collaborative approach, I enjoy incorporating other modalities such as solution-focused brief therapy in finding what works best for you in my collaborative approach. My goals with Find A Therapist are to provide ethical, empathetic, and personalized care.

Throughout our time together, I will emphasize wellness and strengths to assist in building your foundation for change. I believe that all people have the power to change for the better and that sometimes that power needs a safe space to flourish. Together we will explore what’s bothering you, empower yourself to make changes in your life, and learn what works best for you as coping skills. I don't have all of the answers, and we can work together to find them!

I am passionate about helping others through various concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting, career difficulties, stress, gender dysphoria, relationship issues, grief and loss, people who have lost loved ones to suicide, self-esteem, and life transitions. I offer strategies from HeartMath, a program focused on finding balance and inner peace. I also provide written exposure therapy, an effective but gentler version of more intense trauma therapies.

Psychotherapy involves a large commitment of time, money, and energy, so you should be mindful of the services you select. For psychotherapy to be most successful, you will be encouraged to actively work on things talked about, both during sessions and at home. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to address them as they arise.
