Getting to know Dr. Patricia Taylor
As a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience and a PhD in Clinical and Developmental Psychology from the University of Maine, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals navigating various life challenges. My practice specializes in outpatient psychotherapy for depression, anxiety, grief, and identity exploration. I offer a safe, supportive space where clients can address their concerns, develop self-awareness, and work toward personal growth.
My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), motivational interviewing, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. This blend allows me to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs, whether they are dealing with chronic stress, life transitions, or seeking deeper understanding of their identity.
In addition to my work with mental health issues, I focus on areas such as infertility, foster care and adoption, sexual orientation, gender identity, and lifespan development. I provide telehealth services, making therapy accessible from the comfort of your home. My goal is to empower clients to make positive changes, achieve a greater sense of well-being, and cultivate a fulfilling life.
I am licensed in New Hampshire, New York, and can see clients in over 40 states through PsyPact. Whether you are seeking to overcome specific challenges or embark on a journey of self-discovery, I am here to support you with a collaborative, solution-focused approach. Let's work together to explore your goals and help you move forward in your healing journey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When working with me, you can expect a collaborative and supportive therapeutic relationship. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a commitment to your well-being. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and emotions.
My primary therapeutic approach integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), motivational interviewing, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. This combination allows us to address your unique needs effectively. CBT helps us identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, while ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility and aligning actions with your values. Motivational interviewing supports behavior change by enhancing your motivation and commitment, and DBT skills are used to help manage intense emotions and improve interpersonal effectiveness.
I am also trained in working with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, grief, identity exploration, and life transitions. I offer telehealth services, which means we can work together from the comfort of your home, providing you with flexibility and convenience.
My style is solution-focused and process-oriented, aiming to equip you with practical tools and strategies that foster self-awareness and personal growth. I emphasize the importance of a strong therapeutic alliance and tailor our sessions to fit your goals and preferences. Whether you are seeking to navigate specific challenges or engage in deeper self-exploration, my goal is to support you in making meaningful progress and achieving a more fulfilling life.
Before our sessions begin, I encourage you to share your expectations and any concerns you may have. This will help us work together effectively and ensure that our time is used in the most beneficial way. I am here to listen, support, and guide you on your journey toward healing and growth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My typical process for working with clients begins with an initial assessment to understand your background, current concerns, and therapeutic goals. During this first session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, explore your personal history, and identify the specific issues you want to address. This helps us establish a foundation for our work together and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
In subsequent sessions, we typically start with a review of what’s been happening in your life since our last meeting, including any challenges or successes. This helps us track your progress and adjust our focus as needed.
We then delve into the core issues you are facing, using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to explore and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. We may also incorporate acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you develop psychological flexibility and align your actions with your values. Motivational interviewing may be used to enhance your motivation for change, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills can assist in managing emotions and improving interpersonal relationships.
Throughout our sessions, I emphasize a collaborative and solution-focused approach. We work together to set realistic goals, develop practical strategies, and build coping skills. My aim is to provide you with the tools and insights needed to address your concerns and make meaningful changes in your life.
At the end of each session, we will review the progress made and plan any homework or exercises to work on before our next meeting. This might include practicing new skills, reflecting on our discussions, or applying strategies in real-life situations.
My goal is to ensure that each session is productive and supportive. I encourage open communication and feedback throughout our work together, so we can continuously adapt our approach to best support your needs.
