Taylor Octavio, a licensed professional counselor (MA, LPC), understands that life can often feel like a series of struggles. Many individuals find themselves grappling with the aftermath of toxic relationships, battling their sense of identity, or managing overwhelming stress, which can leave them feeling lost and uncertain about the future. Taylor believes that therapy serves as a warm and safe space to breathe amidst the chaos, validating each individual's feelings, even when they are not fully understood. Every person's story is significant, and they deserve the time and space needed to heal, grow, and thrive. As a counselor, Taylor creates an accepting and non-judgmental environment for clients to explore their emotions, work through challenging experiences, and develop effective coping strategies. Viewing the counseling relationship as a collaborative process, Taylor combines clients' self-expertise with professional mental health knowledge to help them reach their personal goals. With immense pride in their bravery for seeking help, Taylor affirms that clients are often more powerful than they realize and matter deeply, regardless of past mistakes. It is an honor for Taylor to accompany individuals on their healing journeys.
