About Melissa Taylor

I am licensed in California with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, bipolar disorder, & depression. My intention is to help you discover what is right with you not what is wrong with you. My approach is holistic, focusing on the mind and body. Through a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness I help you move toward your goals. My work is gentle and compassionate, meeting you where you are. If you desire change and healing in areas of your life, it would be a privilege to work together.
