Sheryl Taylor LCSW

Who I AM: I am a person who cares about others.  Who wants to help you be the best that you can be.

Here’s what you should know about me: I am a trauma survivor who received help.  It was hard work but I went on to become a therapist because someone helped me.  I want to do the same for you.

 Hi, I’m Sheryl!  I’m a psychotherapist, but you might also call me a trauma healer, rumination thought tamer, or a gifted listener. 

I help people who feel hopeless, helpless, fearful, and lost, who wish they could get their life back. I support them through the challenges of the past and present, to reach their full potential, to finally start living, to stop the negative thoughts, by us working as a team.  I believe it is all about the relationship, you feeling comfortable working with me to develop a mutual trust, respect and understanding. I help you to heal yourself.

I know from my own path to wellness that there is hope.  Trauma is not a life sentence. You can heal.  Anything is possible.  You don’t have to live with pain or anxiety.  The negative thoughts can stop.

I believe self-love, self-worth, courage, and inner peace can save the world by helping one person at a time which is you.  If you’re interested in finally getting off the carousel of life that’s been holding you back, then schedule a free consultation today.

My Credentials and other information: Therapy work: I have been a therapist since 2008 and have been working with trauma from the very beginning (both of my internships were at agencies dealing with trauma and addiction). I trained in EMDR while in school in 2007.   In 2008 I was trained in Brainspotting.  I was supervised by Dr. David Grand, founder of Brainspotting for over 5 years and he personally trained me for all of the Brainspotting levels.

Today, I am a specialist in trauma. I am certified in Brainspotting through Brainspotting International, EMDR trained, I have studied internal family systems and ego state work (inner child or parts work), and have studied thought field therapy (TFT). I recently was trained in vortex healing to enhance the mediations I do with my clients to better help them cope with their trauma.

Thank you so much for reading about me.  I am so very much looking forward to learning more about you!
