My name is Taylor Smith (she/her) and I entered clinical social work because I believe in the power of relationship as a vehicle for growth and healing, and because I also believe it’s important to recognize the systems of power, control, and culture that impact our well being. I strive to be BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ allied and affirming. I value helping individuals find peace and joy in their identity.

Modalities I pull from include: Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). Teachers who guide me in this work include Tara Brach, Pixie Lighthorse, Nedra Glover Tawwab, Gabor Mate and my own therapist/healing work. An overarching goal I have for clients I work with is for them to build tolerance for the whole spectrum of emotions and learn to experience them as neutral information, or even as wisdom that leads to informed choice.

Experiences that led me down the path of clinical social work include several years of social justice work in Oregon prisons during my undergraduate studies at the University of Oregon and seven years of advocacy and peer counseling for survivors of gender-based violence. I completed my Master of Social Work (MSW) at Portland State University in 2022 and am currently a Certified Social Work Associate (CSWA) under supervision and working towards licensure. For the past year and a half I worked as a behavioral health consultant in a primary care setting addressing whole person health: mental, emotional, physical and day to day functional well being. I look forward to pulling this wider scope into practice here at Stronger Oregon.

Common labels we put on experiences that might be a good fit for my expertise include: anxiety, stress, trauma, abuse, gender affirming care, grief, attachment wounding, codependency, family members of people with addiction, boundary setting work, and life change/transitions. This is a non-exhaustive list and if my approach seems like a good fit for you, I encourage you to reach out!

I have over 10 years experience working in residential and community settings providing services to youth and their families. I draw from many modalities and adjust based on my client’s needs.

I received my Masters degree in Clinical Counseling from George Fox University in 2013. This new career path came after I had been a foster parent for several years. I have much experience with youth in foster care and their caregivers. I am certified Post Adoption and FosterCare therapist with ORPARC which has given me a strong foundation when working with this population. I also really enjoy working towards reunification goals both with the biological family and the youth as they navigate emotions especially after a long periods in care.

For younger children, I believe their language is play so will often incorporate play therapy techniques in sessions. Parent participation is strongly recommended as young people often struggle with big emotions and don’t know how to express themselves. The best way for me to teach them and incorporate better coping strategies is for them to practice at home as well.

For tweens, teens and young adults I believe developing their voice and autonomy is very important. We will navigate treatment planning and therapy goals collaboratively with parental involvement as necessary. I rely strongly on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy(DBT) for this age believing the positive effects in learning distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, emotional regulation, and mindfulness skills will benefit everyone. DBT is especially effective when treating youth experiencing suicidal ideations or self harm.

I will work with any diagnosis including but not limited to Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, ADHD, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. I am accepting of all cultures, sexual and gender orientations. I look forward to getting to know you and help you be your best self!

Hello! My approach to services is strengths-based and person centered. I truly believe that individuals are the experts in their own lives. My goal is to help you identify where you are struggling and walk alongside you as you learn new skills and discover your resilience and strengths. I believe in empowering people to help themselves by building confidence in their abilities and discovering all the wonderful things they are capable of.

I have experience working with youth and their families in both inpatient residential settings and outpatient community settings. I specialize in trauma-focused care in children and adolescents. Much of my experience has been working with individuals who have experienced trafficking, as well as youth who have run from home or are experiencing homelessness. I have also worked with BIPOC youth and those who identify with the LGBTQIA+ community. My experience also includes extensive group therapy work for a multitude of concerns including; anger management, skills for managing anxiety and depression, mindfulness, self-control, poor self-esteem and body issues, and navigating trauma symptoms.

I have had specific training conducting trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy both in person and via telehealth. My training and experience also includes incorporating holistic approaches to care and working through inter-generational and systemic trauma. I have had training in family therapy approaches and believe in creating a space for families to come together and learn to positively communicate so that they may self-create safe, secure, and healthy family systems. I also believe that one size does not fit all and I enjoy being able to incorporate things like art, movement, and music into my practice.

I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey to self-discovery!

I hold a humanistic perspective, meaning I believe that you are whole, deserving, and perfect at your core. I trust that your inherent intelligence and ability to connect to yourself can be revealed and encouraged through the therapeutic relationship that we will create together. I respect that you are the ultimate authority on your life and experience.

I practice holistic and integral psychology, taking the whole body, mind, and spirit into consideration, bringing a somatic, depth, and transpersonal approach to our work. My practice is integrative: weaving elements of ecopsychology, dreamwork, mindfulness, and body-centered expression. I also find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to be effective too. We will pay attention to “where” and “how” feelings and experiences are held within your body, and explore the deeper meanings in your life, as well as the deeper reasons behind your challenges and difficulties. I don't subscribe to the belief that there is something wrong with you, rather "what happened to you".

For therapy to work there needs to be personal accountability. While I work from a compassionate stance in helping you figure out what works for you, my style is very honest and direct, and therefore not for everyone.

I specialize in supporting people who experience chronic illnesses and invisible disabilities, neuro-toxic mental illness, chemical/mold/EMF sensitivities, and narcissistic abuse. I personally am a survivor of Lyme Disease and Mold Illness, and am here to walk this walk with you thanks to having overcome many of my own personal life challenges that has given me the empathy and understanding to be real with you.

Congrats on taking the first step of reaching out for the help you deserve.

I believe in you, and I’m excited to explore your dreams, interests, skills, strengths, values, successes, and personal uniqueness. I meet you where you’re at right now, and together we can decide what healing looks like.

We may explore mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, trauma work including psychoeducation about the effects of trauma on the body, attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and ACT.

With therapy, you get what you put in. It isn’t easy, and I’m here to show you that you’re safe in our therapeutic relationship and during the time we spend together.

Education and lived experience:

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from Georgia State University and a Master of Social Work degree from Portland State University. I’m registered with the Oregon Board of Licensed Social Workers (BLSW) as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

I agree to abide by the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics, and the Oregon BLSW Social Work Laws and Rules. I have expertise in DBT, Motivational Interviewing (MI), ADHD treatment, and trauma treatment frameworks including somatic interventions. I have a strong equity lens and continue to learn how I can best serve everyone at intersections of race, ethnicity, economic status, spirituality, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, and/or disability.

I have experience working alongside adults who face the challenges of Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, personality disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, and more. Some of my personal lived experiences that inform my approach include direct trauma and family trauma related to mental health challenges, poverty, substance use, abandonment, grief and loss, and emotional and physical abuse.

Life is like a journey through the woods. It’s easy to lose track of where you wanted to go or to get delayed by the many obstacles that appear in your path. But good support can help you make your journey through life more successful (however you define success).  You may feel completely lost and alone in the woods, want to develop a clearer vision for your future destination, be dealing with obstacles, or simply want some extra support as you prepare to take on the next leg of your journey. Wherever you are, I am here to help you find solutions and take the next steps forward.

I work with individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in addressing stress/anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, career related stress, or just coaching you on toward your best life. When in-person sessions become available, I am also able to offer aromatherapy for those who want to experience the power of essential oils to help your brain and body make positive shifts.

Prior to completing my degree in counseling from Western Seminary in 2017, I spent 15 years working in ministry using horses to help individuals and families heal and grow. I spent many years leading teams, training staff, and coaching clients to success. And in my experience, people are never one sided. We are a complex blend of heart, body, mind, and spirit. Each part interacting and impacting the others both within ourselves and with the people and environment around us. So as a counselor I want to see you go beyond surviving and to learn to THRIVE in all areas.

Over the past 13+ years I have worked everywhere from residential and intensive in-home programs to outpatient and independent living working with people of all ages and their families to help them better understand the roots of their struggles, the impact of trauma on development, and practice of strategies that help them to achieve their goals and live happier lives.

Currently, my focus is on providing individual EMDR both in person and virtually as well as family therapy through my foundations in Collaborative Problem Solving."

I am certified in Collaborative Problem Solving and have years of experience utilizing a number of other intensive, evidence-based interventions.

Regardless of approach, there is nothing more satisfying than giving kids and families the tools to succeed by whatever metric is most meaningful to them.
