Tyanda Taylor, LCSW
Clinical Supervisor & Psychotherapist
Tyanda works with BIPOC clients, healthcare workers, and fellow mental health professionals navigating anxiety, anger, and addiction - with a collaborative, compassionate approach rooted in meeting you exactly where you are.
"You don't have to come into our first session with everything figured out. I'll create a space where you can be open and honest without fear of judgment, while we work together to identify your goals."
Tyanda is not currently taking on new clients. Her hand-picked colleagues share the same standard of care - meet the team and we'll match you with the right fit.
About Tyanda
Starting therapy can feel both exciting and a little uncomfortable - Tyanda wants you to know that's normal, and that the first session carries no pressure to have answers. It's a chance for her to get to know you, understand what brought you to therapy, and learn what you're hoping to change or understand better. From there, you build trust and work together at a pace that feels right for you.
Tyanda draws on a wide range of evidence-based approaches - CBT, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic and narrative work, and solutions-focused, strengths-based methods - and blends them around the person in front of her. Her specialties include anxiety, anger management, and addiction, and she brings particular care to the experiences of BIPOC clients, healthcare workers, and fellow mental health professionals.
As one of the practice's clinical supervisors, Tyanda also supports and supervises other therapists on the team - the kind of role that reflects how colleagues see her: steady, thoughtful, and generous with her insight.
How Tyanda Works
A collaborative, compassionate approach built from a broad evidence-based toolkit:
CBT & ACT
Practical, proven tools for anxiety and anger - changing the patterns, not just managing them.
Motivational Interviewing
A collaborative way through ambivalence - especially powerful in addiction recovery work.
Psychodynamic & Narrative
Understanding where the patterns began, and rewriting the story you carry about yourself.
Strengths-Based
Person-centered, solutions-focused work that starts from what's already working in you.
