Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Meridian, ID covered by Aetna

Hi, I’m Taylor Garff, a licensed therapist and the founder of Inner Heart Therapy. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, and identity, especially folks in the LGBTQ+ community or anyone feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands.

I’m someone who believes therapy should feel like a soft place to land, not another thing you have to “get right.” My clients tell me they appreciate my warmth, humor, and ability to hold space for both the hard stuff and the hope. I’ll meet you with curiosity, compassion, and no pressure to be anything other than fully human.

In our work together, we might explore your anxious thoughts, practice ways to feel safer and more grounded in your body, or untangle patterns that keep you stuck. I use a mix of tools, like cognitive-behavioral therapy, nervous system regulation, and the Safe and Sound Protocol, to support you in finding more ease, clarity, and connection in your life.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to explain or defend your experiences, I want you to know you won’t have to do that here. This is a space where all of you is welcome.

I earned a Masters degree from Northwest Nazarene University in clinical counseling in 2014. I am currently licensed in the state of Idaho and Montana. I have been licensed for many years and participated in many trainings for clinical practice including but not limited to Christian counseling, Rogerian therapy, trauma therapy, grief/loss, addiction (Social media, gambling, sexual, food, etc.), anxiety (general and specific), personality disorders, depression, relationship challenges, neuroscience, adoption and/or attachment, equine therapy, play therapy, family therapy and experiential therapy. I have been a TBRI® Practitioner since 2015 and TBRI® Educator since 2017 working with families with kids from hard places. I am trained in clinical supervision and clinical ethics as well. I am trained in the use of neurofeedback equipment including brain mapping and brain training sessions since 2021, and have been Board Certified through BCIA since 2025.

No matter how long you have struggled, or how stuck you feel, you CAN heal and grow...I believe that; and I will help you believe that, as we work together. I work with people of all ages who struggle with a wide range of issues including, but not limited to anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and interpersonal issues. You will be in a safe, empathic, and non-judgmental space with me, as we do healing and transformative work, and I would be honored to help empower you to move forward.

Just a heads up—I’m in the Mountain Time Zone, which runs one hour ahead of Arizona until the fall. For example, if you see a 2:00 time slot available, that would be 1:00 Arizona time.

After battling addiction for 30 years, my own recovery journey inspired me to become a therapist. With 14 1/2 years of sobriety, I bring both personal insight and professional expertise to the work I do. While my initial focus was supporting individuals struggling with substance use and co-occurring disorders, my practice has since expanded to include helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, anger, ADHD, OCD, low self-esteem, boundary-setting, relationship challenges, codependency, and more.

I am deeply committed to walking alongside others on their path to healing, believing that with determination and the right support, meaningful change is always possible. My approach is rooted in empathy, connection, and ongoing growth—I continuously pursue education and training to stay current with the most effective practices in the field. Outside of my work, I enjoy mindfulness, exercise, spending time outdoors, and staying connected with family and friends. My passion for this work shines through in every client interaction, and I strive to be a source of hope, encouragement, and resilience for those I serve.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Idaho with a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Sofia University, where I specialized in Transpersonal Psychology. My clinical background includes extensive work in outpatient and residential treatment settings, as well as private practice telehealth care.

Many of the clients I support are looking not only to reduce distress, but also to better understand themselves, improve emotional regulation, and create a more grounded and meaningful life.

I provide care through a structured, ethical, and collaborative lens, with a strong focus on clinical clarity, treatment planning, and measurable progress.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying the weight of anxiety, difficult relationships, or painful experiences from the past. You may find yourself putting others first, struggling with boundaries, or feeling stuck in patterns you can't seem to change. I work with adults who are ready to better understand themselves, heal from past experiences, and create healthier relationships. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and help you move toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and authentic.

Hi there! I'm Jess- a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, military wife, and mom of two toddlers. I have over a decade of experience supporting women through anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions, including motherhood. My background spans schools, community mental health, substance abuse treatment centers, and child welfare.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck or just plain tired of trying to figure everything out on your own. Maybe anxiety keeps you up at night, or depression makes it hard to find the motivation to get through your day. Perhaps ADHD has you juggling a million things at once, but nothing feels like it's getting done. Maybe you're in the midst of a big change; a new role, shifting family dynamics, or health challenges and you're not sure how to navigate it all. I want you to know that you don't have to do it alone. Life doesn't always go as planned, and sometimes it can feel overwhelming to carry. We can find a way forward together.
