Therapist

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.

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.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Meridian

Searching for therapists in Meridian starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare Meridian therapists, look for someone whose training and listed specialties match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

In a smaller city like Meridian, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger metro areas, so virtual therapy can help expand your search across Idaho. You may prefer in-person counseling in Meridian, or you may want the flexibility of virtual sessions that fit your schedule. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and approach to care.

Therapy in Meridian can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first visit. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready. You can browse therapists in Meridian, review bios, and choose someone who matches your needs, schedule, and coverage.
