Welcome ! I’m Telisa Taylor, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with advanced training in psychiatric assessment, medication management, and trauma-informed care. My background includes working with diverse populations in outpatient and community settings, which has given me a deep understanding of both complex mental health needs and everyday life stressors.
I specialize in supporting teens, adults, professionals, and parents who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, psychosis, and life transitions. My practice blends medication, therapy, and coaching to treat the whole person and create a personalized path toward stability and wellness.
Above all, clients should know that my style is warm, approachable, and relatable—and that their comfort, safety, and growth are always my top priorities.
Many of my clients come to me feeling like something is holding them back. Stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, struggling to communicate in ways that feel authentic, or searching for healthier ways to cope with life's challenges. They often describe a sense that their personal growth has stalled, even when they can't quite put their finger on why.
Becoming a licensed clinical social worker has always been a career goal. Growing up, I constantly advocated for vulnerable populations and had a deep understanding of people’s emotions. As the oldest child and daughter, understanding family dynamics, worldviews, and individual experiences came naturally. In my career, I’ve provided psychotherapy to court-ordered parents working to reunite with their children, teens in a school setting as a behavioral health therapist, and millennial individuals as a primary therapist. As a first-generation college graduate, an entrepreneur, and a businesswoman, I also understand the challenges that come with starting something from scratch and learning as you go. Sometimes, you need to speak with a relatable yet unbiased party to process your thoughts and feelings about everyday stressors that you may not feel comfortable sharing openly. I use evidence-based practices and unconventional interventions to reach clients where they are.

I earned my degree in psychology, and a gap year with Jesuit Volunteer Corps in a social justice setting led me to social work. I use a systems approach, meaning I look at the personal, family, and life factors affecting your well-being. My background in foster care, crisis work, community-based care, and therapy gives me a collaborative, well-rounded perspective.
I am a clinically trained psychotherapist practicing in NJ, NY, MA, and PA. I work with individuals, couples, and families across all ages—from children and teens to college students and busy professionals. I also have experience supporting married couples facing marital challenges.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to consider working with me. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have been in the Mental Health and Substance Use field for 21 years. I have extensive experience working with a wide range of issues. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, substance use, Men's issues, and relationship stress. I hope that we can connect and work towards removing your barriers and achieving your goals.
In a world where there is endless advice, online "experts" and seemingly easy fixes, it can be challenging to hit a roadblock and find that nothing feels quite right. Whether it is depression, anxiety, or just a general sense that something is “off”, it keeps you stuck. And you just can't figure out how to fix it. While I have no answers, I offer a place to pause, reflect, and talk about what’s been holding you back. And most importantly, what you want to happen next.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Springfield, MA
Searching for therapists in Springfield starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and major life transitions. As you compare Springfield therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and training match your needs. Their bio can also help you understand their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or another style that fits what you want to work on.
Springfield is a smaller market, so the right therapist may be nearby, in a surrounding area like West Springfield, or available for virtual sessions across Massachusetts. Some people prefer an office setting, while others choose virtual appointments because they fit more easily into work, school, or family schedules. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session format, and what to expect from the first visit.
Therapy in Springfield can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists in Springfield, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
