Hello! I’m Arlicia Taylor, a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for helping individuals achieve their best mental and emotional well-being.

I hold a Master's of Science from North Carolina A & T State University, where I specialized in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

I specialize in women issues, anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, etc. My approach is client-centered and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I began my professional career as an engineer before transitioning into mental health work, driven by a deep desire to help people navigate change, build insight, and feel more at ease with themselves.

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

I am a firm believer that life–even the best of lives– has moments of pain and suffering; however great or small. Some come to pass quickly and float away from our consciousness, while others stay with us, shape us, change our relationships and the way we see the world. The rest of our life is filled with moments dependent on how we cope with, process and accept those moments of pain or suffering.

I am a tenured psychotherapist who has been licensed for 19+ years, and I have experience in a variety of behavioral and mental health settings. I have been trained in many modalities of psychotherapy, and my passion is to see people heal by connecting them with their own strengths and natural abilities to achieve the goals they set for themselves.

I am a bilingual English/Spanish Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C), and Infant Mental Health Endorsed (IMH-E®). I provide virtual therapy throughout Texas for children and teens ages 6–18, adults, and parents. I especially support individuals navigating ADHD and attention challenges, pregnancy and postpartum changes, infertility and fertility treatments, NICU experiences, parenting stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a space where you can feel heard, understood, supported, and never judged. Sometimes therapy is about finding solutions and building new tools, and sometimes it is simply about having a safe place to talk, process, and feel supported.

I'm glad you stopped by to find out more about my offerings. I specialize in the treatment of women ages 25 & up dealing with challenges such as:

chronic pain

chronic illness

• life transitions
• people-pleasing tendencies
• procrastination
• avoidance
• perfectionism and/or not feeling like enough
• a harsh inner-critic
• relationship issues
• family related issues

I offer talk therapy, art therapy or a combination of both. I am EMDR trained and use DBT, CBT and mindfulness in my work.

I believe that healing happens within a safe, supportive, and authentic therapeutic relationship. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and culturally responsive, recognizing that each person brings unique experiences, strengths, and challenges into the counseling process. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds, helping clients navigate concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and stress management.

My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental while also providing practical tools and strategies to support meaningful growth. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and trauma-informed practices, tailoring treatment to meet each client's individual needs and goals.

One of my strengths is creating a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I am passionate about helping individuals identify their strengths, develop healthier coping skills, improve relationships, and build resilience. Whether you are facing a difficult life challenge or seeking personal growth, I am committed to walking alongside you as you work toward healing, balance, and lasting change.

I help overwhelmed young adults and Millennial professionals who struggle with anxiety, stress, and self-doubt. Does overthinking affect your day-to-day life or cause problems in relationships? Do you feel like you're the one that everyone comes to for help, but you have a hard time getting help for yourself? You're ambitious but you wonder if a balanced life is achievable. Now, more than ever, people are overwhelmed with juggling responsibilities, relationships, careers, and trying to find their place in life; but there is hope.

I became a therapist to be safe space for people who didn't feel like they had one. I earned my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy so I could be equipped to help couples navigate their struggles and be that safe space for anyone who needed it. No one should feel like they have to do life alone.
