I have been working as a therapist to help clients find healing and gain understanding in themselves since 2016.

I hold a Body Acceptance Group for Women where clients work towards overcoming body shame, learn to nourish and heal their relationship with their body, and start living an empowered life.

Other areas of focus in my work are on adult family relationships, trauma, healing from sexual assault or abuse, and anxiety.

Therapist

Let's stop the anxiety spiral together! I I work with adolescents and adults. Drop your mask in here and learn to stop apologizing for who you truly are. Feel more comfortables in situations and stop spiraling using practical tools. It's time to stop feeling ashamed how how you think things should be! Anxiety, Trauma, ADHD and creative burnout can be overwhelming. Perhaps your brain won't turn off at night, decision-making feels impossible, or even basic tasks drain your energy. Especially when they show up in every part of life; work, your relationships, kids or parenting. That's okay. We can work with your brain and body.

Taylor McAvoy

Taylor McAvoy

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


Hi there! My name is Taylor and I believe that therapy should be accessible for people of all backgrounds. I work to provide my clients with a healing space through person-centered, trauma-informed, narrative and feminist approaches.

I studied clinical mental health counseling at Northwest University in Kirkland, Washington and while in school my practicum was through LifeWire in Bellevue serving as a shelter and advocacy agency for survivors of Intimate Partner Violence.

I gained 3 years of experience as an associate counselor working with a group private practice serving children and teens. I have a developed understanding of unique challenges faced across lifespan development and the intersections of those developmental themes with marginalized identities.

I now have two years post-associate experience for a total of 5 years experience. I specialize in treating young adults and teens although I work well with all ages. My areas of focus are anxiety, trauma, LGBTQIA+ identity issues, women's issues, major life transitions, and relationships.

I believe that creative spaces are healing spaces and often foster creativity during sessions as needed for the client.
