Claire Taylor

pre-licensed

My goal in therapy is to create a space where you feel accepted exactly as you are. I believe meaningful growth begins with feeling safe, heard, and understood.


I am a pre-licensed clinician with a Master of Science in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northern Illinois University. I support children, teens, and adults as they navigate life’s challenges. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and LGBTQ-affirming. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, mindfulness, and play therapy, I adapt my approach to fit you or your child’s strengths, needs, and goals.



I am passionate about helping people of all ages go from surviving to thriving. Together, we can build on your strengths, develop coping skills, and create lasting change while honoring where you are today.
