Philosophy
As an art therapist and yoga instructor, Taylor approaches both practices with an open mind, open heart, and sense of acceptance toward all individuals. In art therapy she utilizes tenets of mindfulness, as well as a humanistic and positive psychology approach. Through these approaches, she accompanies participants as a non-judgmental, fully present, and supportive facilitator on their journey of using art-making for healing. She facilitates sessions in which clients use the creative process to make meaning of life experiences, and to consciously focus on positive qualities, resources and personal strength. In her art therapy sessions, I provide a safe space for creative exploration, self-trust, and self-love. She encourages individuals to trust their intuitive creativity and express what they need using the therapeutic art-making process.
