Meet Taegan

The foundation of my approach to therapy is built on the deeply held belief that we already have the innate capacity to heal. Sometimes all we need is to sit across from someone who can cultivate a safe, compassionate space to reconnect with our most authentic and wholehearted self.
I am passionate about helping clients reengage in their lives from a place of authenticity and strength. Together, we will cultivate a greater capacity to practice self-compassion, courage, and acceptance. My hope is to support you in cultivating more meaningful connection, reconnecting with a sense of meaning and purpose, and living braver with your life. I use warmth, compassion, and gentle directness in my approach. I take a collaborative approach to therapy, which means we will decide together the goals and direction you wish to take. I enjoy working with diverse clientele and I strive to provide culturally competent and sensitive care by living the value of cultural humility and regularly pursuing continued education. I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+ community, helping / medical / education professionals, and emerging adults. I began my career working with nationally recognized experts at The Meadows, a renowned inpatient center specializing in trauma and addiction recovery. There, I worked with clients struggling with substance use, combat-related trauma, moral injury, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, and family of origin issues. Following my time at the Meadows, I spent a few years as a Counselor at Arizona State University Counseling Services as Senior Staff. I had the pleasure of working with the largest and most diverse student body in the U.S. providing crisis response, brief therapy, and facilitating group therapy. |
