Hi, I’m Taylor Berntson.
My practice is underpinned by a belief that we are all doing the best we can with what we have at any given time. Studies show that the more stress we are under, the less emotional bandwidth and cognitive capacity we have. To truly know ourselves and accept ourselves as we are is the greatest gift we can give to ourselves and our loved ones - it is the most impactful work we can offer future generations. A healed mind is transformative.
Society has taught us to hide our true selves, to neglect our true feelings, and to prioritize others' views over our own to be accepted, when the only true acceptance we need comes from within. I will help you learn about and embrace your authentic self, and I commit to being my true self, too - without judgment, filters, or societal expectations (sorry in advance for an inevitable bad joke or two).
Whether you’re looking to heal from your past, develop healthier relationships, or find more peace in your present, I’m here to support you in embracing your innate resilience. I specialize in attachment issues, childhood trauma, and life transitions, and have extensive experience working with young adults. Using a variety of approaches, I'll help you process both your past and present, develop healthy boundaries with yourself and others, and above all, gain self-compassion and insight. Together, we will cultivate an empathic understanding of yourself and identify a path toward healing and accepting yourself, as you are.
