About Taylor Allen

Taylor Allen is a Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern (soon-to-be licensed…12/25 ). She has experience working with adults, teens, children, and families through a variety of challenges. Taylor brings her natural qualities of joy, love, compassion, and fun which she then seamlessly weaves into her therapeutic interventions. She earned her Master’s in Counseling through Liberty University. Before becoming a Therapist, Taylor worked as a Psychiatric Registered Nurse at Childrens of Alabama, Vanderbilt University Medical, and Sarasota Memorial Hospital. This experience informs her view of more acute psychiatric and mental health and provides her with a wealth of knowledge about psychiatric medications.

Her practice has included skills and interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Therapy, and Play Therapy. Having a knowledge base on each of these allows her to tailor (pun intended) specific interventions to the individual she is working with. Taylor has specific experience with the diagnoses of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Acute Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. 

Taylor is fully trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy and utilizes this as a modality to treat trauma and anxiety in adults, teens, and children. Additionally, she has specific training on utilizing role-playing games in therapy to build social and emotional skills and hosts a D&D Therapy group with teenagers. She also works with many young children and their parents on emotional regulation skills using various methods of theraputic play. 


Outside of her professional life, she is married and loves to sail and travel with her husband. She loves a hot cup of coffee or tea and creating things. One of her favorite quotes is "People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be.. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, 'Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner.' I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds." -Carl Rogers
