About Dr. Colleen Taylor
Thank you for taking the time to learn about me and my practice. I am a licensed psychologist with an established private practice helping individuals and couples in Atlanta for over 35 years.
I graduated from Carleton College with a B.A. degree in psychology and earned my Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Alabama. I am married with two grown children.
While I have a general practice, I also specialize in working with depression and anxiety, relationship problems and marital therapy, wellness enhancement/stress management, sexual addiction, and sexual dysfunction.
Help You Can Trust
The foundation of my practice—both clinically and professionally—is built upon integrity and mutual respect.
Guided by these core values, I work to establish a relationship with clients that is respectful of their needs. The therapy environment is designed to be warm, comfortable and confidential. As your therapist I share with you the resources of my extensive experience, specialized training, and effective, reliable methods for change.
Open and Direct
During our initial appointment, our primary focus will be clarifying your specific needs and setting realistic, personalized goals. If we determine that psychotherapy is the right path forward, your ongoing input regarding the pace and direction of our sessions will be key to your accomplishing your therapy objectives.
My ultimate goal is to help you cultivate your inner strength, enabling you to confidently dismantle barriers that stand between you, your emotional well-being, and your overall life satisfaction.
Therapy Style
My clinical background includes comprehensive training in a diverse range of therapeutic modalities, allowing me to tailor my approach to the unique challenge of each individual and couple I treat. My practice is grounded in scientifically developed, evidence-based frameworks, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), relational therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, and the Gottman Method.
For the majority of my clients, I find that the most effective catalyst for healing and lasting change involves a dual approach. First, we work together to identify unhealthy patterns and understand how and why they became established. Simultaneously, we focus on implementing practical, present-day behavioral changes that align with your core values and true feelings.
Throughout this journey, I provide warm, compassionate guidance and clear direction to support you through every stage of healing and change.
