My journey into being a mental healthcare provider started at a young age. I remember being ten years old asking my father from the back seat of our station wagon, “How come people think the way they think?” After dedicating my college and graduate careers to trying to answer that question, I have some good explanations for my younger self. I have supported clients through a variety of challenges in my career, starting as a clinical case manager in 2016 and transitioning into private practice therapy in 2021. My different roles have allowed me to amass a multitude of tools and strategies to help my clients navigate whatever life may throw at them.

As an eclectic therapist, I draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, positive psychology, and strengths-based therapy to help you build a personalized toolbox that works for your current needs and your long-term goals. So much life can happen between weekly sessions, and I want to ensure that you can utilize the insights from our meetings to benefit you in the real world.

I know how uncomfortable it can be to open up to a new person. My aim is to create a trusting relationship where you feel not only comfortable but also truly understood. Sometimes that looks like talking about a new book you’re reading or what’s been going on at work first, and getting into deeper topics a little later. I let you open up at your own pace while working towards your goals in approachable steps.

My favorite poet, Andrea Gibson, said it best,

“I think we are all part fight the flight
Part run for your life
Part ‘please please please like me’
Part Can’t breathe
Part scared to say you’re scared
Part say it anyway…
You belong here and everything you feel is okay.
Everything you feel is okay.”

I started visiting the wellness group a few years ago when I was really at a low point. Looking back, I didn’t even know who I was! Over the years, the girls here have helped me find a way to not only figure out what was holding me back, but how to really just wake up with the confidence I never thought possible. Please take my words and hear me out, this is THE place !!! The fact that I never had to feel alone on my path to where I needed to be, was more than I could ask for 🙂

I highly recommend this group to anyone. Taylor is an amazing therapist, she is patient, supportive and a great listener. She has changed my outlook on life for the better!

~ Client

My therapist is absolutely amazing. They’re the best therapist I’ve ever had and they always listen to what i have to say and have helpful coping mechanisms for me to try, many of which have improved my mental health tremendously. I couldn’t ask for a better therapist.

~ Client

Dr. Politis helped my oldest daughter during a difficult divorce and I could not be more grateful. She truly cares and relates to adolescents and young adults. Her office staff were communicative with scheduling and insurance which was very helpful. She is one of the only therapy offices that accepts insurance and handles it for you. In the past I always had to submit myself. The other therapists that work there are great too-very warm and well trained.
