Kristen has been working with me on the functional issues that I am working on. She has worked with me to find a good process to be able to deal with these problems one at a time while also building my confidence.

Mar 2023

I have only met with Kristin twice so far but she took enough time to ask important questions that would allow her to make helpful suggestions while we are still getting to know each other. This was important to me because I was distressed and needed help. She helped me remember things that had helped in the past and suggested I try some of them again. I did try and found a few degrees of relief. And that was enough to make it tolerable.

More about Kristin

Hi there!

My name is Kristin Taylor and I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker practicing primarily in MA. I have 25 years of experience; the last 15 of which have been in private practice within a holistic wellness center. I have a BS in Education and a Masters in Social Work, which was received in 1994 from the University of New England.

I work with individuals and couples who have difficulty managing anxiety, high stress, depression, parenting , relationship issues, self esteem, conflict resolution, substance abuse, self awareness and childhood trauma.

The people I’ve been honored to work with have best been helped with an eclectic and holistic approach to healing. We begin wherever you are and implement supportive practices to help you find the needed balance, in order to make lasting changes.

I use mindfulness practices, solution focused techniques, strength based approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy and somatic work (which helps to to connect with the body from the inside out). In addition, inner child work, breath work and yoga can be part of our work if interested!

You've taken the first step in making a change, and I look forward to providing a safe, supportive ‘space’ to help you move forward.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Kristen is a great therapist. She really listens well and I feel like she truly wants to help people.

A.N.·Sep 2021

Kristin offers very helpful and practical advice. When I used the tools and tips she provided, it felt like someone is out there to support me. She is also very warm, friendly, and easy to talk to. Talking to Kristin is like digging your toes into warm sand at the beach, on a bright Sunday afternoon sipping on your favorite drink - it's definitely a comfort zone you don't want to miss being in. Beyond this, Kristin helps you build the necessary skills to cope with the challenges in life, and follows up with you. She is reliable, flexible, and has very high emotional intelligence :) Thank you Kristin.

E.L.·Mar 2021

I believe that Kristin really cares about helping people. She is a great counselor.

A.N.·Feb 2021

She provided everything I asked for and more.

T.J.·Feb 2021

Kristin helped me during a very tough period of my life. Living on a pandemic, being away from home and trying to make life decisions was not easy. However the tools that she gave me and her counseling were very reassuring for me at that time. I would definitely recommend Kristin to anyone who is struggling with depression, anxiety and battling about making big decisions. Thanks Kristin for all you’ve done for me!

N.A.·Feb 2021

Kristin has been amazing to work with, she listens with an empathetic ear and gives practical, thoughtful, and philosophical advice (depending on what you need at that moment in time). She's helped me manage through loneliness, family issues, and health issues. Doing some healing inner child work and mindfulness practices that she introduced to me has been a major game changer in my approach to everyday life and its ups and downs.

L.A.·Jan 2021

Kristin makes me feel comfortable to talk about anything and I appreciate that she also has words to fill any blank space. She’s very encouraging, seems very well grounded, and offers many approaches and methods to work around problems.

C.O.·Dec 2020

I have been so pleased with my sessions with Kristin Taylor. She has been able to get to know me very quickly and offers great advice. Not only is she 100% attentive to me during our sessions, but she checks in throughout the week to check on me related to specific events happening in my life. If I write in my journal or send her a message, she always responds to me. I couldn't have asked for a better counselor for me. Thank you!
