More about Tomi
- 9 years' experience
- Female
- LPC, LCPC
I have a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, Accredited Triple P Provider, Certified AutPlay® Therapy Provider, EMDR trained therapist and Theraplay trained therapist. I am also a member of the American Psychological Association and the Autistic Self Advocacy Network.
I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My experience includes working with families in crisis, working with autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, neurodevelopmental disorders, behavioral disorders, mood disorders, adjustment disorders, traumatic stress disorders, and chronic and terminal medical conditions. I provide a variety of therapeutic options, such as sandtray therapy, play therapy, and mindfulness-based services, family-focused therapy, and teletherapy.
I have several years post graduate experience work counseling children and adults, as well as 15 years of experience working specifically within the autistic community. I have served as a case manager, resource coordinator, and client advocate for children and parents. I currently offer therapeutic and educational services at my clinic in Springfield, Missouri and online.
I am well aware of the conflicts that can occur when trying to work therapy and other appointments in around a busy work/school/family schedule. I am committed to providing therapeutic services during evening and weekend hours to help clients avoid as many unnecessary conflicts to gaining mental health care access as possible.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She's the best check in the 4th check in therapist I've had my life...
Tomi is an excellent therapist. She has helped me gain knowledge, prospective and confidence in my decision to leave my 35 year marriage to a covert narcissist. I knew something was not right, but as with many people involved with the challenges of this personality type, you feel as if YOU are a crazy person. The most difficult thing I’ve ever done is evolving into the best thing I’ve ever done.I fully credit the positive outcome of this life change to Tomi. Compassionate, wise, knowledgeable, patient, supportive, empathic, balanced with a sprinkle of good humor. That’s Tomi.
Tomi is a great therapist , her level of understanding and empathy is great.
It is wonderful to have Tomi because I am going through a really hard time and I know that she is there to listen and help where she can. I need my weekly sessions to know that I can continue on and to take care of what I need to. She is a life saver.
So far this experience is far superior to my prior experience with therapy
I have been going through an extremely challenging time and Tomi has been wonderful in helping me respond to it in a healthy manner. I highly recommend her!
Tomi is good at what she does. She also explained all the features of the better help app.
Tomi does a beautiful job listening, validating and supporting me in making positive change in my life. She is an incredibly empathetic, fantastic human being and I'm grateful to have her as my therapist!
Tomi is the best therapist I've ever had, she really understands and listens and walks me through things at my own pace.
Excellent.
Tomi is a great listener and is very responsive and understanding.
I came to BetterHelp in desperation to answer one question. After 35 years of marriage, was I loosing my mind? Under the care of Tomi Taylor I am getting so much more than one answer. I am learning the answers to some of the most important questions I have about myself, my marriage, my belief system and all that I was programmed to believe as a child, but has not served me well in this present moment. I’m on my way to the knowing. Tomi is a gifted therapist. She is intuitive, kind, light hearted, wise and truthful. I have worked with other therapist before who have doctorate degrees. Tomi is the first person that I have connected with that I feel is truly present with me. I am thrilled with my progress. She is a worthy keeper of your story. . I am grateful to have her as my guide.
Tomi is so supportive and respectful of my needs. She meets me wherever I’m at each day.
Tami is a good listener and very responsive.
She's an amazing lady! Checks on me periodically even though she's no longer paid to do this. I'm very thankful ♡ with tears of appreciation.
Tomi is great. Listens and offers smart feedback
Tomi is an incredible listener and has helped me validate feelings I didn't even know I had buried! After our sessions I feel much more relaxed and my soul feels lighter.
Fantastic. Approached her with problems regarding career problems exhibiting ADHD symptoms and she helped me a lot with understanding what's going on. Very understanding and supportive.
Tomi is incredible. She is respectful, thoughtful, and has great wisdom and insight. I love working with her.
Tomi is the first person on here that I've felt that I can open up to. She is kind, understanding, and provides great insight and perspective.
Tomi has been an excellent therapist and is very supportive. She answers questions in a timely manner and is overall a very nice person. She puts my needs into consideration and communicates efficiently with me. Welcoming is another word I would use to describe her, which has been very helpful. Would rate her an 11/10 if I could
Tomi truly cares about all the concerns I'm dealing with in my life. Makes me feel really valued and that my issues are not easy; but that we can get through them together . She recommended something that has helped me deal with the physical pain and inflammation in my body. So now I can focus more on my mental clarity while dealing with a work related injury process.
Tomi is so good at what she does and has really helped me work through severe anxiety issues. I’m so thankful that I found her and would recommend her for anyone that wants to try EMDR.
Tomi is fantastic. She makes me feel comfortable and I’d recommend her to anyone!
I love Tomi! She provides a lot of thoughtful, insight input to every conversation we have.
Tomi is wonderful! She’s supportive and listens. She gives feedback and is helping me understand issues in my life and how to resolve or change things. I feel like I have a coach in life. I never wanted to vent to a friend or family member about my life in fear of judgement and now I have Tomi who will give sound advice, and calm my spirit. I don’t feel alone anymore and I don’t feel judged. I’m grateful and look forward to my future!
Tomi has been excellent and lives up to her qualifications. She’s very considerate and really nice. She’s honest while also putting into account my comfort level and the help I need with trauma. I would highly recommend her as a therapist
So happy that I finally found a therapist that understands me and knows that I’m having a hard time in life and need support and healthy advise.
I've only just started meeting with Tomi, but she is very helpful and clearly understands me and my issues. I feel supported and understood and safe.
Tomi has been helpful to me in a time when things are rough and not going well. She gives me suggestions and things to think about, but knows that I will get to where I need to go just be giving me the time I need and just by listening to me.
Tomi seems like an amazing person! I’ve only had one session due to my work hours being in the cooking industry. But I look forward to our sessions and can’t wait to go forward.
Tomi helped me get back into therapy after a previous bad experience with it, she's the best.

She’s the best.
Absolutely amazing. I know I can be feeling a way an message an in no time usually I'm getting an message back.
