I am licensed in Texas with 10+years of professional work experience. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
Hi there, My name is Shawn Taylor. I'm here to help!
Are you angry due to unmet needs and expectations?
Are you struggling with work/life balance in your relationships, work, and health?
Do you feel anxious and fragmented about the life narrative you’re creating thus far?
Do you feel you’ve developed unhealthy habits and maladaptive behaviors due to underachievement?
Throughout my professional lifespan, I’ve interacted with various individuals—distilling the common denominator among those battling life challenges is that most individuals are motivated at the core to find solutions for behavioral and lifestyle changes. However, most lack the logistical “know-how” to resolve Internal Family System disorders caused by trauma, addictions, anger, and anxiety to effect permanent change within their lives. I’ll help you accomplish this by drawing on my professional background spanning over 20+years as a Criminal Justice Investigator with the Houston Police Department, Career & Technology Educator with Spring ISD, and independent Mental Health Practitioner.
I earned my MA in Counseling Psychology from the Houston Graduate School of Theology in (2014). I hold licensures to practice professional therapeutic services in the State of Texas as a:
• LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor under license #73416)
• LSOTP (Licensed Sex Offender Treatment Provider under license #99449)
• LCDC (Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor under license #12929).
My therapeutic approach will further assist you in delving into internal actionable steps—promoting self-insights, and discovering the best solutions for life-altering outcomes.
Seeking therapy can cause some trepidation, but you’re making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I’ll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hang-ups and habits holding you back. I’m passionate about exemplifying unconditional positive regard throughout the therapeutic process--which functions as a change agent to inspire, counsel, guide, and teach individuals how to reframe maladaptive thinking errors and behaviors causing psychotic/neurotic mental health challenges. Let’s start our work together!

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.
