Taylor Baez, MA, LPCC

affiliated Mental Health Practitioner

Let's be honest - life is just hard sometimes. What are you trying to deal with on your own right now? A new life chapter? College? Self-esteem? A break-up? Discouraged from your ever-growing to-do list? Overwhelmed with too many choices? Do you often doubt your intuition and decisions? Not only are your challenges overcomable, but you already have the wisdom within you to live your best life with vitality. I work most often with trauma, young adult transitions, SPMI, and neurodivergence. However, I am honored to help anyone on their healing journeys. I thrive on short-term therapy like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), pre-marital counseling, and solution-focused therapy, but I’m also available to longer-term ongoing therapy as well!

I trust you with your vision of what your best life looks like. To help you work towards that goal, we'll face your challenges as opportunities for growth. Some techniques I often utilize include: Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Socratic questioning, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and somatic approaches.

Taylor has previously worked in group homes, foster care, ARMHS, and in-home therapy. Taylor is also on the Minnesota Women in Psychology board, working to support all womxn in the mental health professions.

Taylor is in the St. Paul location and offers telehealth.
