I believe therapy is a valuable tool that can help people better understand themselves and create meaningful change in their lives. Everyone faces challenges, stress, and difficult emotions at different points in life, and sometimes having support can make those moments feel more manageable.
My approach is warm, empathetic, and supportive, and I use evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop healthier coping skills, manage emotions, and work through unhelpful thought patterns.
I also believe in treating the whole person by recognizing the connection between mind, body, and spirit. While we may not be able to control everything that happens to us, we do have the ability to make choices that support growth and healing. I want to help clients feel empowered, build confidence in themselves, and recognize their own strength as they work toward positive and lasting change.
Brigitte Black
Brigitte brings several years of experience working in both counseling and hospital settings, with a strong focus on providing compassionate, client-centered care. She believes that people are the experts of their own lives and is committed to supporting them as they navigate challenges, transitions, and personal growth.
Brigitte believes healing starts with feeling seen, heard, and understood. She strives to create a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can be themselves and explore what matters most to them.
Her approach is grounded in multicultural awareness and trauma-informed care. Brigitte draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic and Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), and Psychodynamic approaches to meet each client’s individual needs. She enjoys helping clients gain insight, build on their strengths, and develop the tools needed to create positive and lasting change.
Brigitte looks forward to walking alongside clients as they work toward greater well-being, confidence, and fulfillment.
Taylor Rutledge
Taylor believes counseling is a valuable opportunity for growth, healing, and self-discovery. She is passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment.
She works primarily with individuals experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, and trauma-related concerns. Taylor uses a Person-Centered approach while incorporating somatic and attachment-based techniques to help clients better understand themselves, build resilience, and work toward their goals.
Taylor believes everyone has a unique story, and that having someone who truly listens can make all the difference. She enjoys helping clients recognize their strengths, navigate challenges, and create meaningful change in their lives.
