I am now trained and offer ketamine assisted psychotherapy. Feeling disconnected from life? Wanting more for yourself and loved ones? Ready to move forward? With over 20 years in the counseling field, I continue to be committed to helping clients create transformation in their lives. Working together to move beyond old patterns and ways of thinking that don't serve you.

I offer a compassionate, safe environment for you to talk about what's important to you without fear of judgement.

Welcome! If you're experiencing anxiety, depression, overwhelm, restlessness, or other lingering effects of trauma, you're not alone. You may be longing for a sense of purpose or struggling to connect with others in a meaningful way. Today's world doesn't exactly lend itself to lightening the heaviness of our past, or paving a path to a brighter future. It makes sense to feel hopeless, scattered, or a little on edge (or a lot on edge). Maybe you can't get motivated to do that thing you've always loved doing, or maybe you've lost touch with yourself and don't know who you are or what you want anymore. And you're here. Trust yourself.

As an adult, you are beginning to realize that your childhood wasn’t “just normal”. You got away from total chaos in your family. Or maybe you left the church/religion. Or perhaps you have been rejected by past community for your sexual or gender identity. You thought you could just move on but you can’t. This experience has left you totally destabilized. It feels like anxiety and depression are tag teaming. You don’t know who you are anymore. You feel so alone. All of your friends who didn’t have this experience just don’t get it. At the very least you just want to feel normal but what even is that?

Hi, I’m Taegan Dolphin. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in the social work field for over 16 years in a variety of settings with diverse clients. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Human Services with a minor in Women’s Studies and Psychology from the University of Delaware, and my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Delaware State University. I have experience serving teens, young adults, adults, and older adults. My areas of expertise include trauma, grief and loss, self-esteem, life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, LGBTIQA+ issues, adoption and parenting/couple issues.

I consider the foundation of good therapy to rest on a warm, trusting and collaborative relationship between therapist and client. Together we will work to better understand the issues bringing you to therapy and explore ways in which you can both gain more personal insight and improve your life. My goal is to provide individualized psychotherapy treatment that is integrative, holistic, and strength-based. I recognize that starting therapy takes courage and I therefore work to foster a therapy space where you are truly and authentically heard and valued.

I believe our natural state is health toward which we constantly strive. Sometimes, we encounter situations that interrupt this process. These interferences can occur at any point during our lives and they sometimes leave us searching for ways to cope. There are many ways to heal, and I engage psychotherapy from a contemplative lens. I specialize in healing through a depth approach and I work with people to uncover the wisdom of their true essence. I use tools such as talk therapy, Cognitive and Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and CommitmentTherapy, and Writing.
