Friends and family attempt to understand, and though they try, you cannot explain to them the depth of the anxiety, fear, guilt and shame that is experienced in those moments.
Trauma is personal. Your anxiety about the past, the recurring nightmares, the flashes of memories, the gut punches that are unexpected that take you back. Remind you of the pain and emotions as if you were right there again! You can heal from the anxiety and not relive it when you are triggered. EMDR can help.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Through understanding comes healing and growth. Life is too short to surrender to bad relationships, trauma, or emotional pain. I want you to live a life of true happiness and find meaning in work, family, friendships, and all areas of life. I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life challenges you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

My goal in therapy is to show you compassion. I hope that through my compassionate example you will learn to be gentle with yourself as you go through life transitions that make you question your life decisions and how you cope with obstacles. As you make your way through changes that could include family disruptions and loss, learning how to end addictions to substances, or adjusting to health problems, acknowledging ways you have been able to find strength and resolve problems will be vital to finding joy and meaning in your day-to-day life.

Therapy is all about the healing and growth translated through the relationships between the patient and the therapist. When I founded Peace River Psychology Center in 2000, I devised that the center's motto should be "a health spa for the mind" and I like to take a holistic approach to mental health. I am a licensed clinical psychologist treating children, adolescents and adults. My specialty is in internalizing disorders, specifically depression and anxiety.

No matter where you go, there you are! Change is often hard. Crossway Counseling & Learning Center was founded in 1998 by Cora Taylor, Psy.S., to bring hope and healing for many of the issues in life, both current and past, that keep individuals from becoming the persons they want to be. Some of those issues may be depression, relationships, marriage, divorce, anxiety, stress, trauma, and Long-Covid. My passion is healing. My goal is to help you develop better coping skills for dealing with whatever circumstances have gotten you stuck and unable to move forward in your life and relationships.

As a Black woman, you face unique challenges that often feel overwhelming. Balancing cultural expectations, societal pressures, and personal responsibilities leaves you feeling drained and disconnected. Anxiety and depression weigh heavily, affecting your mental and emotional well-being. Navigating microaggressions and systemic inequities adds another layer of stress that’s hard to explain to those who don’t experience it firsthand. You find yourself juggling the roles of caregiver, professional, and advocate, often at the expense of your own self-care, leaving little room to just be yourself.

Through the process of therapy, you can develop new ways of dealing with conflicts, communication difficulties, grief and loss, and many other daily concerns. In a non-judgmental and supportive environment, you can make positive changes for a stronger today and future. I believe that addressing the relationship between couples may require a “sacred space”. This safe space can allow the therapist to work with couples in breaking down walls that may have kept them trapped in overwhelming situations, and aid them in developing deeper connections

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
