Hello! I’m Dr. Kala Taylor ,(She), I currently work private practice with (The Psychology Center) in Chicago. Previously I worked psychotherapy in the State Government Correctional setting under the exempt licensure title Clinical Psychologist/Sr Psych. Inmates under my care have described my therapeutic approach as "nonjudgmental" and "compassionate." My personal experiences have led me to cultivate a deep empathy for all beings. and I’m committed to being (not just inclusive but) welcoming towards “others.” My experience working in mental health has led me to focus on working to help individuals with personal challenges.

Life Coach is non stigma approach, working toward change. Some individuals prefer to talk to a Life Coach if they do not feel the need for mental health services. My goal as a Life Coach is to work toward positive change based each individual needs. If you need a high level of care "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy" is an option and as a professional that will be the direction we will move in.
