•••Immediate Openings Available••• You promise yourself you won’t get into the same fight again, but then you inevitably do. It just happens so fast, and now the two of you are going in familiar circles. Maybe one of you gets walled off and seems to just…disappear. Or maybe one of you starts to fight harder, increasing the emotional intensity just to get through. There was once so much love here, but it’s hard to feel it when you’re caught up in a vicious cycle. These experiences can be downright excruciating, and counseling can help you navigate.

I've been doing psychotherapy for about 50 years, and hope to never have to give it up. My role in the work is to get to know the other person as thoroughly and deeply as possible, providing the opportunity for them to get to know themselves more deeply as well. If that sounds like something that could be helpful to you, give me a call and we'll see whether we can work together.

Sometimes difficult experiences or the general stress of life manifests as physical pain in our bodies or as emotions that feel overwhelming and unpredictable. Therapy is a place to learn how to listen to the wisdom of our bodies to better understand how to take care of our mental and physical well-being. The fact that you are looking at this page means you have taken the first step towards getting to know yourself better, and I know how hard that first step can be.

Hello! I have over 25 years of experience & specialize in anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, self-regulation and recovery. I value in depth assessment which informs our process. Unlike some types of supportive counseling, I offer education about how life experiences are hardwired into our brains & how this impacts all aspects of life and our relationships. I also focus on teaching skills to transform anxiety and stress into resilience, calm, and increased joy. To do that, I use mindfulness, somatic/body-based skills, psychedelic & ketamine - assisted psychotherapy, RRT, and nature-based connection.

I specialize in trauma resolution therapy: my practice focuses on resolving painful issues from the past that keep you stuck in repetitive cycles of negative behaviors. Do you ever ask your self "Why can't I just stop doing that?" or "Why do I keep attracting the same negative people in my life, over and over again?" I provide an atmosphere of safety and attuned communication where we are able to address both conscious and unconscious issues in order to uncouple traumatic events that have overwhelmed the mind and body, allowing healing to occur.

Seasoned trauma specialist & psychotherapist dedicated to co-creating a meaningful healing journey for individuals and couples who are feeling stuck, lost and trapped in dysfunctional patterns.

What are the thoughts in your head telling you? Are you paying attention to them? Past traumas and generational stories can often be like old recordings playing repeatedly in our minds often without us noticing. Yet, over time, these thoughts can lead to depression, anxiety, anger, relationship issues, and general dissatisfaction with our lives. The good news is this: you are not your thoughts! You are so much more and have a vast potential for growth. Are you ready to heal your past and reconcile your present circumstances, in order to build a strong foundation for your future?

Welcome to this page and thank you for visiting.  I see my role as a therapist to be a witness and guide on your journey towards healing and wholeness.  I connect with those who are seeking to find themselves, dealing with a life transition, and seeking a supportive presence from a holistic foundation. I hold the space for change to occur as you move you closer to your goals. I creatively adjust to the unique needs of clients that come and see me.

My passion is people and the therapeutic effect of authentic human connection. It's from a socially safe platform that we begin to really heal. By exploring the lens we're used to, we make space for new perspectives. Learning how you're wired creates opportunity make decisions about what you think, how you feel and what you can and are willing to do about it in order to connect to the self and heal. My clinical lens is rooted in the understanding of and respect for the gut-brain/heart-immune-mind axis, making my approach truly holistic. People deserve to be fed while learning to fish and I love treating people, not diseases.

There are times in life when we lose our way to our own truth and to our own sense of joy and purpose. There's a quality of presence within us all that can be deeply healing and empowering. Through this presence, we can connect with our unique sense of authenticity, creativity, and self-awareness. while stepping into life's challenges. We can find narratives that are no longer serving us and develop healthy narratives that can bring about healing and transformation. Your body and mind constitute an original and resilient Self, and we will base your therapy on its resources. You do not have to walk this path alone.

Hi there, my name is Taylor. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist Associate. I graduated from East Tennessee State University with a BSW and MSW. Prior my transition to the mental health field in 2020, I gained experience as a social worker in the medical field working with all age groups and populations. In the most recent years, I worked as an Employee Assistance Program Therapist and a Inpatient Psychiatric Social Worker (present).

I work with people to discover the tools and techniques that will help them experience greater fulfillment in their relationships, work, mind, body, and spirit. As a clinician, I love supporting individuals from all walks of life to find, create, or strengthen their most meaningful relationships. Building your relational skill set can aid you with all your interactions: from strangers, acquaintances, and co-workers, to friends, family, your children, and your lover.

What's between you and living a truly satisfying life, one aligned with your values and your highest intentions? What prevents your relationships from flourishing? Through present time, "in the moment" explorations via reflections, inquiry and encouragement, conscious and unconscious information is utilized to promote healing. Visit: deborahaburns.com

I have come to believe that by the time we meet you have probably been judged by a long list of people, organizations, culture, etc... I believe you may need to give up who you should be to be who you are and that can be amazing work! Client's I work with tend to begin a journey toward discovering their own core values and beliefs, and with these discoveries, begin to ask for things, in life, that line up with those values and beliefs. This leads to purpose, fulfillment, and an authentic life. Come and mend!

Sometimes life happens in a way that lends you to grief, feeling lost, and disconnected from the core of who you are. Grief and loss come in many shapes and sizes, loss of relationships, loss of self, life transitions, general changes, loss of dreams, body changes, aging, health struggles, new life, and death. Maybe there are specific events impacting you and maybe there aren't. Either way, you just feel off and out of alignment with the version of yourself you want to be. How about we give some space to explore who you are, who you aren't, how you got here, what impacts and influences you, and how to embody the whole you?

Are you struggling with women's issues, trauma, relationships, grief, anxiety, or major life changes? There comes a time when we need some help from a licensed professional to cope with many of life’s challenges, and I’d love to help you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. My approach is to help you delve deeper into understanding some of the cyclical patterns created and to liberate yourself to optimum health mind, body, and spirit so that you can thrive instead of just survive. I honor the opportunity to explore with an individual their underlining traumas of lacking a spiritual connection to everything around us.
