Training and Experience
Taylor completed her Master of Arts in Counselling, Psychotherapy and Spirituality at Saint Paul University in May 2020. Throughout this program, she had the opportunity to work with a variety of clients (individuals and couples) under the supervision of several Registered Psychotherapists with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).
Prior to her graduate studies, Taylor completed her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of Prince Edward Island (2017). She also completed the first basic unit of Clinical Pastoral Education at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Charlottetown (2017), and an internship with the World Youth Alliance in New York City (2017). Each of these experiences helped to build the foundation for Taylor’s work as a counsellor—expanding her view of what it means to be human and the understanding of the depth of dignity that each person possesses.
Taylor spent two years working at the PEI Cancer Treatment Centre as a member of the patient support team and as part of the Spiritual Care department.
###Approach
Clients will benefit from a collaborative process. Taylor utilizes an integrative, holistic approach. Adapting each session to the particular goals and interests of the individual client, Taylor incorporates aspects of person-centred, cognitive-behavioural, experiential, and emotion-focused therapeutic approaches. An understanding of the impact of systemic influences and trauma will also be considered when working with each client.
