Laurie Taylor, MS, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Laurie's personal statement reads: You are a courageous person. If you have come this far in your search for support, this is what I know: you have tried every strategy you know to find relief from whatever is troubling you. It is painful to keep watching the people you love struggle. You would do anything to make things better, but you feel stuck. You are not alone. NOW is the time to talk with someone who can offer you new strategies to help you through a difficult phase. TODAY is the day that someone joins you on your journey and holds hope. I come from a strength based approach and strongly hold to the power of attachment. Although I have experience and training in various methods of therapy, I value what you bring to the client-therapist relationship and would like to know what works for you. Working together in mutual respect is the key to any relationship. I believe that as we work together, healing will occur. Although my specialty is working with children, I also enjoy working with individuals, couples, and teens.

Supervised by Cliff Jacobson, LMFT 79264

Chad Blanchard, MA, is a registered Associate Marriage Family Therapist. His personal statement reads: Your desire for relief can truly be a springboard for positive and lasting changes. Perhaps you have felt a sense that it is indeed possible that your life and/or your loved ones's life could be more satisfying, though are not sure just where to start. You are not alone, so many people genuinely desire such a meaningful shift for themselves and/or their loved ones and yet feel stuck. Fortunately, a good match between client and psychotherapist continues to be extraordinarily helpful in making the wish for relief become a living reality. I am a relational therapist with a collaborative approach in assisting my adult, teenage and young clients in their quest for change. Through authentically witnessing the difficulties, strengths, fears, and aspirations, it is my intention to then help ‘shine a light’ on that beckoning path that resonates most deeply for them. My intention is to support my clients in harnessing their own incredible power and resiliency while they continue to discover and align with their own deeper sense of purpose. May your search lead to the increased happiness that you and/or your loved one seek.
