Taylor Novak, LCSW, QS

Taylor Novak is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Qualified Supervisor. She works with older adults, middle-aged adults, young adults, teens, and children (4+, often with guardian involvement) in couples, group/family, and individual practice. She’s curious about the individual and collective experiences of feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and power across the social ecological model. Taylor believes our differences are valuable and she recognizes important nuance in perspectives.

Taylor’s approach to healing is systems-, compassion-, and agency-based. She strives to be neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed, depathologizing, and integrative. Many (but not all!) of Taylor’s clients find themselves at an intersection of trauma and neurodivergence. Taylor uses models such as EMDR, IFS, relational experiential therapy, and DBT, informed by somatic expression, attachment, values, existentialism, and play. She believes experiences are complex, and trusts that you are the expert of your life. Through a mutually safe relationship, she considers it an honor to journey with you in wellness. She is also a Certified Prevention Professional, a registered yoga teacher, and a Spanish speaker. She enjoys dogs, plants, pop culture, direct communication, and boundaries.
