Taylor Williams, LMSW #113410
Supervised by Kristen Felter, LCSW-S #39459

Taylor (she/her) enjoys helping children and adolescents ages 3 and up navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and challenges related to family dynamics.
​

Taylor has experience using trauma-informed play therapy to support children in developing resilience, emotional regulation, and healthy coping mechanisms. She tailors her interventions to meet each child's unique needs while incorporating play therapy, art, and mindfulness techniques. Taylor creates a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe to express themselves and work through their challenges at their own pace. Taylor received her Bachelor of Science in Social Work from The University of Texas at Austin and her Master of Science in Social Work with a clinical concentration from Columbia University in New York City.​

Taylor emphasizes collaboration with caregivers and other professionals involved in the child's life. She views this collaborative approach as essential for extending therapeutic progress beyond the session room and into the child's daily life. 

Committed to cultural humility, Taylor provides an inclusive and accepting environment for all cultures and identities. Taylor views the therapeutic relationship as a fuel for positive change, helping children and families build stronger connections both within and outside of therapy. She believes in the resilience of children, the transformative power of play, and creative expression in the healing process.
