Grief is intense emotional suffering caused by loss. Grief is not just about the loss of a loved one. It can be faced in divorce, life transition, disaster or misfortune. Grief is a normal painful part of life. It is work and a lingering process. Grief is a complex of emotions that are experienced psychologically, socially and physically. Grief has several stages that are not neatly packaged states that a person does not experience sequentially but rather a cycle or more than one at a time. Grief is a healing journey that can last anywhere from one to three years and for some a lifetime. But you do not have to navigate this journey alone. Let me help you work through the various stages and range of emotions you may feel after a loss.

About Keya Taylor

I believe one of the greatest supports during challenging times is having someone to talk to. I provide a safe environment for clients to 'open up' by being empathetic, warm, and interested in the client's experience. I am dedicated to helping people grow in the ways they desire to. In addition to private practice, I serve as a Behavioral Clinician at a community agency and a Christian Counselor at community center building and restoring individuals and families one session at a time. I enjoy working with individuals, adolescents, couples, families and groups. I believe the most effective approach is relational, focusing on the mutual participation and engagement in the therapeutic space to better understand and develop the capacity for meaningful connection and engagement with others. I also come from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Biblical Counseling approaches supplemented with various treatment methods to meet client's needs. I specialize in working with clients struggling with trauma, substance abuse and grief. I am here to help you navigate and manage the impact of life's challenges.
