Provider Spotlight: Taylor Blair, MS

At the heart of my work is a simple goal: to support people in ways that feel meaningful to them.
I see therapy as a collaborative process. I bring my clinical training, knowledge of mental health, and tools to help make sense of things, and you bring your lived experience and insight into your own life. Together, we get curious about what matters most to you: your values, thinking patterns, behaviors, and relationships, and how they shape your day-to-day decisions and experiences. You are the expert on your life. My role is to walk alongside you, offering support, guidance, and resources to help you move in the direction that feels right for you.

I aim to create a space that feels safe, comfortable, and real. Sometimes that means talking about everyday things, like a show you’re watching or a book you can’t put down, and other times it means making room for the heavier, more painful parts of life. All of it belongs in the room.

My style is direct, warm, and compassionate. I’ll gently challenge the patterns that might be getting in your way, while always making sure you feel heard, supported, and never judged. And yes, there’s room for humor too, because a well-timed laugh can make even the hard moments feel a little more bearable.

My hope is that my clients leave our work together with a stronger sense of who they are and more confidence in navigating life’s ups and downs. Therapy, to me, isn’t just about working through difficulties; it’s also about growing, imagining what’s possible, and moving toward the most authentic version of yourself.

Provider Spotlight: Vanessa Stanfield, MS, ART-Trained
Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern

We live in a world that often provides a lot of unsolicited advice and expectations about who we should be. As a clinician, I believe that much of our mental health struggles arise when we try to squeeze ourselves into boxes that weren’t designed for us.

As a mixed race woman and mother of color, I can understand first hand what it feels like to not ‘fit in’ to said boxes. However, I also know how freeing it can be to live life in a way that feels true to who you are. I believe we were all created to be beautifully diverse and unique, so why not embrace that?

As we work together in the therapy, I prioritize creating a culturally aware, nonjudgmental, and compassionate space. Maybe we will talk about who your ‘village’ includes and values that you have been inspired to adopt from them. Maybe we will discuss the values that feel true for you as the one-of-a-kind individual you are. My overall goal is for my clients to leave my office feeling more confident and empowered to embrace their authentic selves.

I love coffee and staying hydrated. As you get to know me, you may see me drinking from a mug that says “No one is you and that is your super power.” I firmly believe that. I’m here to walk along side you as you embrace that power and use it to take up space in this world.
