Taylor Dreher, ASW

I am a black genderqueer social worker with a passion for providing psychotherapy through ACT, DBT, and CBT principles. I'm open to a wide variety of clients, including individuals (adults or minors) and couples. Most of my work has been with addiction, recovery, and co-occurring disorders in Community Mental Health (CMH) settings.

I view therapy as a form of self-care, and self-care as a form of resistance. In a world that presses for conformity, I hope to continue providing a multifaceted space where identities can intersect and wellness is an individualized concept.

My model is person-centered, social-justice oriented, and trauma informed. I view therapy as a collaborative experience that can be fun, weird, frustrating, and enriching all at once.
