Nancy J Taylor, Phd

Specialties

I am a Clinical Psychologist and Psychoanalyst, specializing in the treatment of anxiety in its various forms, as well as depression and relationship issues. I do this both in person and online for those whose lifestyle fits better with that format. People I work with make massive breakthroughs in creating the kind of lives that truly matter to them. For those of you who want to «dig deep» as well as for those who are just looking for relief today, I am able to customize my approach to your needs. I do this through the use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as well as Psychoanalysis.

History

Established in 1998.

I began working in a mental health hospital setting working with the «sickest of the sick.» What better place to truly learn how to help people than coming to understand those who were suffering the most! Even in that setting, I had remarkable success with the people I worked with and after seeing mental health issues in the most extreme cases, I came to really understand what made people «tick» as well as what made some people «sick.» Most of the people I work with now simply have problems in living and I help them to truly create the kind of life that has the most meaning for them. Many are busy professionals or high profile people who prefer to work online.

Dr. Nancy J. T.

Business Owner

I am originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, having moved to California as a teenager. I like to think of that as having the best of both worlds, the east and west coast influence! Having originally majored in foreign languages and coming from both a «WASP» and Italian American background, I came to appreciate the many ways of being in the world. This understanding of more than one culture from an early age has helped me not only work with persons from different cultural backgrounds but increased my ability to see thing from different points of view. I later received my doctorate from the University of Nevada, Reno where I studied under Steve Hayes, Ph.D., the founder of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Still not satisfied that there wasn’t more for me to know about how people «work,» I went on to become a Psychoanalyst, receiving a second doctorate from the Newport Psychoanalytic Institute. I have maintained a private practice since 2000 and now also work online.
