Taylor Waller, Therapist

A necessary component of a rich and fulfilling life involves experiencing a full range of emotions. The pride of accomplishment, the sadness of loss, the security of trust and the pain when it is broken, the joy of love, and the disappointment of mistakes and missed opportunities all play an important role in our lives. We all deserve to appreciate our own successes and good fortunes, and to be able to grow through and from our misfortunes. We also all deserve help navigating through them. I began my career in the field in 2007 at an acute psychiatric hospital, primarily in the child/adolescent unit. While there, I worked as a Behavioral Health Child Specialist and treated patients from a wide variety of backgrounds with histories of trauma and abuse, abandonment, mood disorders, grief, anxiety, behavioral problems, anger, and impulse control issues, among others. I have worked with all age groups (children, adolescents, adults, and seniors), including one-on-one, families, and couples, while working with children on the autism spectrum and continuing my work with at-risk adolescents. I work with my clients toward improved relationships with others and with one’s self, increasing insight and awareness. My therapeutic orientation is eclectic, adopting aspects from different theoretical perspectives to suit the individual client(s), borrowing from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and others. It is my goal as a therapist to have you feel comfortable and safe from judgment while exploring whatever may be contributing to your distress. My personal style is very relaxed and informal, acknowledging, and respecting your personal autonomy. I act merely as a collaborator alongside you in reaching your personal goals. I plan to continue my work with adolescents (15 years and older), adults, couples, and families.

Leah Rubke, Therapist

Life brings us a range of experiences that can evoke feelings of joy, excitement, and happiness, where we feel as though we are on top of the world, to those that bring more discomfort including sadness, despair, anger, or uncertainty. As we traverse through our lives, it is without question, we will feel the full range of these emotions. When life does become more uncomfortable or unmanageable, therapy can assist us in finding ways to move through these moments by building resilience and coming out on the other side with grace and a better sense of ourselves. As a practicing therapist for the past 20+ years, I have come to discover that the nature of change or evolving requires a warm and nurturing environment where clients can feel safe and understood in being able to work through their current challenges. I have found great benefit in taking a stance of unconditional positive regard for clientele that allows for vulnerability without judgement and self-empowerment without second guessing. Theoretically, I lean towards solution focused strategies as well as cognitive (thought) restructuring. I have had the privilege over the years to work with a wide range of populations including adolescents with primary mental health challenges to adults with chemical addiction struggles and other co-occurring conditions (i.e. anxiety, panic, depression, and eating disorders) in a number of settings. In addition, I have a Certified Mental Health and Nutrition Clinical Specialist designation which allows us to explore how proper nutrition can safeguard our mental health and cognitive functioning. I hope to be part of your journey towards hope and life fulfillment.
