TAYLOR ALMQUIST, LCSW #88953

Do you struggle saying no when asked to do something? Do you say yes and then immediately regret it? Do you feel burnt out from life's demands? I have spent the last 8 years in the field and have worked in various settings including inpatient psychiatric hospital care, individual therapy, couples therapy and group therapy. I have helped individuals ranging from those who have mild symptoms or troubles to individuals with chronic and severe symptoms and illnesses and one thing they have in common is needing a support system and help setting important boundaries in their life in order to start living for themselves again. I was born and raised in the Inland Empire and know the area well, as well as know the unique challenges of this area. I work with individuals, couples and families to navigate through challenges they are facing in their lives and helping them reach whatever goals they have set. I work with anxiety and depressive disorders as well as life changes/challenges. If you have been struggling with difficult emotions you would like to work through and don't know where to start you are not alone. I am the type of therapist who will sit with you to determine what type of sessions you need. Do you need someone to be direct with you? Do you need someone who will walk you through something difficult? We can decide together! My undergraduate degree was obtained from the University of Redlands in Sociology and Anthropology and my postgraduate degree was obtained from Loma Linda University earning a Master's in Social Work, and I have since become licensed as a LCSW. My primary modalities are Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and family systems therapy.  I love helping people reach their goals through hard but needed work and look forward to meeting you and seeing if I may be a good fit for you.
