Taylor Pinto

Welcome! I am a licensed psychotherapist specializing in trauma/PTSD, as well as mood and anxiety related concerns. With experience in both inpatient and outpatient treatment settings, I offer comprehensive assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for individuals facing a range of mental health challenges. My therapeutic approach is down-to-earth and interactive. I draw from a variety of theoretical frameworks and tailor my approach to suit each client's developmental stage, personal preferences and needs. Aside from private practice, I partner with multiple community-based nonprofit agencies serving children, adolescents, and families involved in the foster care system, as well as survivors of domestic and sexual violence. I am a doctoral candidate at the University of Pennsylvania and earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Southern California. During our first session, we will review informed consent, which includes relevant policies, expectations, procedures, and your rights as a patient. We will then complete a standard psychiatric assessment so that I can better understand you, your environment, your history and goals for treatment. Having been a patient myself, I understand that this process can feel daunting but the great news is that you've already taken the first step! I’ll be sure to meet you where you're at as an equal, and I'll always welcome feedback as we work together. I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space in which ALL clients feel empowered to explore their identities, life experiences, and their unique strengths and challenges. I work with individuals, families and groups ages 8+ across the lifespan, and I truly enjoy collaborating with a diverse range of populations. I am happy to answer any questions about my training and/or specific therapeutic techniques that I use.
