About – Guided Narratives

Hi, I am Dr. Taylor Young

Hello and welcome! I’m Dr. Taylor Young, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a PhD in Medical Family Therapy. Throughout my career, I have been deeply committed to helping individuals, couples, families, clinicians, and organizations heal and thrive through a Biopsychosocial-Spiritual (BPSS) approach. This means honoring the powerful connections between our physical health, emotional experiences, social relationships, and spiritual identities.

A significant part of my journey has involved teaching medical professionals how to integrate behavioral health into patient care and cultivate greater collaboration between mental and physical health providers. My clinical, teaching, and research experiences across academic health centers, primary care clinics, and community-based settings deeply inform the comprehensive, integrated support I offer clients.

I have had the privilege of supporting a wide range of individuals, from high-conflict couples seeking deeper connection, to individuals navigating stress, grief, trauma, and identity exploration. I aim to warmly welcome clients from all backgrounds, creating a therapeutic space rooted in respect, affirmation, and inclusivity.

Whether working in therapy, supervision, or consulting, my goal is always the same: to create spaces where people feel seen, understood, and empowered to live more connected, meaningful lives.

Philosophy of Care

My philosophy of care is rooted in integration, compassion, and honoring the whole person. I view therapy as a collaborative journey; one that invites deep self-exploration, strengthens the mind-body connection, and draws on your own resilience and wisdom sources. My work blends narrative exploration, emotional attunement, physiological awareness, and meaning-making, creating a therapeutic space that is relational, holistic, and deeply respectful of your cultural, spiritual, and lived experiences.

My Full Story

“I have been shaped by personal experiences; walking with friends and family members as they sought healing across emotional, relational, physical, and spiritual dimensions. These stories, both personal and professional, have solidified my belief that healing is never one-dimensional.”

What Led Me Here

My passion for this work began when I was just 19 years old, working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Those early experiences in healthcare, standing alongside patients in some of their most vulnerable moments, gave me a deep respect for the human spirit and a lasting connection to the medical field.
