Taylor Nelson

Children need a unique approach to help them feel safe, seen and soothed. Taylor specializes in play-based therapeutic interventions that support healthy child development and relationships. She offers a variety of tools to engage kids in therapy including expressive arts, projective play, sensorimotor activities, puppetry, sand tray and more. Taylor deeply cares about children's mental health and believes therapy is a great space for kids to meet the best versions of themselves.

In addition to being a therapist on the team, Taylor is also the owner of Family Tree Therapy.
