Hi, I'm Taylor Hall, a Professional Counselor Associate with Virtus. Choosing a counselor is a big step, and I want you to feel confident that we'll be a good fit. I provide services exclusively to clients in Oregon and specialize in helping people navigate Sadness, Anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, anger, life transitions, and feeling "Stuck." My background as an EMT and in addiction counseling gives me a unique appreciation for the challenges faced by first responders and those in recovery. I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are with a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and client-centered approach.

Starting Our Work Getting to Know You: Our first session is an Intake Assessment where I'll ask broad questions about your history and what brought you to therapy. This helps me understand you as a whole person and ensure we're a good fit. Defining Our Path: We’ll work together to clearly define your goals—whether it's managing anxiety or coping with a major change. We can always adjust these as you progress. Building Trust: I actively work to establish a safe and confidential space. It's normal to feel nervous, but this initial stage is all about building the trust essential for successful therapy.

Ongoing Sessions: Therapy is a collaborative, two-way conversation where you are the expert on your life, and I offer professional expertise. Exploring Emotions: I'll listen actively as you describe your situation. This is a safe space for tears, laughter, or frustration. I’ll ask thoughtful, open-ended questions to help you explore your feelings and discover your own insights. Challenging Patterns: We’ll gently identify and challenge unhelpful thought and behavior patterns that are keeping you stuck. This isn't about telling you that you are wrong, but about exploring new, constructive skills. Practice for Change: I may give you "homework" between sessions, like tracking your mood or practicing a new coping skill. This is how you apply what you learn to your daily life, which is vital for long-term change.

I look forward to the possibility of working with you!
