Outside of my work, I’m all about music, good gatherings, traveling, nature, and trying things for the first time. Yoga keeps me grounded, and community keeps me inspired.
​
In my work, I bring a social justice and human rights lens to everything I do. That means creating affirming, supportive spaces for folx who are often overlooked or discriminated against, especially BIPOC, Queer+, and immigrant/ first gen families.
​
I offer therapy for adults in California, Nevada, and D.C. I work with organizations and therapists across the country through consulting, program design, supervision and training.

I’m Dr. Nicole Taylor, a Doctor of Marital and Family Therapy, somatic psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and mental health and organizational wellness consultant.
​
My work sits at the intersection of mental health, embodied healing, organizational care, and social justice. For over 15 years, I have supported individuals, communities, teams, and care-centered organizations in creating spaces for healing, reflection, connection, and sustainable change.
​
What makes my approach distinct is the way I bring together therapeutic depth, relational systems theory, embodied practice, organizational development, and program design. Together, these lenses translate into wellness experiences and organizational systems that are emotionally attuned, body-aware, culturally responsive, and thoughtfully structured in supporting people, teams, and communities in how they connect, communicate, care for one another, navigate complexity, and sustain meaningful existence.
​
My background includes:
​
-
Bachelor’s degree in Human Services w/ an emphasis in nonprofit management
-
Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology w/ a focus in Marriage and Family Therapy
-
Doctorate degree in Marital & Family Therapy w/ an emphasis in organizational development & program design
-
Advanced training in somatic therapy, EMDR, emotionally focused therapy, trauma-informed care, decolonial therapy approaches, 300+ hours of yoga + yoga philosophy training w/ specialized focus in therapeutic yoga
-
Experience designing, developing, and managing programs and organizations rooted in care, community, and sustainability
​
I currently offer therapy, clinical supervision, consulting, trainings, retreats, and curated wellness experiences for individuals, therapists, teams, and organizations.
​
Across this work, I hold care, ethics, community, and accountability at the center; not as abstract values, but as practices that shape how healing spaces, programs, and cultures of care are designed, facilitated, and sustained.
