Taryn Stafford, LACMH

As a graduate of Walden University’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program and a Licensed Associate Counselor of Mental Health, I hope to work with individuals, couples, families, and groups who need guidance, resources, and support as they navigate their mental health journey.

Treatment Approach

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and I want you to know that my goal is to create a safe and supportive space for you from the very beginning. We will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, and this is something we will work through together. I work with adults navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, and the effects of past experiences. My approach focuses on helping you understand how your experiences may be influencing what you are feeling now, while also helping you move toward where you want to be. I want to support you in feeling more confident in vulnerable situations, learning how to quiet overwhelming thoughts, and feeling more grounded in your everyday life.

Together, we will work to better understand your symptoms and build tools that help you feel more in control while creating routines and habits that support your well-being, including improving sleep, confidence, and self-esteem. I also support clients in processing past experiences at a pace that feels safe, while strengthening self-compassion and emotional stability.

If you are considering starting therapy, I understand that taking the first step can feel intimidating. My goal is to provide a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without pressure to have everything figured out. I will meet you with consistency, support, and care as we navigate challenges together and build on your strengths.

“The Self is a calm, compassionate, curious, and connected presence inside each of us, and it is the key to healing.”
