Danielle Taylor, LMHC

Dating & Relationship Therapist: “Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. It’s really worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for.

Danielle Taylor, LMHC's style

Why Danielle Taylor, LMHC chose to be in the helping profession

From a young age, I was drawn to understanding human emotions and relationships, and I found my calling in mental health after seeing how empathy can transform lives.

In my practice, I combine compassion with strong therapeutic training to support individuals, couples, families, and the LGBTQ community. My goal is to create a safe space where clients feel heard, empowered, and guided on their journey of healing and self-discovery. I’m continually inspired by the resilience and strength my clients bring to our work together.

Danielle Taylor, LMHC's approach

My mission is to help people build lasting, healthy, and fulfilling relationships—whether with a friend, a spouse, a future partner, or even with themselves.

I believe true well-being is more than just how we feel day to day—it’s the balance of our physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational selves. Since everyone’s journey looks different, I take a holistic and individualized approach to meet you where you are.

At the heart of this work is the therapeutic process itself: a safe, supportive space where you can explore your story, understand your patterns, and move toward the future you want. Our work together is built on trust, empathy, and mutual respect.

Depending on your needs, I may draw from evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), or from deeper insight-oriented approaches such as Psychodynamic Therapy. When working with couples, I also use tools from the Gottman Method and Imago Therapy to strengthen and enrich relationships.

Above all, my goal is to walk alongside you—helping you discover clarity, growth, and connection along the way.

Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, fostering a supportive and empowering environment.

Danielle Taylor, LMHC's experience working with the Jewish community

I've resided in two of the most prominent Jewish singles communities—namely, the Upper West Side and Washington Heights in New York City—for several years during my dating years. This firsthand experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of the intricacies of these communities, allowing me to assist individuals in navigating the unique challenges and opportunities presented in the realm of Jewish dating. I find great satisfaction in contributing to the well-being and growth of individuals within the rich tapestry of the Jewish community.

My professional journey has allowed me to engage with individuals from various backgrounds and lifestyles, particularly within the Jewish community. Through this experience, I've gained valuable insights into addressing a wide array of issues and assisting individuals in achieving their diverse goals.
