3 years offering treatment
I began helping people at a Mental Health Clinic in New York. This lead me to a three year training program in therapy at a New York City Hospital. I have also taught at several New York Universities and Colleges. My training was theoretical. However, decades of practice has adjusted my approach in treatment to be more practical in order to address the issues of stress, anxiety and depression to help you achieve a well adjusted and satisfying life. I also acquired Certification in Critical Incident Stress Management while working with New York City Police, after the fall of the World Trade Center. This training has lent itself to helping people outside of the Department. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder affects many people on many levels. It also appears on multiple levels of degrees. Anxiety, stress and depression occur with separation and loss throughout life. Recently, I completed a year of study on Adoption Competency at Georgia State University. This training has proven to be a great toil in addressing and helping people with other separations and losses. Loss can cause anxiety, stress and in divorce, death and numerous other unexpected incidents in life. If you are willing to begin the journey to discover what is causing your discomfort, lets talk. I am looking forward to meeting you. Thank You, Phyllis Taliaferro LCSW-R

Hello, I am a seasoned psychotherapist with a rich cultural background, being multi-racial – African, Indigenous, and Irish American. With over 35 years of experience in the field of human behavior, I have worked with diverse populations and settings ranging from Long Island to New York City. My educational journey began with a degree in Communication Arts from Hofstra University, specializing in film. However, my passion for documentaries and understanding people led me to pursue a Master of Social Work at Stony Brook University. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive training in alcohol, substance abuse, mental health, and the treatment of dual diagnoses. Throughout my career, I have worn various hats from being a Certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) to a CASAC-Master, psychiatric social worker, psychotherapist, and Addictions Specialist. My clientele has been diverse, spanning different age groups, educational backgrounds, professions, and cultural affiliations. In my practice, I place a strong emphasis on authenticity and attachment in my interactions with clients. I have found that fostering genuine connections helps reduce anxiety and creates a safe space for growth and healing. My therapeutic approach is client-centered and eclectic, drawing from cognitive-behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to establish and achieve therapy goals. I have a successful track record in addressing a wide range of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, Bipolar disorder, Dissociative disorders, OCD, as well as providing support for couples through couple/marital therapy techniques. I firmly believe in the power of psychotherapy or talk therapy as a transformative and empowering tool for personal growth and positive change. It is my hope to guide clients through their challenges, help them set and achieve goals, and ultimately create a more fulfilling life. I invite you to embark on this therapeutic journey with me, where we can work together towards unlocking your full potential and creating meaningful changes in your life.
