Welcome to the new wave of the future. I’m sure you may have mixed emotions about Teletherapy but let me just say you are not alone. I too had reservations when first introduced to this virtual technique but through my experience, I find, and you too will find, that this approach can be just as effective as traditional therapies and counseling sessions. My name is Dr. Traci Davis-Taylor and I am a DSW, LCSW-R in the state of New York and Connecticut . I earned my Masers Degree in Social Work through GRC-Greater Rochester Collaborative at SUNY Brockport and Nazareth College in addition to earning a Doctorate Degree through the University of Alabama. I have practiced as a Clinical Therapist for the past 16 years. I have experience working in forensic settings with incarcerated individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, stress, adjustment disorders, anger issues, self-esteem issues and personality disorders. I pride myself in practicing the classic technique of meeting individuals where they are at and not passing judgment. My style is compassionate and empathetic yet challenging to allow individuals to look deep within themselves to make the positive changes they seek. Offering a judge free zone allows for effective listening combined with a caring and understanding ear. Not every day is a good day but not every day is a bad day either. Emotions need to be released and in a healthy way. My ear is available for both good and bad days. I am passionate about advocating for those who feel they have no voice, and providing a service to those who may have limited access to care/treatment regardless of the reason. I am open to all forms of communication methods. You are free to message, email, or leave voicemail. I am willing to offer messaging, live chat and phone sessions with availability in the evening and weekends. I look forward to working with you!

Experience: I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a wealth of professional and personal life experiences. I am a native New Yorker, however I received my license in Florida, where I lived for 17 years, and recently relocated to New York City. I served in the US Army and was also a military spouse, which provided me with the opportunity to travel and live in different parts of the US. In addition, to being a veteran and working/supporting military families, I have had the honor to serve as a Hospice Social Worker. Providing End of Life care to individuals, caregivers, and families. That experience prepared me for my role as an Oncology Social Worker. I was afforded the opportunity to administer emotional spiritual support to people diagnosed with various cancers. That was a transformative experience which I will always be grateful for. Currently I am in Private Practice and enjoying the opportunities that remote mental health services grant. Education: I completed my under graduate degree, Bachelor of Science in Occupational Education, with Wayland Baptist University in 2009. I received my Master of Social Work with the University of Central Florida in 2013. With that said, I have continued to develop professionally by attending conferences, workshops, reading journals, consulting with colleagues, reviewing empirical data that supports evidenced based practice, reading books and watching educational videos. Treatment Approach: I create a warm and inviting atmosphere for engaging in the therapeutic process. My style is relaxed, compassionate yet direct. While education and experience are important, there is a creative element to this craft which is where I really shine. I utilize a variety of treatment modalities which include, but are not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and mindfulness. I collaborate with clients to assist them with obtaining their treatment goals via active listening, giving feedback and providing concrete tools that people can exercise in the moment. How I can help: I believe everyone could benefit from some guidance, information, education and additional support. Beginning this process can be a difficult step but an important one. However, once the journey has begun, therapy can have a positive impact on the quality of your life. Whether you are suffering from anxiety/depression, managing relationships, parenting, work related issues, sex/intimacy, gender identity, grief/loss, divorce, trauma, survivorship (Oncology) or just wanting to gain insight into your own behaviors. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!
