Personal difficulties can be very disheartening. Whether you are experiencing emotional pain, are seeing your children struggle to make good decisions, or are longing for a greater sense of well-being, you can be left feeling defeated, helpless and angry. But things can get better. As a clinical therapist, I am experienced in working with those who are facing life’s struggles. Together we can explore the source of the problems, set goals to improve your situation, and lay out steps to reach those goals. All that is needed is a commitment to work toward making things better, and a belief that you are not stuck in the muck of today. I am a graduate of Notre Dame, and hold a Master's degree in clinical counseling. I love helping people and have a warm approach, but am also known to challenge people to take active steps toward improvement and a happier life. Truly things can get better once you take the first steps, and I would be happy to help you reach your goals of improved happiness, success and joy.

Hello! I am glad that you have chosen Better Help to guide you through whatever difficult situation that you are facing. My name is Chad Taylor, and I am originally from Illinois where I was born and raised for the first 38 years of my life. I spent my time right out of high school working for the Illinois Department of Corrections then decided to go back to school to pursue a new career. I graduated from Western Illinois University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology. After I graduated, I thought about going into ministry, but I decided to pursue counseling. I continued my education through Lincoln Christian University, and graduated in 2015 with a Masters Degree in Counseling. I operate out of Cognitive Behavioral Framework with Motivational Interviewing. I have also been certified in Anger Management with the National Anger Management Association. I spent the first two years after graduation working in the community mental health field. Then I spent two years as a Clinical Therapist at the Illinois Department of Human Services Treatment and Detention Facility where I worked with sexually violent persons who were civilly committed under the Illinois Civil Commitment Act. After my time there I decided to go back to community mental health. When on a vacation to Wisconsin Dells I decided to look for a counseling job in Wisconsin and through a series of events and numerous trips to the area I was hired and moved to the area in March of 2019, and I have loved every minute of it. In my spare time I like to hangout with my family, read, play chess and watch football. I look forward to meeting with you and helping you on your journey.
