Congratulations! You have taken the first step toward enhancing the quality of your life. The next step in the process is choosing a therapist who is the best fit for you.
My Background and Experience:
My name is Dina Taylor. I am a licensed Marriage, Family, Child Therapist in the state of California.
For the past twenty-nine years I have been providing therapy for individuals, couples (traditional and non-traditional), families, groups, and Deaf/Hard of Hearing clients (I am fluent in American Sign Language). Along with maintaining a private practice, I have spent the last twelve years supervising and educating interns who are training to become licensed therapists.
I have received feedback from clients over the years that traditional therapy in a therapist's office can feel a bit formal. About fifteen years ago, I took the advice of my clients, broke with tradition, and began to offer clients therapy sessions in the comfort of their own homes and apartments. The responses I received were overwhelmingly positive. I now primarily provide in-home therapy both in-person and online.
I work collaboratively with clients using solution-focused modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, developing and enhancing coping skills, and learning healthy communication techniques. I work alongside my clients to assist them in defining their goals, taking steps to meet those goals, and finding ways to adapt and find meaning in life's challenges.
I look forward to meeting you, supporting you, and helping you achieve your goals!

Dina's the first counselor I've ever had, and she made me feel so comfortable. The sessions I've had with her have been so insightful. She's helped me unpack and understand SO much, and she's also given me tools and techniques to navigate all these challenges. She's amazingly patient, genuine, and insightful. I would EASILY recommend her to anyone. Thank you Dina!

I am a first timer for counseling so I was scared but Dina was very easy to talk to and quickly got me talking. She helped me and my girlfriend get through some life changes and communication issues. Thanks Dina for your help!

Dina is amazing. She's been profoundly helpful and continually offered treasured wisdom, insight, and compassion through apocalyptic times. I've got no complaints, and also have nothing more I could ask for from a therapist! Huge gift!

Dina is a great counselor. She really takes the time to talk with you, try to understand you and what you’re going through, and then provide tools to help you out in the “real world”. She is kind and makes each session comfortable and flow.
