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
