Taylor Niese LCSW

I specialize in treating trauma and post-traumatic stress through Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Trauma can leave you feeling on edge, disconnected, or caught in the same painful memories. EMDR helps the brain process these experiences in a new way, reducing emotional intensity and promoting healing. My approach is steady and compassionate, creating a safe space to work through trauma at your own pace.

I specialize in using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support individuals struggling with Borderline Personality Disorder and related emotional regulation challenges. My approach focuses on building skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Together, we work to reduce emotional suffering, strengthen relationships, and create a more stable, fulfilling life.

Grief is a natural and deeply personal response to loss. For many, the intensity lessens over time, but for some, it can remain powerful and disruptive. Through training with Dr. Katherine Shear and the Center for Prolonged Grief, I help individuals better understand their grief, honor their connection with the person who died, and gently find ways to reengage with life while carrying their loss with compassion and meaning.

I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), an evidence-based approach designed to help individuals manage intense emotions, build healthier relationships, and create a life that feels more stable and fulfilling. DBT focuses on developing skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. My approach is supportive and practical, helping clients apply these tools in everyday life.

I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based therapy for trauma and post-traumatic stress. I’ve completed advanced EMDR training and have extensive experience using this approach to help clients safely process distressing memories and regain a sense of control. My goal is to provide a calm, supportive environment where healing feels possible and sustainable.
