Taylor Roys, LSW​
Staff Psychotherapist
In-Person and Telehealth
​​
Taylor has enjoyed fine art since she was in elementary school and has practiced yoga and meditation for almost ten years. While not certified to teach yoga or provide art therapy, Taylor hopes that patients who share these interests will feel more understood and empowered to integrate related tools into their therapeutic process. This often looks like utilizing mind-body connection practices, or drawing in session to help calm the nervous system and communicate emotions that may be difficult to verbalize. ​​
​
Taylor is a first-generation college student who received her Bachelor of the Arts in Conservation Biology and her Masters of Social Work with a mental health focus, both from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Although humorously different fields of study, Taylor draws from both fields’ emphasis on a systems perspective in her therapeutic work. This allows her to understand connections and patterns, whether at an individual level, within interpersonal systems or broader societal and political-economic systems. ​
​​
Taylor’s experience in community agencies includes short-term mental health respite for adults, as well as shelter and case management services for youth experiencing homelessness or unsafe home environments. Additionally, Taylor has counseled university students, supporting undergraduate and graduate students navigating life transitions, academic stress, depression and anxiety, loneliness, ADHD/ADD, Autism, OCD, family conflict, disordered eating patterns, identity-exploration, consensual non-monogamy, political stressors, and more. Taylor appreciated her patients’ diverse socio-economic and cultural backgrounds, gender identities, and areas of academic study, and finds such diversity invaluable for her continuing growth as a clinician.
​
Taylor feels strongly that her diverse personal, academic, and professional experiences and interests allow her to recognize and honor each patient’s unique experiences and individual needs in treatment.
​
In Taylor’s free time, she enjoys cuddling her two orange tabby cats, exploring Chicago on bike, painting, and attempting to substitute TV with reading the books she’s collected over the years.
