About
Taylor Rose Harris, LPCC #14690
Hi! I’m Taylor.
I didn’t become a therapist because I felt particularly healed, enlightened, or certain about anything. I pursued this career because I was (and still am) obsessed with understanding what the hell I’m doing here, what it actually means to be human, and why so many of us feel like we’re doing it wrong.
I’ve spent years questioning my own roles, identities, and motivations. Wondering whether what I was doing was real or just another performance. Sitting with discomfort instead of trying to spiritualize it away. Letting certainty fall apart. Letting old versions of myself burn off when they stopped being honest.
That process is still in process, and shapes how I work.
I’m not here to present myself as someone who has it all figured out. I’m here as someone who takes being human seriously, and who’s willing to look directly at what’s actually happening rather than smoothing it over.
How I show up
I show up as a human being who’s paying attention.
Not just to what you say, but to how your body responds as you say it. Not just to insight, but to tension, silence, humor, confusion, avoidance, and moments when something feels alive or uncomfortable or hard to name.
I don’t rush past uncertainty. I don’t try to tranquilize it. And I don’t pretend neutrality.
Sometimes the work is quiet. Sometimes it’s confronting. Sometimes it’s playful, absurd, or surprisingly light. There’s room here for seriousness and silliness, for grief and laughter, for not knowing what you’re going to do next (or if doing is even required at all).
What I care about in this work
I’m drawn to people who are asking questions… lots of questions. Big and small. About anything from identity, direction, meaning, relationships, creativity, to the roles they’ve been living inside of.
I’ve learned that often times the distress people bring into the room isn’t a problem to fix, but a signal that something wants attention. Anxiety, restlessness, numbness, existential dread, creative blocks, and relational patterns often make a lot of sense when you stop treating them as pathology and start listening to what they’re responding to.
This work is less about healing as an outcome and more about learning how to stay present with yourself when things get uncomfortable, confusing, or honest.
