Dr Kathleen Taylor

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“I am highly trained in working with people with borderline personality disorder, PTSD, and the disorders that accompany these disorders.”

About Me

When complex emotions and past trauma feel overwhelming, finding clarity can be tough. As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I am highly trained to support those navigating Borderline Personality Disorder, PTSD, and their linked challenges. I offer a compassionate space to explore these interconnected experiences. We will work collaboratively to understand your struggles. My aim is to help you find stability and build lasting coping skills. This integrated approach can bring real change and calm to daily life.

Approach

Because trauma-linked patterns and intense emotions can scramble everyday life, I shape sessions with predictable structure and attentive curiosity so you feel safer exploring difficult material. In my New York office or over secure telehealth in English, I keep sessions focused and paced—mixing short, practical skill work with deeper reflective moments—and I often set small between-session experiments to build confidence. Progress is tracked in concrete, achievable steps so shifts become visible. This approach fits people wanting steady, collaborative support for complex trauma and relational struggles.
