About
Delving into the depths of the human psyche with a refreshing and challenging approach, Ethan Taylor offers a unique therapeutic experience centered on emotional exploration and profound personal growth. As a licensed professional counselor associate at Jill Smith & Associates, Ethan specializes in longer-term treatment aimed at extensive personality change, working with clients ranging from teenagers to older adults.
Ethan's therapeutic approach is fundamentally psychodynamic and emotionally focused, setting it apart from more traditional methods. He believes that the key to healing lies within the psychotherapy relationship itself. Through this shared experience, clients gain invaluable insights that reverberate throughout all facets of their lives, leading to transformative change.
With a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lenoir-Rhyne University and a Bachelor of Science in Political Science from Appalachian State University, Ethan brings a strong academic foundation to his practice. His post-graduate clinical training in Emotionally-Focused Family Therapy from the Atlanta Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy further enhances his ability to work with complex family dynamics.
Ethan's clinical expertise spans a wide range of areas, including personality problems, anxiety and depression, dissociative disorders, and trauma-related disorders. He also specializes in gender identity issues and is particularly adept at working with LGBTQ+ clients. Additionally, Ethan has experience in treating individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as those who have suffered traumatic brain injuries.
In Ethan's therapy sessions, clients can expect a thoughtful, open, and transformative experience. While he cannot provide a complete roadmap for the therapy process, as it evolves in unexpected and interesting ways, Ethan guarantees a space for working through life's big questions that is uniquely tailored to each individual. His approach invites clients to become deeply intimate with themselves, fostering a journey of self-discovery and personal growth that extends far beyond the therapy room.
