Meet Taylor Jackson, LCSW, CD

Hi, I'm Taylor.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Full-Spectrum Doula, speaker, educator, and the founder of The Wellness Center.

My passion for this work comes from witnessing both the incredible resilience of individuals and families and the very real gaps that often exist within our healthcare systems. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of supporting clients through some of life's most vulnerable moments, including pregnancy, postpartum, fertility journeys, birth trauma, relationship challenges, grief, anxiety, depression, and identity transitions.

As a therapist specializing in reproductive and perinatal mental health, I believe emotional wellness deserves the same attention as physical health. My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe enough to be honest, curious enough to grow, and empowered enough to build the life they envision.

As a Black woman, I also understand how culture, identity, family, and systemic experiences shape our mental health. I strive to provide care that honors the whole person while remaining inclusive and welcoming to clients from all backgrounds.

My Approach

Therapy isn't about having all the answers.

It's about creating space to ask better questions.

My style is warm, collaborative, and practical. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy, person-centered therapy, trauma-informed care, and Gottman-informed couples therapy. Together, we'll explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, deepen self-understanding, and work toward meaningful, sustainable change.

Whether you're processing a difficult season or preparing for a new chapter, my role isn't to tell you what to do. It's to help you reconnect with your own wisdom and move forward with confidence.
