Taylor Cooper
Registered Clinical Social Work Intern
Hello and welcome! My name is Taylor, and I recently relocated to the sunny shores of Florida from the Midwest.
While earning my master’s in social work, I discovered my passion for working with older adults and individuals grappling with chronic conditions and other major life changes. Throughout my career, I've recognized the immense value in providing support to individuals facing life's challenges and the caregivers dedicated to their well-being. Burnout is a prevalent issue in various aspects of our lives, whether in our professions or personal endeavors. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and isolated, with no one to truly understand the weight of our experiences.
In addition to my specialization, I have extensive experience working with people of all ages. I welcome clients of all backgrounds and ages to schedule a consultation with me. Whether you're an older adult, a young adult, or somewhere in between, I am here to support you on your journey.
If you're seeking a compassionate ally on your journey towards self-discovery and growth, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
