My name is Tina Taylor and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.  I have worked with children and adolescents for over 28 years in many different capacities. I am currently working as a School Social Worker for Sweetwater County School District #1, and practice at Root to Rise part-time.  My passion has always been working with children and adolescents; helping them learn how to manage their thoughts, feelings and behavior, in our difficult and ever-changing world. I believe that all children deserve to feel safe, happy, and supported. The way I approach outpatient counseling is to focus on helping individuals understand how their thoughts, feelings and behaviors are all related and empowering them to work on making positive changes so that they can be happy and healthy.  They truly do have this ability, but they just might not be aware of how to make it happen.  I can help.  The age group I prefer to work with is between 5-18, with an emphasis on those who have ADHD, anxiety, anger management issues, impulse control, autism and/or depression.  My style tends to include teaching, practicing behavior management activities and ideas; as well as "playing" during our time together.  In my free time you will find me taking my dog, Tucker, for a walk, reading, traveling, and enjoying time with my grandchildren.
