About Dr. Christie Taylor
Dr. Christie Taylor brings three decades of leadership and hands-on clinical experience to her work with individuals and families. She focuses on helping people clarify the thoughts and feelings that led them to counseling and supports them in defining their hopes and goals for life. When past events are affecting present well-being, she works collaboratively to identify practical ways to process and, when desired, set some of that history aside so clients can move forward.
Her professional background spans leadership and direct care in both mental health and substance use treatment across private and public settings. She has led programs as a clinical director at psychiatric hospitals across the continuum of care from acute inpatient to outpatient counseling, served as CEO of nonprofit addiction treatment services, and provided direct counseling for a wide range of mental health and addiction concerns. She also contributed clinical leadership to the development of an addiction and chronic pain program for Memorial Hermann PaRC in Houston.
In addition to program leadership and clinical practice, Dr. Taylor has two decades of experience as an adjunct faculty member in mental health and addiction education, teaching at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Cameron University in Lawton/Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, and the University of Houston's Addiction Counseling Training Program. She has many years of experience working with children and a particular interest in supporting adolescents whose parents are affected by alcoholism or addiction.
Dr. Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC, a credential that indicates formal licensure and training in counseling practice. She blends individual and group psychotherapy with a passion for the change process, and she views recovery and abstinence from mood-altering substances as important pathways to realigning thinking and emotional well-being. She welcomes new clients and is prepared to walk alongside individuals as they pursue meaningful change.
