Jeffrey Taynton, LMFT

Jeffrey Taynton is a California-licensed LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) with nine years of experience working with children, teens, and adults. He creates a space where people feel valued, understood, and accepted, believing that a foundation of trust and rapport makes meaningful change possible. Jeffrey emphasizes the connection between thought, feeling, and action, guiding clients to develop greater insight and practical strategies to shift patterns in daily life.

His work focuses on helping individuals address depression and self-esteem concerns while also supporting those dealing with unresolved trauma, difficulty accessing or regulating emotion, relationship challenges, and communication problems. Additional areas of attention include guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, men’s issues, midlife transitions, and mood disorders. To tailor care, he draws from Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and EMDR, selecting interventions that match each person’s needs.

Jeffrey prioritizes concrete plans for applying new skills between sessions, aiming to equip clients with tools they can use outside the therapy room. He approaches therapy as a collaborative partnership and considers it a privilege to support people as they work toward a more satisfying and manageable life.
