Taylor K. Smith, LMFT, ATR-P
I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Registered Art Therapist (ATR-P), offering online therapy for individuals and couples across California. With over a decade of clinical experience, I support folks navigating anxiety, relationship stress, identity exploration, life transitions, and creative blocks. My approach blends talk therapy and art therapy—grounded in empathy, collaboration, and curiosity. We’ll work at your pace, with your goals at the center.
Who I Am
As a queer and neurodivergent therapist, I know firsthand what it’s like to move through a world that doesn’t always feel made for us. I’m passionate about creating an affirming, shame-free space where LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent folks don’t have to explain the basics or mask who they are.
I graduated from Loyola Marymount University in 2017 with a masters degree in Marital & Family Therapy, specializing in Art Therapy. When I'm not in session, you’ll probably find me in the kitchen cooking something cozy, practicing ASL, or at the beach with my Bernese Mountain Dog—who, despite her snow-loving breed, firmly prefers sand between her paws.
I try to keep joy and a little humor close—both in my life and in the work I do.
My Approach
Therapy with me might look like talking, processing, reflecting—or creating. I integrate evidence-based approaches like DBT, psychodynamic therapy, family systems, attachment theory, and art therapy to support meaningful, personalized growth. I work from a lens that is anti-oppressive, sex-positive, trauma-informed, and deeply affirming of difference. That means honoring your autonomy, respecting your lived experience, and offering therapy that’s collaborative—not prescriptive. I’m here to help you dig deep, confront tough issues, and get real results. Whether you’re exploring your identity, unmasking in new ways, navigating burnout, or just needing a place to land—I’m here with you.
