“Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.”
Brené Brown
I am Dr. Nora Taylor, a clinical psychologist licensed by the California Board of Psychology (PSY27442). I maintain a private practice in the Riviera Village of South Redondo Beach, Ca. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples.
Since 2000, I have a gained clinical experience in California and New York in the areas of mental health and human behavior. I’ve provided a range of services including assessment, crisis intervention, education, and psychotherapy in a wide variety of settings I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and adults from the very high functioning to the severely mentally ill persons, in individual, couple, family, and group modalities, following Evidence-Based Practices, as well as Psychodynamic, Humanistic, and Interpersonal principles.
In addition to my undergraduate and graduate curricular training, I am currently pursuing ongoing specialized training in Mindfulness, as well as Mind and Body-oriented approaches that effectively treat Trauma and emotional dysregulation, including Attachment-based EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.
