About Gail Taylor

Gail describes herself as a general practitioner because she works with all members of the family unit, and she frequently meets with couples who want to strengthen communication and improve connection.
Gail emphasizes that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. She collaborates with each client to identify the key event or primary issue that brought them in, then develops practical goals so progress can be noticed in day-to-day life.
