Dr. Taylor Dove,
PhD, LPC-MHSP
Helping adults find balance, clarity, and lasting growth.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP), Board Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, and Certified Anger Management Specialist with over 10 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and groups.
My path to becoming a therapist began unexpectedly. I originally studied music at Middle Tennessee State University, but after taking a psychology course, I found my true calling, helping people understand themselves, heal, and grow. That decision led me to earn both my Master’s and Doctorate in Counseling and Psychology from Trevecca Nazarene University.
Teaching & Learning
Philosophy
I’m passionate about lifelong learning and have taught as an adjunct professor at Trevecca University, Johnson University, and Argosy University. I regularly pursue advanced training in EMDR, CBT, CPT, and other approaches so I can offer the most effective, research-based care possible.
Therapeutic Training & Modalities
The best part of what I do is being a catalyst for change.
My work is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration. I believe therapy should be a space for honest reflection, skill-building, and hope, where clients can reconnect with themselves and move toward a more meaningful life.
My work integrates a range of evidence-based approaches to best meet each
client’s needs.
I draw from:
​
-
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
-
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
-
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-
Schema Therapy
-
Ego State Therapy
​
By combining these modalities, I can adapt therapy to each person’s goals and unique story. This flexibility allows for meaningful progress, whether you’re healing from trauma, improving emotional regulation, or working to strengthen relationships.
My training allows me to support clients across a wide range of challenges, including:
Trauma & PTSD
Healing from distressing experiences and building resilience
Anxiety & Panic attacks
Reducing worry, calming racing thoughts, and restoring balance
Depression & Loss
Reconnecting with hope, motivation, and a renewed sense of meaning.
Anger & Emotional regulation
Learning healthy ways to understand, manage, and express anger.
Attachment & Relationships
Strengthening communication, trust, and emotional connection.
Life Transitions & Stress
Building healthy coping skills to manage change and reduce overwhelm.
