Tomi has been wonderful. She really listens and understands me. When unpacking the trauma I want to let go of, she helped me visualize it leaving my body and putting on a shelf. Never to be opened again. Once that trauma left my body, I felt a sense of relief. I look forward to more sessions with her.

More about Tomi

  • 9 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC, LCPC

I have a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, Accredited Triple P Provider, Certified AutPlay® Therapy Provider, EMDR trained therapist and Theraplay trained therapist. I am also a member of the American Psychological Association and the Autistic Self Advocacy Network.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My experience includes working with families in crisis, working with autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, neurodevelopmental disorders, behavioral disorders, mood disorders, adjustment disorders, traumatic stress disorders, and chronic and terminal medical conditions. I provide a variety of therapeutic options, such as sandtray therapy, play therapy, and mindfulness-based services, family-focused therapy, and teletherapy.

I have several years post graduate experience work counseling children and adults, as well as 15 years of experience working specifically within the autistic community. I have served as a case manager, resource coordinator, and client advocate for children and parents. I currently offer therapeutic and educational services at my clinic in Springfield, Missouri and online.

I am well aware of the conflicts that can occur when trying to work therapy and other appointments in around a busy work/school/family schedule. I am committed to providing therapeutic services during evening and weekend hours to help clients avoid as many unnecessary conflicts to gaining mental health care access as possible.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Tomi is an excellent therapist. She has helped me gain knowledge, prospective and confidence in my decision to leave my 35 year marriage to a covert narcissist. I knew something was not right, but as with many people involved with the challenges of this personality type, you feel as if YOU are a crazy person. The most difficult thing I’ve ever done is evolving into the best thing I’ve ever done.I fully credit the positive outcome of this life change to Tomi. Compassionate, wise, knowledgeable, patient, supportive, empathic, balanced with a sprinkle of good humor. That’s Tomi.

I came to BetterHelp in desperation to answer one question. After 35 years of marriage, was I loosing my mind? Under the care of Tomi Taylor I am getting so much more than one answer. I am learning the answers to some of the most important questions I have about myself, my marriage, my belief system and all that I was programmed to believe as a child, but has not served me well in this present moment. I’m on my way to the knowing. Tomi is a gifted therapist. She is intuitive, kind, light hearted, wise and truthful. I have worked with other therapist before who have doctorate degrees. Tomi is the first person that I have connected with that I feel is truly present with me. I am thrilled with my progress. She is a worthy keeper of your story. .
