Taylor Ridenour MA, LMHC
Psychotherapist
My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that we heal within relationships. I hold such deep compassion for the ways of being and patterns of protection that we all develop on our journey of being human. My hope is that within our therapeutic relationship, you have an experience where you feel deep in your bones that you, in all your humanness, are welcome with me. Your hurts, longings, and shame deserve to be held within a relationship that can provide understanding and soothing. You’ll find that I am warm, engaged, and relational in my approach. Together, we’ll practice holding both the heavy and light of being alive in this world—offering a mix of empathy, curiosity, understanding, compassion, gentle honesty, delight, and humor.
Throughout our lives, we develop patterns of being and relating that often leave us feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, anxious, or blocked from experiencing the fullness of life and relationships in the ways we long for. Therapy provides an opportunity to build insight into the patterns you’ve developed and a place to practice new patterns of being with yourself and your important others.Together, we’ll work to deepen your connection to yourself, access and follow the wisdom of your emotions, expand meaning-making and responsiveness to experiences, and cultivate new patterns of being that allow you to feel more fully engaged in life and at home within yourself and your relationships
I received my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling from Gonzaga University. I am guided in my work by the beliefs that we are wired for relationships, engaging our emotions is vital to our sense of self worth, and awareness of the body in counseling plays an essential role in the healing process. I have received additional training in Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Somatic practices (including PolyVagal Theory).
I work with adult individuals and relationships (couples, parents and their children (13+), friendships, etc.). The reasons for seeking therapy that I work with most are anxiety, depression, grief & loss, self-esteem/self-worth, attachment trauma, and relationship support. I welcome clients of all identities.

“How
Did the rose
Ever open its heart
And give to this world
All it’s
Beauty?
It felt the encouragement of light
Against its
Being.
Otherwise,
We all remain
Too
Frightened.”
— It Felt Love – Hafiz
