Whitney with her dog Tilly

Hi there. I’m so glad you are here!

My name is Whitney Taylor, and I am the founder of Sage & Sonder Psychotherapy and Wellness.

I couldn’t be more thrilled that you’ve found your way to my practice. My heart is filled with gratitude knowing you’re exploring the possibility of partnering with me to make your therapeutic experience uniquely your own.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families who are navigating the tender terrain of trauma, relational wounds, and the often unspoken ache for connection. Whether you’re burnt out, overwhelmed, longing for a different way of being, or just tired of pretending everything’s “fine”, you’re in the right place.

My work as a therapist is dedicated to helping others feel and foster a sense of connection and care when they are in my presence. I came into this profession after a transformative experience of my own in therapy and have never looked back. I aim to encourage autonomy, self-confidence, and choice in every step of the therapy process. I integrate trauma-informed care and education into our time together, and I provide a soft, secure place to land when the process feels overwhelming or uncertain.

The journey of therapy has the potential to bring up deep curiosities, questions, grief, hope, and more. If that’s true for you, I want you to know that I’ll be with you each step of the way. I welcome all of it. The messy. The tender. The joyful. The whole of you.

Whether you're brand new to therapy or a seasoned pro with a favorite spot on the couch, you are welcome here. Come as you are. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to begin.

I’m honored to walk beside you.
