Welcome
I’m so glad you found your way here. My name is Gabrielle Taylor (she/her) and I am a licensed psychologist and psychoanalyst practicing in Pasadena, CA.
I found my way to clinical psychology by way of communication and theological studies in my undergraduate and graduate work. I found the practice of psychotherapy to be the best avenue to work closely with others who long for a life well-lived.
I am interested in the human pursuits of vitality, compassion, truth, and growth. I've collected a few of my favorite ideas and explanations on this website in case they might also be sources of inspiration to you.
​
I studied at Fuller School of Psychology and the New Center for Psychoanalysis where I teach, sit on the Board of Directors, and am active on many committees. You can read more about my ties to the professional community here.
​
Throughout my career I have also been involved in mental health non-profit organizations where psychology students learn to become therapists and patients who require low fees can find high quality treatment.
If what I have presented here resonates with you, I'd look forward to hearing from you about working together.

Let's face it. We're undone by each other. And if we're not, we're missing something.
