Taylor Tessendore

History

For the last fifteen years, she has mentored, taught, and counseled culturally diverse children and adolescents. Her clinical therapy experience consists of individual, family, and child therapy holding space for others to feel safe, seen, and heard, thus allowing their hearts to open towards the path of inner freedom.

Specialties

Bridging Eastern and Western practices, she integrates transpersonal psychology, Buddhist psychology, neuroscience, yoga, meditation, and deep ecology into her collaborative approach. She specializes in Spiritually Transformative Experiences (STEs), helping people transition for pre-retreat and post-retreat to integrate their experiences into daily life, and those seeking solace around loss. Taylor is seasoned in cultivating and designing sacred spaces to turn inward through ritual opening our connection, nourishing our bodies, and releasing a river of creative energy. Taylor's intimate relationship with death and dying became the catalyst to developing a therapy style she calls Cit-Centered Therapy, a soul-centered approach, which is rooted in the heart-mind, and deeper Self. It's based around cultivating a space for the deepest part of our being to heal intergenerational trauma, grief, and suffering. She is grounded in her path to bring loving awareness to the parts of ourselves often held with judgment or shame transmuting pain into something illuminating.
