About Curtis Lee Taylor
Professional background
Hello, I am Curtis Taylor, a counselor and the founder of Authentic Wellness & Empowerment. I have my professional counseling licenses in both Pennsylvania (LPC) and Ohio (LPCC). With over two decades of experience in education and human services, I value my opportunity as a counselor to authentically help individuals to help themselves create the life they most want. I collect vintage toys, enjoy roller coasters and water slides, and generally love to have fun!
Approach to Counseling
In case you have not noticed, life is stressful. Like it or not, pain and processing that pain are a part of the deal. Thankfully, even if it is bad, it might not be as bad as you think, and even if it is that bad, it might just be your greatest opportunity for growth. I am here to listen, encourage, and support you. I know life is tough, and I am confident you can and will overcome by accepting what you cannot change and changing what you can. My dream is to work with you, no matter how low or how messy your current situation might be, to see you emerge clear-minded, open-hearted, and with your eyes focused upward on the future you most want for yourself.
We are here to help you
Founding Authentic Wellness & Empowerment is my most recent endeavor in a life of service. I have taught students of any/all backgrounds and served with adults of all experiences and abilities. Counseling is our opportunity to work through your unique situation in a way that creates a breakthrough.
