Stephanie Taylor, LCPC
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
Chicago IL
I view therapy as a sacred partnership—one where we work together to understand your story, clarify your goals, and uncover what’s keeping you stuck. Whether you’re carrying unresolved trauma, navigating grief, or simply craving more joy and alignment in your life, I’m here to walk beside you.
I offer an integrative, whole-person approach that blends talk therapy with powerful mind-body tools like clinical hypnosis, mindfulness, and somatic awareness. I also provide Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), along with psychedelic preparation and integration services. These approaches help bypass surface-level defenses and access deeper healing at the subconscious level.
Sessions are personalized and intuitive. Some clients come seeking clarity and direction. Others are working through long-term patterns, inner child wounds, or spiritual crises. Whatever you’re facing, we’ll create a pace and process that supports you fully—no pressure, no judgment.
I specialize in working with adults facing trauma (including childhood and complex PTSD), grief, depression, anxiety, and existential distress. My style is affirming, warm, and deeply human. I believe you are not broken—you are becoming.
Most of all, I aim to help you feel safe in your own body, confident in your voice, and connected to a life that feels meaningful.
I specialize in trauma-informed, heart-centered care for adults navigating complex trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and existential distress. My work is grounded in the belief that healing is not only possible—it’s your birthright. With advanced training in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), I support clients in accessing deep states of healing and transformation by integrating altered states of consciousness with traditional talk therapy.
In addition to my work with ketamine, I offer preparation and integration services for clients engaging in other forms of psychedelic-assisted therapy. Whether you’re processing a recent experience or seeking support before an upcoming journey, I provide a safe, grounded space for reflection and insight. My goal is to help you carry the lessons of non-ordinary states back into your everyday life with meaning, clarity, and stability.
I also bring extensive experience in clinical hypnosis, mindfulness-based practices, and somatic techniques. These approaches allow us to go beyond talk therapy and work directly with the body and subconscious mind—often unlocking clarity and healing that words alone can’t reach.
My style is holistic and integrative. Together, we’ll combine evidence-based tools, spiritual insight, and your own inner wisdom to restore balance and reconnect with a sense of purpose. I meet you where you are, and walk beside you as you grow into the fullest expression of yourself.
If you’re curious about psychedelic-assisted therapy, looking for support in your integration journey, or simply ready to feel more at home in your body and your life—I would be honored to work with you.
Our offerings are designed to support deep, lasting change. Whether you're navigating trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, or a desire for more purpose and self-connection, we provide integrative, evidence-based programs that honor your unique journey.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
In collaboration with Journey Clinical, we offer KAP to help address treatment-resistant depression, trauma, and existential challenges. This modality combines the neuroplastic benefits of ketamine with psychotherapy in a supportive, structured setting. We offer preparation, dosing, and integration sessions to ensure a safe and meaningful experience.
Clinical Hypnosis & Self-Hypnosis Coaching
Hypnosis offers a powerful pathway into the subconscious mind, helping clients release deeply rooted patterns and build new beliefs. From stress and anxiety to trauma and behavioral shifts, this gentle modality supports profound healing. We also teach self-hypnosis tools for ongoing empowerment between sessions.
Psychedelic Preparation & Integration
For individuals exploring psychedelic medicines in legal or ceremonial contexts, we offer skilled support before and after your experience. Preparation helps you clarify your intentions, and integration ensures you bring insights into everyday life. We specialize in complex trauma and offer grounded, nonjudgmental guidance.
Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy
Blending traditional talk therapy with breathwork, meditation, somatic awareness, and emotional regulation tools, this approach supports clarity, calm, and connection. Ideal for individuals seeking holistic healing, personal growth, or spiritual alignment.
Each program can stand alone or be combined into a personalized plan to meet your needs.
