Taylor Stocki
Associate Social Worker #108185
Telehealth Only
Medi-Cal Provider
I use a variety of therapeutic orientations. I draw from the psychodynamic perspective, meaning we will work together to discover how your past is influencing your life today, in order to help you increase your self-awareness and reach your goals. We may discover that you are unaware of certain thoughts and feelings. Our discussion of these thoughts and feelings could help you make choices that lead to creating the life you want. I also use strength-based therapy, which identifies and develops your strengths.
You will decide what we talk about, and we will go at your pace. I will be an active participant in the session, offering a different perspective, and providing insight into understanding the way you think and feel.
I have provided therapy to children, teens, adults, families, and groups. I have worked with clients with anxiety, depression, and various kinds of trauma. I also have experience working with clients in domestic violence relationships, as well as with clients who were formerly incarcerated.
My special interests include working with parents who would like support with their children, people who are dealing with long-term health problems, people who are Covid-cautious, and former foster youth.
Currently, I am working with adults, couples, and families, as well as tweens and teens (ages 11+).
If you are interested in talking to me to see if I may be a good match for you, please reach out to me.

Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your therapy sessions will cost. Your fee will be set according to a sliding scale, in collaboration with your therapist, prior to your first counseling session. Total costs depend upon the number of sessions you choose to utilize.
If you have private health insurance and we are not in-network with your plan, please be aware that your costs for therapy may be less by using an in-network provider. This will depend upon your plan's deductible amounts and co-payments. In some cases, counseling at Shine a Light is less costly than using private insurance.
If you hope to use "out of network" benefits through your private insurance, please be aware that many plans will not reimburse for services provided by trainees. Please request an Associate level therapists for out-of-network billing.
