Heather Taylor-Lively

Heather Taylor-Lively provides specialized counseling for individuals, couples, and families navigating complex neurodevelopmental and emotional challenges. She offers targeted support for those managing ADHD, Autism, and behavioral issues, as well as trauma-related concerns such as PTSD, domestic abuse, and sexual abuse. Her practice is deeply committed to inclusivity, serving diverse populations including LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent clients, and those navigating racial justice and identity-based stressors.

Utilizing a somatic-informed and neurobiological lens, Heather integrates Depth Psychology, Attachment Theory, and Jungian theory to address how early bonds and bodily imprints shape current patterns. This approach is particularly effective for clients dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, and the complexities of trauma recovery. Her therapeutic environment is designed to be a space of deep safety where the body and unconscious patterns can be understood and regulated.

Heather offers both in-person and telehealth services in Santa Barbara, CA, and is currently accepting new clients. She provides a complimentary 15-minute consultation to explore how her approach can meet your specific needs. For families and individuals, she accepts Aetna, Anthem, and CenCal insurance, and accepts various payment methods including Visa, Mastercard, and Zelle. Individual sessions are priced at $180.
