What to Expect at Your First Appointment

​

Your first appointment  at Harborside Health and Wellness is a welcoming and collaborative experience designed to help you feel heard, understood, and supported. Taylor brings warmth, clinical expertise, and a deep commitment to holistic, family-centered care. Whether you’re seeking support for a child, adolescent, or yourself, the focus will be on getting to know the whole person.

​

During the initial visit, Taylor will take time to understand your concerns, mental health history, developmental background, and goals. She’ll explore whether medication may be a helpful part of your care, and also consider a range of other supports, such as therapy, behavioral strategies, and community resources. Her approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and tailored to each individual’s needs and developmental stage.

​

If your child is the patient, you can expect Taylor to work closely with you as a caregiver and, when appropriate, collaborate with schools or other providers to create a comprehensive treatment plan. She understands the importance of caregiver involvement and values your insights every step of the way.

​

Taylor’s goal is to build trust, provide clarity, and empower you to make informed choices. You’ll leave the appointment with a shared understanding of next steps and a care plan that respects your values, priorities, and unique story.
