Hey y’all! My name is Taylor Barstad and I’m the clinical director at Ellie Mental Health Dripping Springs- South Austin location. I manage day-to-day operations as well as see clients. I would describe my therapeutic style as personable, open, warm, accepting and thoughtful. I will always meet my clients where they’re at and include them while creating a personalized treatment plan.
I have been working in the field since 2018 and have experience serving many different populations and age groups. My primary clinical focus has been centered around EMDR therapy and helping individuals cope with eating disorders, substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, mood disorders, trauma and family work.
When I’m not at the clinic, you can find me out on the golf course or spending time with friends and family! I’m also a dog mom to an adorable and loving golden retriever named Tex!
