Jalisa Taylor, LMSW

Hi, my name is Jalisa, and I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in both New York and Texas. I understand that starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and comfortable showing up just as you are. I’m deeply passionate about supporting mental wellness and providing care to individuals who may have felt unheard, overlooked, or underserved in other spaces.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Black Studies and Psychology from SUNY New Paltz, and my Master’s in Social Work from NYU, where I also focused on substance use. My educational background, combined with my professional experience, has allowed me to work with a diverse range of individuals navigating complex life experiences.

Throughout my work, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals facing housing instability, substance use challenges, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions, including reentry after incarceration. I also have experience working with individuals managing co-occurring mental health concerns. I recognize that each person’s journey is unique, and I take care to tailor my approach to meet your specific needs, goals, and lived experiences.

My approach is warm, empathetic, nonjudgmental, and culturally responsive. I believe in meeting you where you are and creating a collaborative space where you feel respected, understood, and empowered. Together, we can explore what’s been weighing on you, build on your strengths, and develop tools to help you navigate challenges with greater confidence and clarity.

I truly look forward to connecting with you and supporting you on your journey toward healing, growth, and overall well-being.
