Therapists in Spartanburg, SC

My passion is helping people build healthy and meaningful lives. I am a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist trained by Dr. Patrick Carnes, the pioneer in the field of sex addiction. I have extensive experience working with individuals struggling with all forms of addictions and compulsive behaviors including: sex, pornography, drugs, alcohol, food, work, spending, codependent relationships, etc. I use Attachment-Focused EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Lifespan Integration to help people become free from underlying relational/attachment wounds.

I am Dr. Ken Taylor, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPCS) and a Certified Sexual Addictions Therapist (CSAT). My life's journey has been a testament to the power of resilience, recovery, and transformation. From a young age, I navigated a highly sexualized world, marked by traumatic experiences that profoundly impacted my life. Five individuals, entrusted with my trust, left scars that ran deep. I understand the complexities of sexual addiction, trauma, and the pursuit of an elusive perfection. My struggle with sexual addiction and a relentless drive for perfection led me down a treacherous path.

Life is often hard, no matter who you are. The story of our lives are filled with moments and seasons of challenge, change, and confusion. Life is filled with many deeply transformative experiences, for both good and bad. Thus, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Especially if we feel like there are few people who can offer meaningful help. Fortunately, life also offers significant positive growth and healing opportunities. These opportunities can create a pathway, orienting us toward the direction we want to go. That's when we begin to better position ourselves to experience the outcomes in life we hope to achieve.
