WHO IS TAYLOR J. LANGLEY?
You can call me Dr. T.
​
First and foremost, I am a human being. Just like you.
I believe healing, growth, and high performance begin with honoring our shared humanity. ​
​
​I am a counseling and sport psychologist* with a deep commitment to Black mental health, athlete mental health, sport & performance psychology, masculinity, and the lived experiences of Black student-athletes and high-performing individuals. My work sits at the intersection of mental health, performance, identity, and systems, and I am especially passionate about reducing stigma, advancing equity, and supporting individuals navigating high-pressure environments while carrying complex identities. ​
​
My academic training includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Florida State University, a Master of Science in Experimental Psychology from Georgia Southern University, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Counseling Psychology from Auburn University. I completed my APA-Accredited predoctoral internship in Health Service Psychology at Oregon State University's Counseling & Psychological Services, with an emphasis in sport psychology. I'm also a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. ​

​
My therapeutic approach is integrative, relational, and culturally responsive. I primarily draw from Relational-Cultural Theory (RCT) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), pairing evidence-based skill-building with a deep respect for connection, context, and lived experience. I view therapy as a collaborative process, one where clients are the experts of their own lives, and my role is to walk alongside them, helping make meaning of the relationship between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, performance, and systems that impact their well-being.
​
As a clinician, educator, and advocate, I work to support both individual healing and systemic awareness. I help clients build resilience, self-trust, emotional regulation, and psychological flexibility while also naming and navigating the inequities and pressures that shape their experiences. My goal is to provide high quality, trauma-informed, multiculturally competent care rooted in warmth, honesty, empathy, and accountability.
​
I have experience working with adults with severe mental illness, college students, collegiate athletes and teams, and high performers across settings. I also regularly facilitate workshops, trainings, and presentations focused on performance, mental health and wellness.
​
At my core, I am a system disruptor, healer, and truth-teller, always willing to get into good, necessary trouble. I thrive in spaces that value autonomy, integrity, and care, and that support the creation of more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and psychologically safe environments.
​
One of my guiding philosophies is simple: "live out your truth, no matter what that looks like."
I value vulnerability, transparency, and authenticity, and I strive to show up as my full, authentic self, inviting and empowering my clients to do the same.
Simply put, I help people become their best selves by feeling better, functioning better, and performing better without losing themselves in the process.
