Tomi Taylor, LPC, LCPC

Tomi Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology. She is also a National Certified Counselor, an Accredited Triple P Provider (a practitioner trained in the Positive Parenting Program), a Certified AutPlay® Therapy Provider, and an EMDR-trained and Theraplay-trained therapist. She is a member of the American Psychological Association and the Autistic Self Advocacy Network.

She works with children, adolescents, adults, and families, drawing on experience supporting families in crisis and people navigating autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, neurodevelopmental and behavioral concerns, mood and adjustment difficulties, traumatic stress, and chronic or terminal medical conditions. Her work includes a range of therapy options, including sandtray therapy, play therapy, mindfulness-based services, family-focused therapy, and teletherapy, allowing care to be tailored to developmental needs, learning styles, and day-to-day demands.

In addition to several years of post-graduate counseling experience with children and adults, she brings 15 years of experience working within the autistic community. Her background also includes roles as a case manager, resource coordinator, and client advocate for children and parents. She provides therapeutic and educational services online and at her clinic in Springfield, Missouri, and she is mindful of how difficult it can be to fit therapy and other appointments into busy work, school, and family schedules. To reduce barriers to access, she is committed to offering evening and weekend availability.
