Accepting new patients

No ratings to display.

Why aren't there any ratings?

There is no publicly available rating for this care provider for one of three reasons:

  1. They do not see patients.
  2. They see patients but have not yet received the minimum number of patient experience reviews. To be eligible for display, we require a minimum of 30 surveys. This ensures that the rating is statistically reliable and an accurate reflection of patient experience.
  3. They see patients but do not see enough patients to collect a statistically-reliable patient experience rating.

About me

I’m Taylor Smithey, a perinatal mental health therapist and licensed clinical social worker. My focus areas include perinatal mood and anxiety disorder, perinatal grief/loss, and traumatic birth.

I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems Therapy, Grief/Loss Therapy, and Mindfulness.

In my patient care, I emphasize a trauma-informed, client-centered, and anti-oppressive approach. I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all method, as each person comes with their own unique experiences and identities. I strive to meet clients where they are on their mental health journey, providing an empathetic and safe space to explore their goals.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, including my two dogs, Maxine and Winston. I love reading historical fiction, listening to music (especially attending concerts), crafting, watching crime documentaries, traveling, and being in nature or near water. I also spend a lot of my time working on DIY house projects.

Insurance

Before scheduling your appointment, we recommend you contact your insurance company to verify that the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is included in your network. Your insurance company will also be able to inform you of any copayments, co–insurance, or deductibles that will be your responsibility. If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with OHSU providers, your out of pocket liability may be higher. Visit the billing and insurance section of our site for more information.
