About me
Christie Taylor, EdD, LPC-S has 30+ years of experience in leading mental health and substance abuse treatment programs in private and public settings. She has served as the Clinical Director of a psychiatric hospital, CEO of non-profit Substance Use Disorder treatment program, and many positions providing direct mental health and substance use disorder services. She also provided clinical leadership in developing the addiction/ chronic pain program for Memorial Hermann PaRC in Houston. Dr. Taylor has been a Mental Health Counseling/ Psychology adjunct faculty member for over 20 years at the University of St Thomas- Houston, Cameron University in Lawton/Ft Sill, OK and the University of Houston in the Addiction Counseling Training Program.
As a counselor my goal is to earn your trust and then help you clarify your thoughts and feelings that led for you into counseling. My focus will be on your hopes and dreams for your life. If your past is casting shadows on your present, then you and I can focus on ways you would like to put some of the past to rest in the past. As an older substance abuse counselor, my heart lies in the 12-step program. I believe it is a remarkable way to realign our thought-life; and thereby, change our feelings. I am eager to meet you and begin walking your journey with you.
In working with couples it is important to make sure that both individuals are willing to participate. I like to work initially with each individual first and clarify for each individual what they believe needs to be changed within themselves not in the other. And then I like to visit with the couple to see how their own individual goals for change are coming along. I believe that the couple communication can be improved by applying Gottman couple principles.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Christie Taylor. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Dr Christie is like the mum you wish you had. So lovely and caring. Couldn’t be happier
We switched our therapist twice before we found her and stayed with her because she’s great. She’s empathetic and supportive. And doesn’t make one or the other feel bad or uncomfortable. I like her approach of helping us and it has worked and improved our relationship even after the first session. I would definitely recommend her.
Christie is a very caring person and provided great resources during our sections. Highly recommended her to anyone who needs help.
Christie has been an amazing blessing in our lives. I'm thankful that she's here to help us!
Christie is calm and such an excellent listener. she also had a lot of empathy for me and guided me at a time I needed most. what i valued the most was that she was intuitive about my situation and was able to help me get through it. Thank you!
