Monarch Wellness and Psychotherapy clinician Taylor Rapuano, LPC
 

Taylor Rapuano is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in the state of Maryland who provides in-person and telehealth services to individuals and families. Taylor is passionate about providing clients evidence-based care and draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), self-compassion, and mindfulness practices.

Specialties

Taylor specializes in:

  • eating disorders

  • disordered relationships with food and movement

  • body image

  • substance use

  • relationship issues

  • depression

  • anxiety

  • trauma

  • PTSD

She is equally passionate about cultural competence in psychotherapy—especially for members of marginalized communities—as well as LGBTQIA+ issues. She uses a Non-Diet, Health at Every Size (HAES) approach to recovery from eating disorders and disordered eating.

Taylor has clinical experience across diverse client populations and treatment settings; most recently as an outpatient therapist working with clients using a comprehensive DBT approach. Prior to that, she was a primary therapist at The Renfrew Center treating women and adolescents with eating disorders in partial-hospitalization and intensive outpatient levels of care. She also has extensive experience working with adult and adolescent substance use clients with a wide range of co-occurring diagnoses at both partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient levels of care.

Taylor works from a humanistic, feminist perspective, and recognizes the importance of examining social, political, and intergenerational contexts and how these factors impact individuals in the present moment. She views her clients as the experts on their own experience and therapy as a space to guide individuals towards a deeper connection to their own innate strength, power, and wisdom.

She received her BA degree in psychology from North Park University in Chicago, and her Masters degree in Addiction Counseling (Integrated Recovery for Co-Occurring Disorders) from the Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies.
