Taylor C. Cole, LCSW-C

Clinical Director

Greenbelt

I’m the Owner and Founder of Choice Clinical Services (CCS) and a practicing therapist on staff. My hope is that CCS provides honest connections and ethical care to all folks seeking support. I received my Masters in Social Work from the University of Maryland in 2009. I’m a licensed social worker in Maryland and Michigan and a board certified supervisor in Maryland.

I’m not one to use fancy, professional jargon or to pretend to be an expert on you or your experience. Life is hard and being a human can be messy. I see therapy as a place to process, vent, explore, gain some understanding and insight and feel supported. I’m ok with being told I’m wrong about something, but I will also challenge you if it feels appropriate.

I’m passionate about LGBTQIA+ affirming care and Neurodivergent affirming care. I’m pro feedom over one’s self, in all the ways one chooses to assert their freedom. While I’m open to meeting and working with anyone who feels I’m a good fit for them, I’m most passionate about working with college aged folks & women.

I’m licensed in Maryland and Michigan and am available for telehealth/virtual services only.
