Lauren E. Taylor, LMFT
Practice Founder and Clinical Director
EMDR and DBT certified
Licensed in CA, OK and NV
I started Rooted Survivors because I kept hearing the same painful story: a well-meaning but under-trained therapist had missed the signs of abuse, blamed a survivor, or encouraged compromise in a coercive relationship. You deserve care from someone who understands the nuances of abuse and helps you to feel safe again.
I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist in California, Oklahoma, and Nevada, an EMDR and DBT certified clinician, founder and clinical director of Rooted Survivors. For more than a decade, I’ve supported people navigating trauma, family violence, relationships, and overwhelming emotions. My work in crisis and community mental health taught me to remain steady when life feels unbearable. Working with military families through the Family Advocacy Program deepened my understanding of intimate partner violence and the complexities of safety, accountability, and healing.
I integrate EMDR, DBT, CBT, and relational therapy into my work. My Christian faith is part of my lived experience, and I welcome clients who wish to draw on faith as part of their healing as well. As a clinical supervisor, I help developing therapists strengthen their trauma informed care and judgment. At Rooted Survivors, we take the nuances of abuse seriously, whether it began in childhood or arose in an adult relationship.

Nikita is especially passionate about working with first responders, veterans, and other trauma-exposed professionals who are accustomed to carrying the weight of difficult experiences on their own.
