About Taylor Korb
Hi, I’m Taylor Lee Korb, an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor and EMDR-trained therapist in Newport Beach, California. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for women, moms, couples, first responders, and individuals navigating trauma, PTSD, complex PTSD, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and burnout.
My work is grounded in warmth, clinical intentionality, and deep respect for each client’s story. I offer a thoughtful, collaborative space where you can process painful experiences, understand your nervous system, strengthen emotional regulation, and begin building a life that feels more grounded, connected, and true to you.
Therapy Tailored to You
Therapy is most effective when it feels both deeply supportive and thoughtfully personalized. As an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor and EMDR-trained therapist, I work with clients navigating trauma, PTSD, complex PTSD, anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, family dynamics, burnout, identity development, and the ongoing work of becoming more connected to themselves and the people they love.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe that every client brings a unique story, history, nervous system, relationship pattern, and set of strengths into the therapy room. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor our work to your needs, goals, and values while drawing from evidence-informed practices that support emotional regulation, insight, healing, and lasting change.
My clinical work is grounded in person-centered therapy, trauma-informed care, EMDR, attachment theory, CBT, Internal Family Systems-informed work, somatic awareness, and expressive arts-based interventions when appropriate. I bring both clinical intentionality and genuine warmth into the therapy room, creating a space where clients can feel safe, respected, and supported as they process what they have been through and begin building new patterns of resilience, connection, and self-trust.

My Path to Therapy
My path to becoming a therapist has always been rooted in a deep respect for people’s stories. Before entering the counseling field, I spent years working as an educator, director, choreographer, and creative facilitator, witnessing how identity, relationships, trauma, resilience, and self-expression shape the way people move through the world.
Over time, that work led me more formally into the field of mental health. I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling & Drama Therapy from Lesley University, where my clinical training focused on trauma-informed, person-centered, and developmentally responsive care. During my graduate work, I created the Tailored Therapeutic Musical Theater model, which explored how structured creative processes can support emotional regulation, resilience, identity development, and healing.
Today, while creativity remains part of my professional foundation, my therapy practice is first and foremost clinically grounded. I support clients through evidence-informed care, including EMDR, trauma-informed therapy, attachment-based work, nervous system education, and collaborative treatment planning. My goal is to provide therapy that feels warm, thoughtful, and deeply attuned to the person sitting in front of me.
Who I Work With
I work with women, moms, students, couples, first responders, adolescents, young adults, and individuals seeking support for trauma, PTSD, complex PTSD, anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, family stress, identity development, and major life transitions.
I have a particular passion for supporting women with complex trauma, clients healing from painful or destabilizing experiences, and first responders or helping professionals who carry the emotional weight of their work. I also support clients who may not be in crisis, but who are seeking a consistent space to reflect, grow, improve relationships, strengthen boundaries, and feel more grounded in their daily lives.
In my work with adolescents and students, I help clients build emotional regulation, confidence, identity clarity, communication skills, and healthier coping tools as they navigate the pressures of school, relationships, family dynamics, and growing up in today’s world.
Inclusive & Developmentally Responsive Care
I believe therapy should be respectful of each client’s identity, lived experience, developmental stage, culture, relationships, and nervous system. My background includes work with adolescents, young adults, trauma survivors, neurodivergent clients, LGBTQ+ clients, veterans, survivors of intimate partner violence, and individuals with diverse abilities.
I strive to create a therapy space that feels safe, inclusive, and empowering without being clinical in a cold or impersonal way. Clients can expect care that is compassionate, honest, collaborative, and tailored to who they are, not just what they are struggling with.
My Background in Expressive Arts & Creative Wellness
While my private practice is grounded in psychotherapy, my background in the arts continues to inform the way I understand story, identity, embodiment, and healing. I have over a decade of experience as a director, choreographer, writer, and educator, with professional experience at organizations including Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Orange County Children’s Theater, The Chance Theater, Broadway Divas, and Golden West College’s Theater Arts Department.
In 2025, I founded The Artist Wellness Lab, a structured creative wellness program for students, young adults, and performers. These labs blend mental health education, coping skills, identity exploration, boundary work, confidence-building, and evidence-informed expressive arts practices in a format that feels engaging, active, and empowering.
This creative background gives me a unique lens, but it does not replace clinical care. Instead, it allows me to bring depth, flexibility, and attunement into therapy while keeping the work grounded, ethical, and clinically intentional.
