Meet Taylor

Taylor Rheker, Licensed Professional Counselor Associate

Supervised By Lana Bagley, M.A., L.P.C-S.

My name is Taylor Rheker, and I am originally from Detroit, Michigan. My passion for counseling began in 2011 when I received first-hand experience of how therapy can profoundly impact an individual and a family. I began pursuing my education by obtaining a 4-year certificate in Christian Ministry and Leadership from the International House of Prayer University in Missouri. I later attended Oral Roberts University in Oklahoma, where I completed a Master's Degree in licensed professional counseling. The school emphasizes equipping professionals, developing leaders, and educating students through a Spirit-filled lens. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in Counseling and Psychology from Regent University in Virginia to develop further expertise in Biblical Counseling and intend to conduct research on the impacts of prayer on mental health.

Who I Help

My Areas of Expertise

I am passionate about seeing the broken-hearted find healing, the grieving find comfort, and individuals find renewal and restoration to experience joy. I find it especially rewarding working with clients in life stages spanning from middle school, high school, to college. It is during these earlier stages of development, we often discover who God designed us to be and His plan for our lives. Yet, in these stages it is also common to navigate challenges like academic and sports performance stress, anxiety, feelings of purposelessness, insecurity, low-self esteem, body image issues, pressure to make educational or career decisions, perfectionism, conflict with parents, feelings of isolation or shame, and peer pressure. If you find yourself here, it would be an honor to walk alongside you as you courageously face these challenges. It is my goal to create a safe place for you to be heard, feel seen, and find freedom to live wholeheartedly.
