Founder & Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Welcome to Clear Path Mental Health. I've been working in Psychiatry since the beginning of my nursing career in 2015. I have worked in many settings, including inpatient, outpatient, and consult liaison Psychiatry. For the last 7 years I have worked in Addiction Psychiatry, working with individuals who have substance use disorders and other mental health concerns. My goal is to provide low barrier, high quality, holistic care that really considers individual needs.  

Throughout my experience as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner I have worked with hundreds of individuals to meet their mental health and recovery goals. I have a special interest in Anxiety Disorders, OCD, and Addiction/Substance Use Disorders but I treat the full spectrum of psychiatric disorders.

Taylor Schauff, LCSW, CADC

Therapist

Hello and welcome! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with five years of experience in the mental health field. I became a therapist because I enjoy getting to know the person behind the symptoms. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and work through challenges without judgment.

My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and individualized. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients better understand themselves, develop healthy coping skills, navigate emotions, and create meaningful change.

I have experience in helping those navigating Substance Use Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Depression Disorders, recurring patterns, complex relationships, and difficult transitions. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up as your whole self and feel genuinely heard. 

Wherever you are in your journey, I’m here to meet you there!
