Dr. Paul-Roy Taylor is a multinationally licensed psychologist with a private practice in Los Angeles. He specializes in sex and relationship issues, and he frequently writes for publication, lectures, and conducts workshops on these topics throughout the community.

Dr. Taylor also has advanced experience treating behavioral addiction and substance use. He has worked in nearly all levels of care from outpatient to inpatient-residential. Dr. Taylor is particularly passionate about working with members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Bowenian differentiation therapy is Dr. Taylor's primary approach. This method tackles long-standing obstacles, fosters self-confrontation, manages daily anxieties by harnessing them as opportunities for growth, and carries the ultimate goal of living life in the way that makes the most sense for you and your needs. He also utilizes cognitive-behavioral techniques to address concrete symptoms that often exist initially in treatment. He has advanced training in motivational interviewing to help maximize your innate desire to move forward.

Core to Dr. Taylor's style are objectivity, thoughtfulness, a healthy bit of confrontation, and always some humor. Dr. Taylor believes successful therapy is therapy that ends, and he helps clients set realistic, achievable goals met by developing fundamental skills that help clients thrive after therapy is complete.
