Fletcher Taylor, MD
I am a member of a family and of a community which includes all of us. I have lived and worked in Tacoma as a psychiatrist since 1990. I divide my professional time between clinical practice, teaching, and research. Alita Taylor and I often see clients together with their families in the form of network meetings.
I think that the elements leading to good health often fold in one’s family, community, and culture, in addition to traditional western medicine. My hope is that we will be able to use any available resources that you choose.
I received my BA in education at Earlham College, Indiana, my medical training at the University of Oklahoma, and my psychiatry training at the University Hospitals of Cleveland, Case Western University, Ohio. Besides being trained in diagnosis and medical management, I chose to receive formal training in areas such as wilderness medicine, Open Dialogue, cognitive therapies, behavioral therapies, analytic theory, transactional analysis, and family systems theory.
I see individuals, couples, families and groups, and often see people together with Alita Taylor, my wife, a skilled marriage and family therapist.
My published research includes work with anxiety/depression, learning disabilities, trauma-related issues, and sleep physiology.
