Tranquilla Golden-Taylor

I'm Tranquilla Golden-Taylor, LMFT, LMHC — a Florida Qualified Supervisor (MFT & MHC) and AAMFT Supervisor Candidate. I'm a marriage and family therapist with the Department of Veterans Affairs and the owner of Golden Therapeutic Services. Before counseling, I spent six years as an elementary teacher, and I still carry that builder's instinct: I've created parenting and mind-body groups, community workshops destigmatizing mental health care in the African American community, and DEI curriculum for a national staff. My clinical home is family systems, with training in solution-focused, IFS, DBT, and mind-body work. What makes my supervision different is that it adapts to you, not the other way around. Grounded in the Integrative Developmental Model, I meet you where you are as a developing clinician — structured and directive early on, then shifting toward consultant and collaborator as your autonomy grows. I think systemically about the totality of you: your cases and the professional identity you're forming at the same time. My goal isn't to clone my style but to help you find yours — including your niche and the business side of practice — with direct, honest guidance on boundaries, self-advocacy, compliance, and exam prep.
