Taylor Vacca

I am currently enrolled in the Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology program at National University in order to live out my passion for research within the specialization in Psychology of Gender and Sexual Fluidity. I plan to publish and present my work, revolutionize outdated regulatory-practices and philosophies to refabricate the foundations of systemic-policy, inclusion, and social justice, as well as desire to establish myself as a trailblazing professor within prestigious institutions of higher education.

In 2022, I graduated magna cum laude pursuing my Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University with an emphasis on strengthening and healing individuals alongside their systems and communities from The Family Institute (TFI), one of the nation’s top relationship-based behavioral health establishments. Since graduating I have used this knowledge and expertise to serve my community as an Outpatient Therapist, as well as provide executive consulting services within a variety of healthcare settings. In addition to utilizing my newly acquired skill-set within the workplace, I have begun composing my first self-help read to promote the person-centered, trauma-informed practices, humanistic perspectives, and Integrated Feeling Therapy (IFT) philosophies that proved successful in allowing my clients to reach higher levels of existence and new heights of enlightenment.
