Seth Taylor, MA, MFT (he/him/his)

I’m Seth Taylor and I am a Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (ALMFT) with specialized training in relationship and sex therapy.

I believe that living authentically for self and community brings healing and joy. Such authenticity requires an exploration of sexual and gender identity, desire, fantasy, and expressing sexual needs amidst robust boundary-making.

Seth Taylor holds a Masters of Couple and Family Therapy degree as well as the sex therapy certification coursework from Adler University and a Masters in Education from RELAY Graduate School of Education. He has experience helping individuals and partnerships on a variety of sexual concerns including dating, gender and sexual identity exploration, affair recovery, reconciling sex with spirituality and/or religion, how neurodivergence can impact sex and relationships, and out-of-control sexual behavior. 

Seth has a warm, affirmative, and direct approach to therapy. He believes that successful therapy is built on a strong therapeutic relationship. He uses kindness, honesty, and accountability to build rapport with his clients. He understands that while change is necessary, it is also difficult and that we do not always have the tools to accomplish change on our own. He employs a strengths-based approach because at the end of the day, while you may have A problem, you are not THE problem, and this strong belief allows him to actively guide clients toward meeting their therapeutic goals. Seth’s clinical interests include (but are not limited to) working with LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC folx, kink/BDSM, polyamory, out-of-control sexual behavior, religion/spirituality, and men’s sexual health.

Prior to joining Embrace Sexual Wellness, Seth completed his clinical internship in a private practice setting working with individuals and their partners. He also worked as a milieu therapist at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. In this role, he gained experience working in high-acuity crisis work, facilitating therapeutic group work, and 1-on-1 therapeutic work with children with disabilities who were exhibiting aggression.
