Prior to working at The Village for Families and Children, Dr. Taylor was an assistant Professor at the Yale Child Study Center and worked in child psychiatric inpatient service for seven years. Dr. Taylor completed general psychiatry residency at the University of Arizona and completed a Child and Adolescent Fellowship at The Yale Child Study Center in New Haven.
