Interconnect Therapy
“INTENTIONALLY CREATING A MEANINGFUL THERAPY SPACE WITH OUTCOMES THAT LAST.”
— TAYLOUR GANSTER, M.S., BCBA, FOUNDER / THERAPIST
Located in the San Francisco Bay Area, I take a holistic approach as a child play therapist, behavior therapist, parent coach & advocate for children with ADHD, Autism, anxiety, social & behavioral challenges, learning disabilities and more. I offer social skills groups, sibling support groups and toddler play groups that promote connection, autonomy and confidence. My work is rooted in mindfulness & positive parenting. Welcome to my inclusive & sensory friendly practice where everybody is celebrated!
THERAPY STYLE
I coach caregivers, professionals and work directly with children using the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and other evidence-based modalities for children with complex behavioral and social challenges to improve quality of life.
Parent coaching strategies are rooted in positive & mindful parenting, where parents are empowered to guide children using warmth, kindness and loving boundaries. Creating connections between each family member is vital for positive therapy outcomes.
Peer groups and 1:1 child therapy sessions are play-based, with respect for each child’s individuality. I focus on uplifting children & highlighting their strengths, while simultaneously teaching social-emotional skills, executive functioning, self-expression and autonomy. Giving children the tools to self-advocate and be the best version of themselves is the ultimate goal.
Each treatment plan is individually created to ensure effective outcomes and support for the entire family system. Services are available via televideo and/or in-person throughout the Bay Area.

testimonial
“I highly suggest Taylour as a therapist, she worked with my son for many years. My son LOVES her and she truly changed his life. Today he is happy and thriving. He is in a general ed classroom and at grade level; something I truly don’t think could have happened without her. He is now who he was meant to be. The same person he was before but with the skills to be happy without his former struggles. Is he still autistic? Yes of course, but he is thriving and fully functioning in the world as a happy child with many friends.”
