Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.

My name is Taylore Qaoud, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri. I have been in my field since 2015 and founded my private practice Deep Roots Counseling at the beginning of 2019. I’m passionate about working with people struggling with daily life, painful relationships, and feeling like it’s really hard to cope with the turmoil that life and trauma bring. In my work, I love partnering with people to figure out the root of their pain and how to put down roots of self compassion, skillfulness, and a deeper sense of knowing and loving one’s self.

In my free time, I love spending time with family and friends, reading, cooking, traveling, making music, and going on walks with my rescue pup.

My practice is currently full, but I do offer a waitlist.

Therapy can be a powerful tool and a place of immense healing.

I specialize in partnering with people in managing and healing the parts of life that are most painful and unbearable. I utilize different modalities including DBT, CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and self compassion-based practices to work with individuals struggling with:

  • Difficulty coping with emotions
  • Painful relationships
  • Childhood and attachment wounds
  • Self-criticism
  • Difficulty with body image

That’s a lot of acronyms and “therapy” lingo! Simply put, I’ve been trained in a variety of approaches that have equipped me to work with people through difficult emotions, painful life experiences, and unhealthy relationships.


I believe therapy should be accessible and affordable.

Insurance: I am an in-network provider for:

  • Anthem BCBS
  • United Healthcare (as well as their third party plans including UMR, Student Resources, All Savers, etc.)
  • Cigna
  • Aetna
  • Humana

I also provide Superbills to those who would like to use out-of-network benefits.

Private Pay: $130 per 55-minute session. In certain circumstances, sliding scale may be offered for a limited number of sessions.

Cancellation Policy: If you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment or you give less than 24 hour notice of a cancellation, you will be charged the fee identified in the initial paperwork you receive. Certain circumstances may waive the cancellation/no-show fee.


I seek to offer a warm and relaxing space where you are free to come exactly as you are.

My office is located at 2838 S. Grand Blvd St. Louis, MO 63118, across the street from the entrance to Tower Grove Park (it’s gorgeous!). Additionally, I offer virtual counseling sessions when appropriate.
