About the Author
Dr. Taylor Palmitier, or “Dr. P” as she is referred to by her patients, is a clinical psychologist and the owner of Southern Palm Psychology & Wellness. With a deep understanding of child development and intervention, along with her experience of raising her own littles, Dr. Palmitier weaves her expertise into her children’s books.
Dr. P's journey to authorship was sparked by her lifelong love for writing and storytelling. From her childhood immersed in magical tales to her career as a clinical psychologist, she witnessed the profound impact of narratives. Whether her patients are learning through books, relating to the emotions of characters, or processing their own narratives through play, Dr. P noticed that stories are not just teaching tools, but powerful agents of healing.
With this in mind, she began crafting her own books that focus on the exact problems she was seeing among kiddos in her practice and in her own children’s lives. Her mission? To extend the healing power of stories beyond the therapy office, reaching a wide audience of children in need of emotional growth and support.
When she's not seeing patients or writing, Dr. P enjoys soaking up quality time with her husband, two daughters, lively goldendoodle, and fluffy cat in their home in South Carolina. You might spot her traveling with her family, running by the lake, or enjoying a cozy pizza movie night on her patio.
