Our experiences in life can at times be confusing and painful, yet they do not need to define or limit us in who we wish to be. As a trauma-focused and person-centered clinically licensed therapist, I work with you to help you heal from your past and create the life you want to live. Each and every one of us are intended to live our lives with purpose, passion and meaning. While our individual pasts may have led us to today, we can freely decide our tomorrow.

I have developed a rich and diverse background in trauma-focused clinical practice models to best meet the unique, individual needs of the individuals, couples and families that I serve. I use a keen approach to work with people experiencing challenges specific to past and present trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and difficulties in relationship and family dynamics. I draw on these practices to support healing from yesterday, embrace the power of today and create the possibility of tomorrow.

Hi, my name is Talia I have been working with people for the last 12 years. As New York State certified social worker I try to bring warmth, enthusiasm, and a safe space to help clients achieve their goals. 

My counseling style is empathetic, warm, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychoeducation, and mindfulness practice. I approach therapy uniquely as a chance to find the lessons in difficulties and the hidden strengths to be discovered and acknowledged. I believe humor has therapeutic value, finding gratitude in the small things, and enriching your spirituality. I believe in the resilience of the human spirit.

Whether you are looking to begin the therapeutic process for the first time or have experience in treatment, connecting with a therapist can bring you to a place of deeper self awareness. I have over 10 years of clinical experience working with a diverse range of clients, and my approach focuses on psychodynamic psychotherapy and includes modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based therapy, interpersonal therapy, and narrative therapy.

I have created a unique approach combining my training and experience with a firm belief in building a strong therapeutic relationship of trust focused on compassion and empathy, and a good sense of humor. I specialize in treating people who suffer from anxiety and depression, and work with clients on issues such as sexuality, relationships, men’s health and interpersonal skills. The populations I often work with (but am certainly not limited to) include artists, LGBTQ folks, and men.

I’m passionate about helping people build the skills and strategies needed to overcome emotional and interpersonal obstacles, and allow people to be fully engaged in their lives.

My work has been dedicated to supporting and empowering clients to meet their highest aspirations and potential. In my early career, I worked in hospitals, and later, while living in Europe, I worked as a private practice therapist. There, I also trained as a yoga teacher, discovering how yoga and meditation contribute to a holistic approach to healing and recovery.  I have a person-centered approach and meet my clients where they are and guide the work from that place, taking an integrative approach and borrowing techniques from CBT, DBT, ACT, supportive therapy, and mindfulness practices. If you are looking for support through life’s challenges or seeking solutions, I can help you move closer to a more meaningful, fulfilling, and happy life.
