Mind-Body-Spirit
Talya is a big believer in the connection between our minds, bodies, and souls. When we intentionally bring balance to these areas, it has the positive impact of improving our overall mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health. In therapy, you will learn to create better balance in your life, as well as to centre and ground yourself in the present moment.

Sexuality
After meeting Talya for less than five minutes, you realize how comfortable and sex-positive she is. Talya has special training in sex therapy, and is a a strong and  outspoken ally to the LGBTQ2+ community.  She has experience working with humans, of all gender identities, sexualities, and preferences, with people ranging in age from preteens to adults.  When you work with Talya you can expect a safe and incredibly sex-positive environment, where you can freely explore, learn, discover, release, heal, and grow, in ways that are meaningful to you. Talya’s goal is for you to be sexually empowered, whatever that means to you.

Feeling Calmer and Prioritizing Your Health by Setting Boundaries
Just because we haven’t yet been taught how to regulate our emotions, doesn’t mean we can’t learn. Together, we will explore and learn skills that will help enable you to better regulate your emotions, so that you experience less intense mood swings.

Have you ever wanted to make a decision that was best for you, but didn’t, because you felt bad and worried about hurting someone else’s feelings? So instead, you did something you didn’t want to do, and then felt angry, or frustrated, or resentful? That is an example of a lack of boundaries. In therapy, we will learn how to prioritize you and your needs, wants and desires, as well as set, maintain, and enforce boundaries that you need, in order to feel safe in your relationships and set them up for success.
