Getting to know Talia Waitkus

Life is full of changes, and navigating them can be overwhelming. Whether you're a teen dealing with school pressures, a young adult balancing friendships and work, or an adult working through marriage, parenthood, or rediscovering yourself, these transitions often come with anxiety and uncertainty. It's normal to feel lost, but you don't have to go through it alone. I specialize in helping my clients work through: Life Transitions: Major changes like starting college, entering a new career, marriage, parenthood, or the challenges of midlife. Depression and Anxiety: Whether driven by stress, isolation, or the weight of life's demands, we'll work together using a cognitive behavioral approach to develop coping strategies and manage negative thought patterns. Relationship and Social Dynamics: Supporting clients in navigating the complexities of relationships-whether in school, work, or personal life-and finding balance between connection and independence. Rediscovering Yourself: If you feel like you've lost sight of who you are, I'm here to help you reconnect with your identity, purpose, and goals. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Central Florida. My primary modalities are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Through a cognitive-behavioral approach, I help clients not only understand their thoughts and emotions but also take actionable steps toward meaningful, lasting change. With EMDR, I support clients in processing past trauma and reframing distressing experiences, enabling them to move forward with greater resilience and confidence. Together, we work on finding clarity amid life's transitions, empowering clients to navigate challenges with a renewed sense of purpose and self-understanding. If you're ready to take the first step toward growth and well-being, I invite you to a free 20-minute phone consultation. Let's explore how I can support you on this journey.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I understand the complexities of growing up, dealing with family dynamics, and facing the pressures of daily life. My approach is warm, empathetic, and collaborative, focusing on what matters most to you. Through therapy, you can gain valuable coping skills, improve communication, and build stronger, healthier relationships. Together, we can navigate the in-between moments of life and move towards a future filled with confidence and resilience. Let's take this journey together.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation call to determine if we are a good fit for working together. If we both feel that my services align with your needs, we can schedule either an in-person session or a telehealth appointment based on your preference.
