Getting to know Talia Waitkus
I started In Between Counseling because I know firsthand how overwhelming life’s transitions can be—whether it’s navigating the teenage years, stepping into adulthood, or figuring out who you are in the chaos of work, relationships, and parenthood. I specialize in helping teens and adults manage stress, anxiety, and depression, guiding them through the messy "in-between" moments of life with humor, empathy, and straight-to-the-point honesty.
My approach
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients recognize and reframe negative thought patterns, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to process past trauma and move forward with more confidence and peace. I’m here to help you process, challenge negative thoughts, and build the skills to handle whatever life throws your way.
My focus
I’m a licensed therapist in Alabama, offering compassionate, confidential Telehealth services tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, depression, life changes, or simply need someone to talk to, I’m here to help you find clarity and balance.
My communication style
prioritize clear, open communication to foster a supportive and non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and provide opportunities for reflection, serving as an empathetic partner in your journey. When navigating challenges together, you can expect me to remain calm and patient, ensuring that you always feel heard and respected.
My journey to mental healthcare
When my parents divorced when I was 15, I found myself overwhelmed by the emotions and turmoil that came with living in a toxic environment. Seeking professional help from a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) was a turning point. Through therapy, I learned how to navigate my home life, manage my emotions, and stay focused on my academic success. The support I received not only helped me thrive as a student but also gave me the tools to succeed in life.
