How does Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) work?

HI! My name is Talia Toon and I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker! I am licensed in Arizona and see clients via Telehealth. I am accepting new patients and would love to connect with you! Send me an email to request a consultation!

Are you stressed? Are you finding it hard to navigate what life is bringing you? Are your relationships suffering? If you responded "yes" to any of these questions, I would love to help you! Stress, anxiety, depression, and a host of other troubles can be a challenging yet normal part of life. Handling these issues on your own can make them seem insurmountable. You do not have to go it alone when counseling is available. I offer culturally competent counseling in a non-judgmental, supportive environment. Using multiple therapy modalities, I help individuals, couples, and families with issues such as Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Grief & Loss, Relationship Issues, and Trauma. I also specialize in working with men and couples on a host of issues that impact wellness. Life can be a challenge! Relationships, competing priorities, various issues in society, and work-life stress can all become overwhelming. I want to help you gain more balance, harmony, positive health, and wellness. You are too valuable to suffer in silence. Together, let's work to create the joyous life you deserve.

I am passionate about working with people who want to find their most authentic selves. I work to meet people where they are and to help them learn tools to reach the goals they set for themselves. I work with individuals, adults and adolescents, as well as couples. I am an eclectic therapist and individualize therapy to what the clients needs. I have extensive training in addictions and is excited about the opportunity to work with clients to help them envision the life they want. The best part of my job is when I get to see progress a client makes. Supervised by Leigh Rainwater, LPC-S.

I’ve always carried a deep desire to help people. My first career law enforcement. However, it did not really allow me to really dig in with individuals and help them make changes so they were not continuing the same cycles over and over. I returned to school and pursued my education in behavioral science and then mental health counseling, graduating with my Master’s degree in 2013. I've treated clients in residential treatment, intensive outpatient treatment, community mental health, and in a low to high security, all male state prison. I've worked with individuals from every walk of life. As a therapist and human being I’m always motivated to learn and grow. One of my passions is Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. I have been trained in and previously held certification in the Equine Assisted Growth & Education model. I also earned my EAGALA Military Services Designation to provide culturally competent services to our military members and their families. Another passion is working with our first responders, giving back to those to give so much daily.

Hi, I'm David. I am a licensed social worker from Baltimore, Maryland. I have almost a decade of experience helping children, adults, and couples navigate life. As an adult, I'm constantly reminded of how misguided I was and how much my village didn't teach me. I used to be resentful because I felt like I was forced to survive and be resilient. As if navigating the world as a Black man wasn't hard enough. These days, I recognize that while the life I was subjected to wasn't my fault, I am entirely responsible for what happens now. I firmly believe change starts with a strong sense of self. If you don't know who you are, how can you be anything for anyone else? Knowing who you encompass understanding what you can and will not tolerate. Learning how to cope with disappointment and maintain boundaries that protect the person you're becoming. Close your eyes, and imagine the life you want for yourself. Then make that appointment you've been putting off. Somebody has to help you figure out how to get there. Call us, let's talk.

I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals and men's trauma. I believe everyone deserves a space where they can show up exactly as they are without judgment.My approach is grounded in the belief that you're the expert on your own life - my role is to bring my training and skills alongside your wisdom about yourself, creating a safe place where you can explore your truth at your own pace. I use trauma-informed approaches including CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems, and Narrative Therapy to help clients process difficult experiences and reclaim their power. Whether you're navigating identity exploration, relationship challenges, life transitions, or healing from trauma, I'm here to create that safe space where real growth can happen. Because you deserve to be seen, heard, and supported exactly as you are.

I wholeheartedly believe in the process of authentic connection. With a multicultural background, I recognizes each person is uniquely multifaceted. My approach to therapy is to meet you wherever you’re at in life, get curious about you, and then serve as YOUR team to journey alongside you. The goal is to provide a safe empathetic space where you are respected and honored, so that internal self-explorations can begin, and to foster creative evolutions towards intentionality, self-discovery, self-empowerment, and healing. The focus is your growth & thriving towards being the best version(s) of yourself that you like to be. With 5 years’ experience in community mental health, psychiatric facility, and prison systems altogether, I have supported youths & adults with assessments, skills training, and therapy for individual, family, and group. I utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy, EMDR, & person-centered insights to address a wide range of concerns. People deserve to be believed in, with their worth and potential supported, so that each one of us can live fulfilled, so I work towards breaking the stigma of mental health one conversation at a time. I also enjoy globetrotting, reading, tea, video games, and loves hedgehogs.

You are capable and deserving of growing through what you've gone through! I collaborate with adults with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, self-worth and people-pleasing behaviors, stress management, and more! I also work with couples and adult families with a focus on multi-generational patterns, conflict resolution, enhancing intimacy, and communication dynamics. Whether you are facing significant life transitions, relational conflict, lost sense of self or wishing to expand your emotional awareness - My hope is to provide a therapeutic space that empowers you to reconnect with your own innate resiliency.
