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 try to help my clients see the present moment. Too often, we are on "auto-pilot" and are moving so fast that we do not take notice of the things in our lives that bring us joy. There is no magic button that we can simply press to feel joy, but all of us have a path that we can find to happness. There is hope for you and others who have these struggles. There is a path you can find to help you feel better. I would be honored to listen as you speak about your own journey, and to also help you find the path that you want to take in life. I can also help any young athletes or sports loving adults cope with the mental stress that comes with injuries. I have experienced my own injury - related traumas in the past. I know the frustrations with not being able to get outside and play a sport after an injury. I am a practicing therapist - in - training who is supervised by licensed professionals at two different locations in the Houston area. I am happy to work with you to meet your therapy needs during these turbulent times.

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!

I believe that therapy is a space where you can be yourself, and I would love to be a part of helping you to explore your life in a meaningful way. Coming from a creative background, I decided to become a therapist to engage more deeply with the human experience, both intellectually and emotionally.  My work is centered around helping people grow into the fullest version of themselves—one that feels more authentic, more alive, more aware, and more at peace. Above all, I believe that real healing comes from the unique relationship we build together. Therapy works when you feel deeply seen, heard, and cared for, and that is what I strive to provide in every session. Together, we will work to explore your past, understand how it shapes your present and current relationships, and create a path toward a more meaningful and fulfilling now and future. My approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and respect, and I welcome clients from all walks of life. I also am LGBTQIA+ affirmative, culturally-sensitive, and sex-positive, so please bring yourself however you are.
