I'm Justin Talkish, a therapist with 20 years of experience, including the last 4 years in private practice. I'm deeply devoted to helping clients rebuild their lives after trauma, grief, or loss. My therapeutic approach draws extensively from my own lived experiences, fostering a safe, supportive space where vulnerability, resilience, and healing are shared and nurtured together. I’m especially committed to serving those often overlooked in therapy, including Black Americans, LGBTQ individuals, and those impacted by religious trauma. Overcoming personal challenges, I offer unique support to those who might otherwise feel unseen.
I specialize in tools to manage intense emotions: distress tolerance skills for feeling overwhelmed, like in panic attacks, and emotion regulation skills to help control thoughts and feelings, reducing emotional ups and downs. I support clients in building healthier relationships and developing a confident sense of self they’re proud of, free from shame.
I understand how overwhelming emotions can feel, especially when they seem to control your life. My goal is to help you build skills to manage distress, regulate emotions, and create healthier relationships. Together, we’ll work on building a sense of self you’re proud of. If you're ready to take the next step toward healing, I'm here to support you.
