Talia Watrous MA

My approach comes in three parts

1) I offer trauma-informed, somatic therapy that connects people's brains to the rest of their body. Using EFT and Brainspotting (a modality derived from EMDR), I help folks achieve emotional safety and take care of their whole self.

2) Grounded in attachment research, I encourage folks to examine how relationship patterns influence their current situation. 

3) I rely on evidenced based approaches like Solution Focused therapy to support you in making lasting changes, rather than just short-lived revelations.

Trauma therapy

I use brainspotting—a modality derived from EMDR. This model of trauma therapy allows you reduce the intensity of negative emotions and past events. And in doing so, lessen their impact on your decision making, relationships, emotional states, and day-to-day life.  

Psychosexual Therapy 

Psychosexual therapy is a talk therapy that helps people with intimacy issues. I work with folks experiencing sex/porn addiction (also known as Out of Control Sexual Behaviour),  erectile dysfunction, pelvic pain, and low-sexual desire. I also have a background helping folks who are exploring non-monogamy and kink. Regardless of the issue, I do an assessment of the individual's relationship, medical, and sexual history. 

Working with Exploring Gender Identity

I’ve found that some clients can come in nervous about their therapist having an objective or end goal when it comes to their gender. I find it so important to support clients in discovering what they want and what works for them in their own context. It is my aim for my office to be a place to try things out. It’s a space for you, not me.
