Justin Talkish

As a trauma specialist, I, Justin Talkish, LMHC, understand that trauma is a deeply personal and diverse experience that touches all of us in different ways. For over a decade, I've honed my expertise to encompass this wide spectrum of trauma, aiding clients on their unique healing journeys. Using a client-centered and DBT-informed approach, I aim to empower you to confront the intricacies of your individual trauma and foster radical self-acceptance. At Justin Talkish Counseling PLLC, we'll together shine a light on the pathway to resilience and healthier relationships, acknowledging and honoring your past experiences. Ready to take that brave first step towards healing? It begins here.

My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and a deep respect for your lived experience. I integrate a client-centered and DBT-informed framework, which means I meet you where you are, without judgment, and work alongside you to build skills for emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. I believe that healing is not a one-size-fits-all process—it’s personal, nuanced, and deeply human. Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of trauma, seeking greater self-understanding, or striving to improve your relationships, my role is to support and empower you every step of the way. Together, we’ll create a space that feels safe enough to explore, challenge, and ultimately, transform.

Clients can expect to walk away from sessions with a deepened understanding of themselves and the impact trauma has had on their lives. Through a compassionate, client-centered lens and DBT-informed tools, I help clients build emotional regulation, strengthen self-awareness, and reconnect with their innate resilience. Together, we work to unravel patterns shaped by past experiences, fostering greater self-acceptance and more authentic relationships. My goal is for every client to feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward with clarity and confidence, knowing healing is not only possible—it’s already underway.
