Talia Wagner Marriage & Family Therapist

Talia has been my therapist for a few years now and I often think of her just like I would a great personal trainer — even when areas have become strengthened and improved, there’s always something that you can work on and feel even better about. She has an amazing memory and an ability to help you connect the dots to gain insight into the patterns in your life… I’ve had many «a-​ha!» moments in sessions with her that have helped me immensely. I personally love the little bits of «homework» she gives you from time to time, through journaling or reading or listening to a podcast. She’s fantastic.

My husband and I were in a bad emotional place when we first saw Talia. We had been putting off seeing a therapist for a long time, convincing ourselves that we were really fine and not really wanting to spend the money. When we could no longer ignore things and our fights were happening in front of our children. I used Unilocal to find a therapist and then we finally went. We both felt really comfortable with Talia from the initial meeting. I don’t know how to explain it but I felt like she just got us. She got mu husband, who is usually a man of few words, to open up and talk about his feelings. That really got the ball rolling for us and we were able to talk about things we had never talked about before. Talia helped us make sense of the past, which was always a source of a lot of pain for both of us. She taught us how to control the fighting, which now is a non issue because we don’t even fight that much anymore and when we do it’s just a disagreement, not actual fighting. More importantly, therapy with Talia allowed us to find a renewed interest in each other and for me there is no price tag on that. I feel like we should have done this years ago and am so grateful that we found her. I owe my now healthy marriage to everything she has taught us.

Talia is amazing: down to earth, knowledgable, and compassionate. She recognizes the unique needs of men and women and introduces useful strategies that can help you communicate better with your partner. She deserves the consistent 5-​star ratings!

We found Talia on Unilocal,called and had an awesome conversation with her. We never called back to book the appointment because things got a little better between us and we convinced ourselves that the rough patch was over. It wasn’t long before another rough patch came along and then another and remembering the connection we had on the phone, we reconnected with Talia. She made really complicated issues in our relationship understandable and manageable. It was pretty easy to implement the things we talked about with Talia and had literally changed our life. Now instead of being constantly at each other’s throats, we are having a good time with each other again, going away for the weekend and enjoying being a couple.

My fiancé wanted us to see someone for premarital counseling before the «big» day. This seemed like a waste of money to me, but eventually I gave in and went with her to see Talia. That first meeting was pretty eye opening, I expected it to be boring and slightly intrusive, it was anything but.
We talked about things that had never been discussed and that led the way to some pretty raw and honest moments between us. We both learned a lot about each other and about how we wanted to approach married life. It turns out that out of all the wedding expenses, this one had the best return on my investment. I don’t remember us ever having conversations to this depth about our future, kids, even our bucket list. It put us both in the right mindset to take this crazy next step together and I am more certain than I ever was about her being the right girl for me. We still see Talia occasionally and I am sure that we will continue to as we hit bumps in the road. She has been a very good support system for our relationship and for us as individuals.

My job has me travelling from LA to Dallas a lot. When I first came to see Talia, I was having a hard time juggling my work with everything else in my life. Although it feels a little weird to review my therapist, I have had such amazing things happen to me in the last year, that I have to give credit where it is due. Talia has helped me figure out how to organize my life, which includes my work, my self and my relationships. The tools she gave me, taught me how to balance everything in my busy life without feeling anxious and overwhelmed.

Talia is FABULOUS. love love love. i am an avid believer that everyone could benefit from spending an hour a week talking about their problems with an unbaised person. and i absolutely look forward to doing this with Talia every week. she’s been super helpful and i’m so glad i found her when i got out to LA.
