About Talia

As a 20-year veteran in the field of mental wellness, Talia’s expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy has made a positive impact in the lives of many people. Her background as a Marriage and Family Therapist and Relationship Expert in the Los Angeles area, has promoted mental and emotional wellness for both individuals and couples.

Talia’s unique approach emphasizes healing of deep seated emotional and relational wounds that left untreated, often lead to increased symptoms of anger, anxiety and depression. These unseen wounds can wreak havoc on our sense of self and our functioning in the world. Ms. Wagner’s holistic approach normalizes these common struggles, helping individuals and couples overcome stagnation and a lack of progress.

Achieving a higher level of emotional fulfillment and true happiness that radiates from within, comes from focusing on healing and promoting our mental wellness. By addressing the intergenerational patterns that often lay dormant deep within, we help foster harmony within our relationships. This distinct approach veers away from therapy’s traditional disease model, which focuses on mental illness, rather than emotional and relational wellness.

Unfortunately, most people still think that you go to therapy when something is wrong with you, and this negative labeling prohibits many from focusing on their emotional well-being. Talia’s work recognizes that we are all on a journey of growth and evolution, and her focus on healing provides a corrective environment and an openness that the stigma on therapy often prohibits.

As an author, contributor and speaker in the mental wellness and health arena, Talia’s advice has been featured in leading media publications. Her book Married Roommates has been a helpful source of normalization for many couples that erroneously believe that they are the only ones that struggle with a lack of connection and emotional unfulfillment. It’s all normal, and very much fixable.
