TALIA BOMBOLA

I am a kind, strong, confident woman who loves helping others discover their best self. I am a supportive teammate and an advocate. I am a person, just like you, who has overcome challenges in life. I am certain there is no issue or struggle too great to overcome. I believe in the value of therapy and that a life can truly transform because of it.

an introduction

MY EXPERIENCE & APPROACH

I am a Certified Psychodynamic therapist. What this means for my clients is that I strive to deepen the insight of the people I work with while recognizing that each of us is part of a greater family system. I view change as a byproduct of insight. I foster a deep bond with my clients as the therapeutic relationship is the most important means for change and healing. Our therapeutic relationship can last for life with varying frequency in sessions. I’m here as long as it is helpful. Attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and depth psychology are all incorporated into my work.
