Talia Purnell, MA

At the center of my practice is a commitment to creating a space where you can arrive just as you are, without filters, masks, or pressure to be anything other than yourself. My role is to support you in nurturing a kinder, more compassionate relationship with yourself while gently exploring how early relationships and past experiences may still be shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships today. Rooted in psychodynamic principles, my approach is also informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and body-based, emotionally focused modalities. In sessions, we might gently explore different parts of yourself that hold feelings or memories, tune into bodily sensations, or reflect together on recurring patterns and emotions. This helps create a grounded, safe space where healing can unfold naturally. Above all else, our work will be collaborative and centered on your voice, values, and goals. We’ll hold space for all parts of you, the ones you know well and those just beginning to surface. This journey isn’t about perfection but about integration: making contact with what’s been lost, hidden, or silenced, and creating room for new ways of being. I don’t believe in quick fixes; I believe in the power of slowing down, turning inward, and creating space for real change. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out and share a bit of your story. You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin... just a little curiosity or courage to show up.
