She has been a Maryland Board of Social Work approved clinical supervisor for 8 years and very much enjoys educating and supporting new therapists as they transition into becoming more experienced clinicians. Talia founded a nonprofit domestic violence organization and is now the executive director, Opening New Doors Foundation Inc. She took this organization from being a tiny thought in her mind in 2016 through a drastic transformation. In July of 2020 (during the pandemic) she was able to open a transitional housing program for women and children fleeing abuse. As a survivor of abuse who has transitioned to thriving, she has overcome an immense number of obstacles and is today fully content with her successes as a seasoned therapist. She had worked in a group practice that specialized in first responders, medical and mental health professionals and has helped many professionals in these front line intense positions during the pandemic. As a veteran’s spouse I have experience in the personal and professional knowledge which helps me best support those who have such intense challenges. *************** ADDITIONAL SERVICES AVAILABLE *************** -ASYLUM AFFIDAVIT EVALUATIONS -TEXT MESSAGE OR COACHING PACKAGES -COACHING PACKAGES
