Naomi Talty

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor; I come to Dayspring with over 2 years experience in community mental health and previous background in education and human services. I am a lifelong learner, and someone who enjoys having flexibility in daily life.

Who I work with

I am passionate about helping people embrace their individuality, recognize and build upon their strengths, and create the life they want to live. I have worked with individuals of all ages and ability levels, but find I am best suited for teens and young adults. Those starting to venture into adulthood often feel ill-prepared, and I enjoy walking with them on this journey. I also support those experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem/image concerns, emotion regulation, religious/spiritual issues or traumas, and those within the neurodivergent community on managing daily life challenges.

Training

I consider myself a strengths-based practitioner, engaging clients in recognizing what makes them unique and helping them utilize the tools and abilities they already have in order to heal. As every person I meet is so unique, there is no one preferred type of therapy, however I use a combination of evidenced based practices with emphasis on cognitive-behavior approaches (CBT, DBT, MI) and Solution-focused approaches.

More About Me

When I’m not in the office, I’m often hanging out with family and friends, as well as four-legged loves. Indoors, I love playing card games, doing jigsaw puzzles, and dabbling in painting. You can find me outdoors when the sun is out, and the weather is warm.
