Talya Moonheart, LMSW

Talya Moonheart (they/them) is a somatic psychotherapist who believes deeply in our innate capacities to heal both individually and collectively. They view therapy as an opportunity to slow down and gaze inward, so we may find more connection to ourselves and others. Talya offers an eclectic approach that is somatic, relational, and psychodynamic.

Being human is a complex experience. With that in mind, Talya offers space to welcome the unknown so new understandings of ourselves and our relationships may emerge. Talya provides room for clients to explore their intersecting identities/lineages and how those relate to oppressive institutions, systems, and beliefs. Talya has supported clients navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, intimate partner violence, self-esteem quandaries, major life transitions, gender exploration, and curiosities around sexuality and intimacy. 

Talya’s decades-long background as a dance artist deeply influences their commitment to exploring presence. The existential question of how to be a human living a life has oriented Talya towards practices such as experimental dance, somatic abolition, and therapy, all of which prioritize courageous honesty in the here-and-now. Their perspective forms the bedrock of the therapeutic container Talya strives to co-create with clients. 

Talya holds a Masters in Social Work from Smith School of Social Work and has completed advanced level Somatic Experiencing®training.
