Hello!
Welcome to Jackson Therapy Collective, a leading Twin Cities based therapy practice serving adults & relationships of all kinds.
ABOUT DR TALIA
WELCOME TO MY GROUP PRACTICE!
Over the last 20 years in the field, I have developed expertise in a variety of clinical settings. I received my MA and PsyD from the American Schools of Professional Psychology in the San Francisco Bay Area. While pursuing my Doctorate, my clinical training was intense, varied and shaped how I see the impact of this powerful work we do together.I was trained in Hannah Levenson's Time Limited Dynamic Therapy, as I worked with the bravest clients battling HIV and AIDS at the AIDS Health Project at UCSF, at a time when this diagnosis was a death sentence.I then fell in love with working with bright and motivated young adults in University Counseling Centers such as Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA and University of San Francisco. Many were experiencing the first pains and uncertainty of overwhelming anxiety, depression, grief and loss, unmanageable symptoms of ADHD executive dysfunction, all while trying to be successful in school and prepare for their beautiful future.In 2005, freshly graduated and newly married, I returned to my hometown of Minneapolis, MN to complete my licensure as a Psychologist. My Post-Doctoral Internship at Augsburg Counseling Center brought me right back to my love of University Counseling. And to deepen my intensive Psychodynamic training, I worked as a Community Mental Health therapist for two years at the Hamm Clinic in St Paul.This is also when I branched out into my first Group Private Practice experience at The River City Clinic, where I was hired by my now Podcast Co-Host and best friend and colleague Doug Jensen, LICSW!Licensed in 2006, I founded my own private practice in Minneapolis, and never turned back! We had two amazing sons, now both teenagers, rescued a few pugs, and here we are!A year ago, I decided to become a Clinical Supervisor of two fantastic students from Adler Graduate School, developed a training program, and recently took on two more Doctoral Level students from Augsburg College, full circle!I am so fulfilled in this next professional chapter; supporting and training the next generation of gifted and compassionate therapists. Trust me when I say this work we do together is powerful and can even be life-changing if you choose to make it so.You made it this far. Professional insight and customized skill building for better mental health and relationships are likely the missing pieces you have been seeking to truly loving yourself and your life.Let us partner with you for lasting wellbeing.
ABOUT JACKSON THERAPY COLLECTIVE

We are Licensed Psychologists and Clinical Mental Health Therapists working towards licensure at the Masters and Doctoral level, highly educated, trained in a variety of cutting edge modalities, and eager to start working with you right away.
WHO WE TREAT
Our incredible clients come to us either because they are seeking mental health support for urgent symptom management of Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, OCD, Life Transitions, Trauma, Grief and Loss, Relationship and Attachment issues or perhaps they are seeking less urgent, more Insight-Oriented Therapy as brave cycle breakers, sick and tired of the toxic and unhealthy patterns they are noticing in their lives and relationships.Let us be your finish line. You made it. You are no longer alone in this struggle. Therapy can be life changing work. You will not believe the positive butterfly effect your healing and wellbeing will have on all of your loved ones as well.
OUR APPROACH TO THERAPY
We are committed to our evidence-based practices, a safe and inclusive culture for ALL to feel affirmed, honored and consistently given the highest level of mental health care.We employ a combination of our most effective approaches and techniques in a thoughtfully customized treatment plan. Let us introduce you to our approach.
PSYCHODYNAMIC THERAPY & ATTACHMENT THEORY
Psychodynamic Therapy and Attachment Theory to address unhealthy relationship patterns and help you heal from early family of origin struggles that may have shaped your current attachment style. Once understood, you can change these patterns and improve the way you show up in all of your relationships, creating the intentional, loving and safe connections you desire.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to challenge unproductive thought patterns and implement more adaptive ones. This is the Gold Standard Treatment for both Depression and Anxiety. These neuroscience backed interventions offer the life changing pause between thought, feeling and behavior that will improve your ability to respond to life's stressors and relationship triggers with a calm nervous system and the emotional intelligence you yearn for.
ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT THERAPY (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to navigate difficult emotions and thoughts by embracing them rather than trying to control or avoid them, while simultaneously committing to actions aligned with your values.This approach to therapy has proven to contribute to a more fulfilling and meaningful life, introducing awareness and ease to your day-to-day challenges. Take the first step!
We offer in-person Individual and Couples Therapy in our private practice in the Bryn Mawr neighborhood of Minneapolis. Telehealth Sessions are always available as well.Additionally, as a neuro-affirming clinic, we are thrilled to offer ADHD Screening and Evaluation, ADHD-informed education, coaching, individual and couples' therapy, because as we know, our "neuro-spiciness" tends to affect everyone around us, in both extraordinary and challenging ways.Another specialty we offer is treating women in Perimenopause and Menopause, through individual work, workshops, as well as a quarterly education and support group called Second Season Sessions.

EVENTS, GROUPS & WORKSHOPS
WHY YES, WE WOULD LOVE TO DO A LUNCH N' LEARN & FACILITATE AMAZING CONVERSATIONS FOR YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS, CO-WORKERS AND PRACTICE-MATES!
TOPICS INCLUDE:
THE ENNEAGRAM
A one-of-a-kind eerily accurate Personality Profiling System that unlocks your wiring, your nature, your core fears & drivers. Learn what your healthiest and unhealthiest self looks like. Learn how your type works with your partner's type, your boss, your mother...
We offer in-depth, fun and humorous education and support around perimenopause, menopause, and the many effects it has on women of a certain age; mind, body, soul, and relationships.
THE MIND-BODY CONNECTION
For our Integrative and Physical Wellness focused Friends and Providers. THE MIND BODY CONNECTION is a crucial relationship to understand if you or your clients struggle with chronic pain, illness, injury, disabilities, visible or invisible. Learn how mental and physical wellness or illness can perpetuate its own unique cycles, and how changing a thinking pattern, biohacking your nervous system with a few simple tricks, or starting one healthier habit can have an immeasurable healing effects.Mental health issues, depression, anxiety, and trauma can manifest physically and show up in the body.Research shows that those diagnosed with autoimmune disorders, chronic pain and fatigue often have a history of trauma.Our emotional lives and physical wellness are intertwined in our chronic stress, our burn out, grief and loss of a loved one, and in the loss of our functioning and identity as an athlete, as able bodied, as youthful.Therapy can help those of us with physical illness, chronic pain, and disabilities by encouraging us to trust our inner knowing of our symptoms with confidence, helping learn language around self-advocacy in the health care system and helping to create an empowered narrative.What can we do? What can we control? Learning mindfulness techniques and coping strategies can “right size” our experiences of pain and discomfort.
CURIOUS ABOUT THE ILLUSTRIOUS ENNEAGRAM PERSONALITY PROFILING SYSTEM??I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER ASK!
Our Enneagram Workshop at @yogagardenmpls was a blast!The Enneagram is a framework of understanding personality structures rooted in both nature and nurture. It is a gateway to self-awareness and an understanding of others that opens up a path for us to experience a more integrated and rewarding life.
Knowing our Enneagram Type helps us uncover our unique drivers, motivators, fears and unmet childhood messages, which brings into sharp, clear focus nine different ways of looking at the world.It allows us to see how each worldview impacts the way we bring our unique thoughts, feelings, an behaviors to any situation. Even beyond behavior, the Enneagram delves into the often-secret, unconscious, or underlying motivations that give us a look at 'why' people do what they do.The Enneagram emphasizes that we are all different and have different motivators. And to discover what motivates us, it is crucial to find the right balance between extrinsic and intrinsic motivators so we can motivate and energize ourselves (and others) successfully.
These one-word Type Descriptors can be expanded into four-word sets of traits. Keep in mind that these are merely highlights and do not represent the full spectrum of each type.which type best represents you?
Type #1 THE REFORMER/THE JUDGE is principled, purposeful, self-controlled, and perfectionistic.
Type #2 THE HELPER is generous, demonstrative, people-pleasing, and possessive.
Type #3 THE ACHIEVER is adaptable, excelling, driven, and image-conscious.
Type #4 THE INDIVIDUALIST/THE ROMANTIC is expressive, dramatic, self-absorbed, and temperamental.
Type #5 THE OBSERVER/THE EXPERT is perceptive, innovative, secretive, and isolated.
Type #6 THE LOYALIST/THE TROOPER is engaging, responsible, anxious, and suspicious.
Type #7 THE ENTHUSIAST/THE EPICURE is spontaneous, versatile, acquisitive, and scattered.
Type #8 THE BOSS/THE CHALLENGER is self-confident, decisive, willful, and confrontational.
Type #9 THE PEACEMAKER is receptive, reassuring, complacent, and resigned.Want to learn more? Connect with Jackson Therapy Collective for a Customized Enneagram Session, Workshop, or Group Session for you and your people!HERE IS A FLYER FROM OUR LAST ENNEAGRAM WORKSHOP
