Takıyah Walcott, LMFT, CST
About
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in New York and Florida providing individual, couples, and family therapy for many years. I have experience in helping with communication, conflict resolution, rebuilding trust, working through betrayal/infidelity, and generally coaching clients through developing effective coping skills. I also work with ethically non-monogamous couples. I'm here to assist you, you & your partner and/or family in improving your quality of life!
Within my work, I am trained in and typically lean towards working with the Gottman Method, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Multisystemic Therapy (MST).
I am also an AASECT certified sex therapist with extensive experience in supporting individuals and couples through intimacy and sex related concerns, compulsive sexual behaviors, porn addiction, sex addiction, erectile dysfunction, vaginismus, sexual trauma etc. Sex can be a taboo topic at times for some individuals and it's important that you have a safe space and nonjudgmental/well-informed perspective when addressing the topic and I'm happy to support with holding that space for you.
Many people take time to commit to begin therapy, or may have had a less than positive or productive experience previously in therapy. Whatever your reasons for your hesitation, past or present, it is important to have a professional that not only understands this skepticism, but is open to addressing it and allowing your tentativeness the time and space it deserves. Now is the time to start your journey to healing and I’m here to help guide you along the way.
