Aleigha Talsma

I provide individual counseling services to clients of all ages in both virtual and in-person settings. I conduct comprehensive assessments to evaluate clients’ mental health, emotional functioning, and overall treatment needs, and I develop individualized treatment plans tailored to their therapeutic goals.

In my role, I facilitate Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) mental health groups, where I provide psychoeducation, teach coping and emotional regulation skills, and support clients in improving their overall mental wellness. I also lead Outpatient (OP) substance abuse groups focused on relapse prevention, recovery support, and skill development related to maintaining sobriety.

• I did my first two semesters of internship at HOPE Counseling in Lebanon, KY. I worked with individuals of all age’s male and female. I absolutely loved what I did there and can’t wait continue my career in counseling.

• I was one of the assistant coaches at Lindsey Wilson College while pursuing my masters degree. I had to make practice plans, run practice, throw batting practice, work with the hitters, pitchers, and infielders. I also interacted with the players, offered them advice, and counseled them as needed.

• Interact and work with students in the classroom and on the softball field. Motivate them to be the best students, and athletes they can be. Try to get everything out of them and make them smile.
