You carry the heaviest decisions. This is where you get to put them down.
Welcome to Retune Space, a place for warm, candid therapy in service of medical professionals, caregivers, and public figures navigating moral injury, existential distress, and the quiet question of "how do I keep doing this without losing myself?"
RETUNE: transitive verb. to tune again or in a different way—especially, to readjust.
Hello, I’m Tahlia
I’m not everyone’s therapist—and that’s a relief for both of us.
As a licensed therapist, bioethicist, and doctoral researcher. I work with people whose roles carry outsized responsibility: physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, caregivers, executives, and public figures.
My work sits at the intersection of ethics, trauma, culture, and what happens to humans in systems that often grind them down. I bring research depth, clinical experience, and a style that's warm, direct, and welcoming of humor about this experience of living.
If you’re looking for traditional therapy with vague affirmations, or heavy validation, I’m probably not your person. If you want thoughtful, ethics‑informed, culturally aware care with room for the absurdity of being human, we might be a good fit. I’m here to support you in finding your truth that you want guiding your path forward.

Hello, I’m Enya
Psychiatric service dog, companion, and therapy dog. I’m often in the office and happy to provide you additional support—or just keep to myself in the corner looking wise.
Sitting with me will feel different. I am here to support you in aligning with your purpose by identifying the values you want shaping your life to enable meaningful and lasting change.
You won't find stuffy or boring here. My approach is built around your actual life—the one behind the title, the badge, and the public face. We'll talk about what's genuinely working for you, what gives you the "ick" ("ugh, gross, I don't like this"), and how to build a life that doesn't just look successful from the outside.
What to expect in session:
Candid and warm— I'll be honest with you and meet you with care. This is a place where you can say the unsayable without being judged for it.
Deep and practical— We zoom out to systems you're in, the history you carry, and the roles you're playing. Then we zoom back in to what you can actually shift in your real life.
A little irreverent — We'll probably laugh, even when things are hard. Humor is not disrespect; it's how many of us survive.
Total confidentiality — Reputation, privacy, and sensitivity are non‑negotiable. Whether you're managing public scrutiny, institutional politics, or leadership pressure, your story stays here.
Who I work with.
-
Therapy for Healthcare Professionals
For physicians, nurses, residents, therapists, social workers, and other clinicians navigating burnout, moral injury, compassion fatigue, and the quiet realization that performing "fine" is no longer working.
Your nervous system has been absorbing impossible systems for years. This is where you get to be honest about the cost—and figure out what comes next.
-
Therapy for Public Figures
For people whose lives carry public weight or relentless caregiving responsibility—executives, founders, creatives, public personalities, and family caregivers navigating existential distress, identity shifts, grief, and the loneliness of everyone expecting you to strong and forgetting you having needs too.
Your story deserves depth, not headlines.
-
Leadership & Ethics Consultation
For leaders and professionals in the hot seat, making decisions that affect other people's lives and wondering how to lead with integrity when the system doesn't make it easy.
Confidential consultation on ethical dilemmas, values alignment, moral residue, and building leadership that actually matches who you want to be.
Values and Commitments.
I am continually committed to centering people with marginalized identities (LGBTQIA2S+, all people of color, the indigenous community, disabled, neurodivergent, immigrant, and otherwise marginalized communities). I value and practice cultural humility and culturally responsive care, not assuming “one size fits all—actively examining power, oppression, and systemic factors when appropriate—and never framing distress as a solely individual failing.
Let’s see if we’re a fit.
The best way to start is a brief consult—20 minutes to talk about what's bringing you in, ask questions, and see whether working together feels like a "yes" in your gut, not just on paper.

This work tends to be a good fit if:
You’re used to being the responsible one and have a hard time asking for help
You’re wrestling with resentment, grief, or anger you don’t feel allowed to have
You’re tired of performing “fine” for everyone else and want one space where you don’t have to
You want someone who understands ethics, systems, and power—not just individual coping skills
It might not be the right fit if:
You’re looking for quick hacks to keep doing the exact same thing with less feeling
You’re not ready to look at your own patterns at all (even gently)
You need acute crisis/24‑7 support—I can help you find a higher level of care in that case
