I am Talesha Savage, speaker, workshop facilitator, and owner of TLS Consulting, an education consulting firm devoted to helping school and district leaders create attractive school cultures where leaders and teachers feel respected, valued, and supported. I have helped four schools/departments increase their social emotional support efforts which has impacted approximately 400 educators. 

I leverage my experience as a teacher, school leader, and business owner to help schools and districts attract and retain educators, so they are not constantly starting over. I truly believe a consistent and engaged staff tremendously helps all students and stakeholders shine.

My 15 years as an educator has led me to shift school culture from despair to triumph, develop an onboarding academy, collect and analyze student and staff data, facilitate numerous professional development sessions, and design action plans that led to a stable staff with increased student achievement. 

My approach to school culture is simple; develop a culture based on connections that leverage the strengths of others.

If you desire to have a school where the buy-in is high, collaboration and synergy are the norm, and vacancies are rare, let’s schedule a quick talk.

I am a dedicated and compassionate Secure Attachment Therapist, committed to assisting individuals in breaking free from negative relationship patterns and fostering healthier, more fulfilling connections. With a profound understanding of Attachment Theory and its impact on our emotional well-being, I have dedicated my career to helping people build secure and loving relationships. This begins with the self and overflows to others.

My journey as a therapist began with a deep fascination for human connections and a desire to provide guidance and support to those struggling with relationship issues. Through extensive training and clinical experience, I have honed my skills in recognizing and addressing attachment-related challenges that often lead to toxic patterns of behavior and emotional distress. Most often, I see problems with trust, vulnerability, and safety in intimate relationships. In our work together, we will resolve past experiences that have held you back and restore your emotional health.

I believe that our early experiences with attachment significantly shape our adult relationships. By helping clients explore their attachment histories and understand how these patterns impact their current connections, I empower them to make positive changes. My therapeutic approach is founded on empathy, active listening, and a non-judgmental space where clients can explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences freely.

Working with me, individuals are guided on a journey of self-discovery, helping them to build secure attachment styles that foster trust, intimacy, and healthy communication. I provide tools and strategies to break free from cycles of insecurity, anxiety, and avoidance, allowing my clients to establish and maintain more meaningful, loving relationships.

As a Secure Attachment Therapist, my ultimate goal is to support individuals in achieving emotional resilience and a profound sense of self-worth, ultimately leading to healthier connections with others. I am deeply committed to helping my clients transform their lives and create lasting, positive changes in their relationships, so they can experience the joy and fulfillment that comes with secure attachment.
