Meet Natasha

"The way must be in you; the destination also must be in you and not somewhere else in space or time. If that kind of self-transformation is being realized in you, you will arrive." - Nhat Hanh

Philosophy

Recognized for her creative and experiential interventions, Natasha is known for her passionate and integrative approach to teaching and client care. Looking for limits with the intention of gently stretching them, Natasha is determined to meet clients where they are at, while also bridging the gap between barriers and escape. Strongly believing in the power of emotion and felt-sense, Natasha invites clients to experience emotional transformation through sessions that go deeper than cognition. Conceptualizing treatment as an opportunity to explore the varying emotions, structures, systems, notions, and experiences that impact the development and ongoing grapple with self-destructive forms of coping, Natasha allies with clients to curiously explore the stories that suggest struggling is the primary option. 

-       Collaboration: client directed treatment goals

-       Compassion: everyone deserves a life worth living

-       Time limited: therapy does not need to last forever 

-       Consultation: with the community and other involved supports

-       Person-in-environment: sustainability of change is impacted by external environments; therefore, Natasha works with parents and caregivers to support ongoing change outside of session

-       Therapy is only one piece of the puzzle
