Thank you for viewing my profile. I am accepting new clients. My practice services individuals, children, youth, families, and groups.

Welcome! I'm Natasha, a compassionate and empathetic Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. With a strong educational background in Recreation Therapy and Psychology, I am committed to providing top-notch mental care to individuals seeking support and growth. Over the past 4 years, I have had the privilege of working with diverse age groups, including youth, adolescents, and older adults facing various mental health challenges. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.

I believe that every person has the innate capacity to become the best version of themselves. Accepting yourself for who you are and connecting to your own wisdom and strength is what motivates me as a therapist. Together we will find unique strategies to help you move toward your goals and work through challenges, while becoming a better friend to yourself. My approach to therapy is collaborative and integrative, which means we will work together to find an effective approach that fits for you. I have a particular interest in helping people who have experienced trauma.

Loss and grief are highly personal experiences, yet it is common to encounter narrow ideas of how grief should be experienced and expressed. This can be the case for both death and non-death-types of loss that involve people, relationships, roles, and identities. Rather than trying to “move on” or “let go”, which doesn’t feel right for some people, there can be ways to live with and learn from loss. As a registered social worker and psychotherapist, I would like to be a witness to your grief and understand what your loss means to you. We can talk about your feelings in a space based on acceptance, respect, and curiosity.

I work with adult clients with a variety of presenting concerns including but not limited to anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, perfectionism, life transitions, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships.

My therapeutic approach draws on several evidence-based modalities including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), emotion focused therapy (EFT), and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) interventions.

I know that we are all vastly complicated social, intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and physical beings. As a therapist, I am trained to be someone who helps others when challenges, questions, and difficulties in life need to be understood and resolved. I am a cis-gendered, heterosexual male with mixed ethnicity (Black and White) as well as a mixed cultural identity (Bermudian, Canadian, raised in China). My strengths include my ability to create a safe-feeling space, empathetic listening, compassionate speaking, strong intuitive understanding, and acuity at picking up non-verbal clues and connecting dots.

Therapy is not so much as "what do you need from me", but rather, "what do you need from you?" Who would you like to be for yourself? My humanistic background compels me to believe that clients often carry potential for growth that may be nurtured by the therapeutic relationship. While the specifics of clients' issues may vary, ultimately, many of us wish to be heard and understood. Although therapy may be directive at times, I often allow clients to lead and exercise their capacity for change.

Congratulations on taking the first (and often most difficult) step towards healing and building resiliency: seeking therapy and reaching out! My job is to support you as we work to understand your own unique patterns (thoughts, emotions, behaviours), and be your co-pilot in the process of creating a happier and healthier life. Together, we will process your life challenges, collaborate to gain coping skills and build perspective to help manage your experiences, and ultimately become the 'best version' of yourself. I am passionate about bringing authenticity to sessions, with lightheartedness while encouraging individual creativity.

Life has endless challenges for children, youth and young adults these days. Issues that previous generations didn't even need to think about are now part of every day life for younger generations - cyberbullying, worries about school safety, increased rates of mental health struggles, societal conversations about gender and sexuality... On top of that are the issues that have plagued youth for generations - stress, school, dating, friends, and numerous other issues to wade through day by day. Sometimes it's hard to cope with these things on our own though, and that's where I come in.
