I want to acknowledge your courage in taking steps towards improving your mental health and wellbeing. You may have found yourself here because you are seeking something - maybe relief from emotional pain, clarity of your goals, or support during a difficult time. Perhaps you are stressed by the demands of work or school, or are having challenges coping with global issues or changes in your life. Maybe you are noticing that uncomfortable feelings like anxiety or sadness are becoming more constant and impacting your functioning or relationships. I want you to know that whatever your "mountain" is, you don't have to climb it alone.

My treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems Theory and mindfulness with a culturally sensitive approach.
Have you been feeling stuck with your negative emotions? Do you still feel sadness and emotional pain after years of treatment? Does it seem that no one understands your problems and that you feel “alone”? There is no simple formula to solve unwanted and unresolved emotions. I work with chronic anxiety and trauma, including generational trauma. In my practice, I emphasize the mind and body connection and incorporate Eastern philosophy to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment.

It can be difficult to open up about your personal struggles to a stranger. Many racial/ethnically diverse clients find it to be a distinct challenge: “we can’t find a therapist who understands our cultural/religious beliefs & it is too emotionally exhausting to explain it.” In this journey of self-exploration and coping with life’s struggles, the last thing you need is a counselor that you need to educate, feel fearful to talk to about culturally sensitive issues due to judgment or stereotypes, or to feel retaliation from someone who is supposed to provide you a safe space. Natasha aims to create this space for everyone she sees.

I take a custom-tailored, strengths-based, and culturally sensitive approach to therapy that's infused with humor and compassion.
Ever think to yourself "...why am I like this?!" and become frustrated that you just can't seem to let go and move on? Pause for a moment, and know that your thoughts, feelings, and very existence are all valid. Being seen and heard (and not just shouting into the void) simply as we are and where we are in life plays significantly into creating the confidence to face challenges, and then continuing to thrive. You are deserving of finding balance, harmony, and evolving into your most genuine self.

I will be a companion on the journey to assist with self-exploration in a non-judgmental, person-centered, trauma-focused, culturally sensitive manner that identifies the strengths that have assisted you thus far.
My ideal client would be someone who is sick and tired of being sick and tired of struggling mentally. This person would have years of experience with close relationship failure and consistent loss, have seen or been a victim of domestic violence, been verbally or physically abused as a child, and or experienced poverty. They will have either ignored the signs or continued to survive because of fear of what others would think. The person will need to understand what they are experiencing is not their fault, and their goal is to break free of the cycle that has continued for so long.

Culturally Sensitive Therapists

How does culturally sensitive therapy work?

A culturally sensitive therapist will tailor their approach to therapy based on the individual client’s background. This may include changing their style of interaction (asking open-ended questions vs. being the “expert” voice), their affect (seeming warm or “neutral”), how much personal information they disclose about themselves, and more. It’s also important for a culturally sensitive therapist to acknowledge larger societal forces that may impact their client due to the client’s background.

How effective is culturally sensitive therapy?

Some professionals have expressed concern about highlighting cultural differences in therapy, suggesting that it might promote stereotypes and harm the therapeutic bond; however, many experts agree that cultural sensitivity tends to strengthen the connection between therapist and client and help clients feel heard and understood. A culturally sensitive approach to therapy can be especially helpful for those not in the cultural majority, especially when combined with proven therapies like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

What are the limitations of a culturally sensitive approach to therapy?

While being culturally sensitive is generally a valuable skill to have, a therapist cannot treat every client from a similar background the same way. Each client is an individual with their own values, personal preferences, and life experiences that will need to be explored during therapy. In addition, it’s rare for a therapist and client to have identical backgrounds, so there may be some cross-cultural differences to navigate during therapy, but a culturally sensitive therapist can do so with empathy and respect.

Can culturally sensitive therapy be done online?

Yes, online therapy using a culturally sensitive approach can be beneficial. Therapy can sometimes be difficult to access for clients from diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic standing. The array of mental health support available through the internet makes it possible for clients to find a good therapist match regardless of where they live.
