Hi there, I'm Nastasia!

I have worked in the mental health field with children in school, community mental health, crisis, and foster care settings. I have experience working with adults in both arenas of severe crisis to brief support to process stressors. My focus areas of practice are cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR.

My focus

My client focus ranges from working with pre-teens to older adults. I am most comfortable treating trauma, PTSD, and brief crises.

My approach

My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each patient I work with. I most frequently utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR.

My communication style

In my work, I use a tone most suited to the needs of a client. I am happy to sit with you in silence or give back-and-forth feedback, if it provides the most accurate level of support that you need.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love being a therapist and take joy in being a part of the healing journey of all my clients.

My goals for you

In session, we will discuss treatment goals and establish a plan for reaching these goals.

Our first session

During the first session, we will discuss your history, if any, with therapy and what outcomes you expect to have when treatment has ended.
