Tasha Nadia Matar (She/Her) is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Art Psychotherapy Candidate, and Registered Social Worker who dances between both worlds of mixed race experiences, neurodivergence, diasporic belonging/un-belonging, and the bridges of personal to systemic issues. She seeks to support clients to find the liminal space between to feel safer in their minds, souls and bodies. She uses eclectic modalities such as dialectical behavioral therapy, internal family systems, and sensorimotor therapy woven with play and art-based therapy to create a space where clients are able to imagine different possibilities, and futures of personal and collective liberation. Tasha is an experienced trauma therapist that brings her experience working with newcomers both in groups and 1:1 for over a decade. Through her personal experience as a child of immigrants and her experience working with survivors of political trauma and refugees, she has witnessed play be muted due to the need to survive. This is universal to anyone who has had adverse experiences that taught them to grow up fast, including complex childhood trauma. Her clients tend to be old souls with immense wisdom that had to grow up too quick due to trauma, and are seeking to reconnect with the wisdom of their childhood self. Tasha believes that play and creativity are vital sources of wisdom that help adults find freedom, and is always accessible to us despite circumstances. If some of these words have peeked your curiosity, Tasha offers free 30 minute consultations for you to sense into the therapeutic journey.
