Natasha Stasiuk
Natasha works with teens ages 14+ and adults experiencing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, abuse, infidelity, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns and major life transitions.
Natasha is particularly well suited to people who feel stuck and are trying to understand both what has shaped them and what they want to change next. She is curious and reflective in the way she works, paying attention not only to what a client says but also to patterns in mood, reactions and body language that may help make sense of what is happening.
She helps clients slow things down enough to notice recurring patterns in thoughts, emotions, relationships and responses. That can make it easier to understand why certain situations continue to feel difficult, why the same reactions keep returning, or why someone may feel caught between wanting change and not knowing what direction to take.
Natasha’s work is also forward-looking. Once there is greater clarity about what is happening, she helps clients identify what they want to be different, recognize strengths and resources they already have, and move toward goals that feel meaningful and realistic. Her style combines reflection with practical direction rather than focusing only on the past or only on immediate solutions.
Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and mindfulness. She adapts counselling to the individual, using different approaches based on the person, their concerns, their goals and what becomes important through the work.
Natasha has 20 years of experience working with children, youth and adults in a variety of settings, with more recent experience focused on youth.
She holds a Master of Social Work from York University and a Bachelor of Social Work from McMaster University. Natasha is a Registered Social Worker.
