Natasha, the founder of Anchoridge Counselling Services, is a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario with an MA in Counselling from Canisius College in New York state. After completing this, Natasha worked with at-risk youth in Miami; she then went onto specialize in working with teens and their families, struggling with difficult life circumstances, with a particular focus on teens with gender identity concerns or gender dysphoria. 

Prior to that, while earning a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and International Studies at the University of Waterloo (UW), Natasha worked at UW’s Health Services where she was involved in peer support services for students with mental health concerns and disabilities. Natasha also worked at the Centre for Psychosexual Health, supporting teens and adults with gender identity issues, gender dysphoria, or sexually inappropriate behaviour.

Natasha hopes that she can truly understand the sentiments and struggles of those who visit her clinic and provide them with the most effective and helpful mode of therapy to work towards their personal growth and sense of accomplishment.
