I am a Venezuelan-Canadian queer woman of colour with lived experience of migration and I offer services in Spanish and English. I work from an evolving feminist, anti-oppression, sex-positive and poly-affirming framework. Gently and bravely understanding and unpacking the impacts of systemic and colonial structures on the constructs of identity and mental health is crucial for the work that we will do together.  

Creativity, curiosity and compassionate care are at the core of my practice. When journeying through difficult experiences, art becomes a powerful friend for the courageous path of healing and transformation. You do not need to be an artist to be in sessions with me. I deeply believe that the arts can be a portal through which a personal metamorphosis can be facilitated. 

My primary modality is Expressive Arts Therapy, which is informed by more than twenty years of community arts and professional dance practice.  I integrate somatic and emotionally focused therapies as core frameworks in my practice, and I embrace all art modalities into the therapeutic space. My passion lies in working with women, families and children fleeing interpersonal violence; queer communities navigating identity and exclusion; harm-reduction/substance use; and immigrant populations navigating settlement processes. My practice is trauma-centered and rooted in the fundamentals of the client being the expert of their lived experiences.

Tasha Nadia Matar (she/her) is a queer, mixed Polish-Palestinian, 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. Tasha’s practice is open for new clients and sliding scale spots are available. If some of these words have peaked your curiosity, Tasha offers free 15 minute consultations for you to sense into the therapeutic journey.

I'm a queer cis-femme settler relational therapist, and strive to offer a trauma-informed approach, collaborating with clients on how they best feel supported. I draw on relational and feminist psychodynamic therapy that recognizes how our identities, ways of being with others, strategies of survival are shaped by state and social forces, systemic oppression and past wounds. I work from a ENM/poly, queer, enby/trans, neurodivergent, kink, sex work, harm reduction and fat liberationist informed lens. I recognize that colonialist/traditional therapy spaces have often failed to recognize how social injustices shape our access and framing of mental health, and strive to offer an affirming space that encompases a holistic understanding of the socio-political context of our collective wellness. We are collaborators in the therapy space. You're standing from a whole different vantage point, and I want to get to know what you see.

I am a cisgendered, heterosexual Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Canadian Counsellor. My approach is anti-racist, intersectional, trauma-informed, and relational. I am trained in Relational-Cultural Psychotherapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic, Attachment, and Internal Family Systems. I work with clients from a client-led, empathic, and collaborative standpoint. In addressing the various ways that systemic oppression has impacted a client's sense of self and well-being, my goal is to support clients in developing a greater sense of authenticity, self-empowerment, and mutuality. I believe that the quality of our relationships with others and our relationship with ourselves have a large impact on our experiences in the world. 

I have been in practice since 2016 and currently have weekday availability to accept new clients.

I’m a queer woman, an immigrant, neurodivergent, and a person in recovery with lived experience of addiction, grief, and trauma. I bring over a decade of acute care nursing experience, including years at the bedside in ICU, which informs my understanding of the body, survival, and how systems can both support and harm.

My approach is trauma-informed, experiential, relational, and non-pathologizing. I integrate somatic work, parts work, memory reconsolidation, and Coherence Therapy to support deep emotional processing. My areas of focus are: grief, trauma, life transitions, chronic illness, terminal diagnosis, relationship endings/restructuring, and coping strategies that no longer work.

I support adults from all walks of life, including those who are queer, non-monogamous, kinky, and sex workers. I practice from an anti-oppressive lens and remain in continual relationship with my own power, privilege, and internalized conditioning. I believe therapy should be a space where no part of you is dismissed, but instead explored with care and depth.
