Hello, my name is Natasha Mata and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I take a compassionate, person-centered approach and am deeply committed to helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, life transitions, and related challenges. I view therapy as a collaborative process, grounded in respect and curiosity, where clients are seen as the experts of their own experience. No one-size-fits-all model guides my work; instead, I adapt each session to honor the unique strengths, identities, and needs of the person in front of me. My clinical approach integrates evidence-based modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based interventions. These frameworks help clients build self-awareness, develop psychological flexibility, and move toward more meaningful and value-driven lives. As an affirming ally to individuals of all racial, gender, and sexual identities, I strive to offer a space that is inclusive, nonjudgmental, and empowering. I believe that healing and growth happen when people feel safe to show up as their full, authentic selves and I am honored to walk alongside my clients as they do just that.
