A therapist that will walk towards personal and collective liberation with you..
Natasha Matar
Registered Social Worker | Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Approaches
My tailored approach, tools, techniques, and insights are drawn from the following therapeutic modalities..
Narrative Therapy
Narrative therapy is a powerful and reflective therapeutic approach that uses the art of storytelling to help give voice to your experiences, while also listening for sub-stories that inform who you are and shape your identity.
Internal Family Systems Parts Work
I use internal family systems (IFS) principles so we can get curious about parts of you that may be exiled from your core self due to trauma/adverse life experiences.
Somatic Experiencing & Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
Sensorimotor therapy taps into deepest truths held in the body, dropping from the mind into the physical ‘soma’ to listen to sensation-messages stored within.
Traditional Islamically Integrated Psychotherapy (TIIP)
I am trained in TIIP Level 1, which is an integrative model of mental health care that is grounded in the core principles of Islam while drawing upon empirical truths in psychology.
Liberation Psychology-Informed
I draw from decolonial and liberatory psychoanalytic theory as a foundational framework for creating a radical reparative relational space, where transformative dialogue and deep connection can unfold.
What is art psychotherapy?
Art psychotherapy weaves the creative process with psychotherapy to support the client to express what would otherwise be difficult to articulate. If you are experiencing grief and loss, trauma, chronic pain or illness, and/or neurodivergent disorders such as ADHD or ASD, and often find yourself feeling like you just “can’t find the words” – this may be the approach where you can finally feel seen and heard.
I’m not interested in art that is not in the world. And it’s not just the narrative, it’s not just the story; it’s the language and the structure and what’s going on behind it.
―Toni Morrison
