Hello, I'm Nastasia! I’m a Licensed Psychotherapist with an edge, unapologetically doing what it takes to feel well, and help others do the same.
Based out of San Diego, I provide individual and relationship therapy throughout the state of California, Florida, and Texas.
I specialize in the treatment of Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma, anxiety, and attachment. Providing individual and relationship trauma therapy, I’m one of the few providers in the San Diego and Riverside area, specializing in relationship trauma therapy—helping those in committed relationships that are affected by interpersonal symptoms associated with past trauma and PTSD.
I have received professional training and certification in Neuropsychotherapy and Clinical Trauma to promote brain change for the management of post traumatic stress disorder and anxiety.
Candidly, I value authenticity and transparency. I’m a survivor of trauma, and I believe connection and transparency are a large part of healing. I’m a trauma therapist, but I also empathetically understand what it feels like to be the one sitting on the couch, and not in the chair.
Trauma is complex and therapy does heal. While I have the credentials and expertise in the treatment of trauma, the most important thing I want people to know about me is, I know balance. I know when to put down the manuals, evidence, & interventions and really see the person in front of me—validate their pain, experiences, perspective, and culture.
For me, it’s about seeing people past a diagnosis. I want people to feel seen, heard, and believed. I’m convinced there is no greater technique or practice than humanity—the collectiveness of humankind, and living amongst, and connecting with others empathetically and with compassion.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Nastasia is patient and kind. She listens and provides feedback, knows when to push and when not to. I love talking to her
Nastasia has been a wonderful therapist. She listens, she explains, she informs, and she cares. I'm so glad I found her through Better help.
Nastasia is so caring and kind. She listens and remembers my concerns. She helps me to understand the world around me and my reaction to it. I love talking to her; I'm always looking forward to our sessions.
Nastasia is incredibly intuitive, empathetic, focused, and adept. I have great confidence in her and am grateful for her help.
Thank you for your promptness and compassion!
She has been very welcoming and supportive. The specific methods of therapy she has enacted for my therapy are very helpful for my specific issues and I enjoy speaking with her at every session.
It is still very early in my process with Nastasia, but she is someone that has my confidence that, going forward, we will do good work together.
