Hi, I'm Natalia

A dedicated psychotherapist committed to empowering individuals to overcome challenges and achieve personal growth

 

As a Brazilian immigrant living in Canada and a neurodivergent individual with ADHD and autism, I bring a unique perspective to my practice. I’m also a proud mom of a neurodivergent child, which has deepened my understanding and compassion for those navigating similar challenges.

 

Throughout my journey, I explored various paths but found my true purpose in helping others through therapy. I specialize in supporting individuals with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and depression, using a range of approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Informed Therapy, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), and Adlerian Therapy.

​

I believe in creating a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore their feelings, build resilience, and achieve personal growth. I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.

Neurodiversity is beautiful!

Autism and ADHD

Our Autism and ADHD therapy focuses on addressing neurodivergent symptoms through Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. We help clients understand autism symptoms and develop personalized strategies to thrive in their daily lives.

Self-esteem and impostor syndrome

Our therapy for self-esteem and impostor syndrome supports individuals navigating feelings of inadequacy often linked to neurodivergent conditions. We provide trauma counselling and strategies to foster resilience and self-acceptance.

Anxiety & depression

We offer compassionate therapy for anxiety and depression, tailored for neurodivergent individuals. Our approach includes DBT and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, helping clients explore their feelings and regain control over their lives.

The Perks of Holistic Wellness with Us

At Luna Psychotherapy, Natalia brings a unique, holistic approach to wellness, shaped by her experiences as a Brazilian immigrant, a neurodivergent individual, and a parent of a neurodivergent child. This diverse perspective allows her to offer personalized therapy that integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Informed Therapy, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), and Adlerian Therapy. 

 

The advantages of this approach include a profound empathetic understanding of diverse challenges, a broad spectrum of therapeutic methods customized to individual needs, and a supportive, nurturing environment conducive to personal growth. However, potential drawbacks may involve the necessity for a highly individualized approach, which can be time-consuming and may require continuous adjustments to precisely meet each client’s needs. Despite these considerations, the holistic and compassionate care provided at Luna Psychotherapy presents a promising avenue for achieving a balanced and fulfilling life.
