I’m Natasha Molinaro, a therapist based in Montreal, Quebec, passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges through counseling and therapy. I am registered with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association as a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC). My academic background includes a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Sociology, as well as a Master’s in Counselling Psychology, giving me a deep understanding of how mental health is shaped by both our inner world and the environment around us.
I believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health. That’s why I use evidence-based techniques—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing—to tailor support to your unique needs.
Whether you’re seeking anxiety therapy in Montreal, trauma counseling in Quebec, or online therapy across Canada, I provide a safe, compassionate space where you don’t have to face life alone. Together, we’ll work toward healing, balance, and the ability to truly thrive.

Education
Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology – Yorkville University
This degree has equipped me with the clinical expertise and therapeutic skills to support individuals facing a wide range of mental health issues.
Master of Science in Sociology – University of Amsterdam
Focus: Gender, Sexuality, and Society
During my studies, I explored the social construction of gender and sexuality, learning that much of what we understand is based on generational and historical beliefs.
The Netherlands’ progressive approach to gender and individuality significantly shaped my perspective, allowing me to understand how societal constructs can limit us.
My academic experience emphasized breaking down these barriers, helping individuals embrace their true selves, free from societal limitations.
