Everything you need to know about working with me — from what to expect in your first session to how online therapy works.

About therapy
What is therapy and how can it help me?
Therapy is a collaborative, evidence-based process where you work with a trained mental health professional to understand yourself better, process difficult emotions, and build skills for lasting change. At Thrive, therapy helps clients in Montreal and across Canada move beyond survival — addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions in a safe, nonjudgmental space.
How do I know if I need therapy?
You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people seek support when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or like they're just going through the motions. If you find yourself struggling with anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, or major life changes — therapy can help. A free 15-minute consultation is a great first step to see if it feels right.
What should I expect during my first therapy session?
Your first session is an opportunity to get to know each other. We'll explore what brought you to therapy, what you're hoping to achieve, and discuss your background and concerns. There's no pressure to share everything right away — we move at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you. By the end of the session, we'll have a clearer picture of how to move forward together.
How long does therapy take?
The length of therapy varies depending on your goals and what you're working through. Some clients find significant relief in 8–12 sessions; others benefit from longer-term support. We'll regularly check in on your progress and adjust our approach as needed. There's no commitment required — you're in control of your journey.

Ketamine-assisted therapy
Are there therapists in Canada who provide ketamine-assisted therapy?
Yes — Thrive with Nattymoe offers Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT) in Canada. KAT combines the use of ketamine — a legal, safe, and fast-acting treatment — with therapeutic support to help individuals process trauma, reduce anxiety, and shift out of stuck patterns. It is particularly helpful for those who feel traditional therapy hasn't been enough.
What is ketamine-assisted therapy and how does it work?
Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT) uses ketamine to create a window of neuroplasticity — a state where the brain is more open to new perspectives and emotional processing. Combined with therapeutic support before, during, and after the experience, KAT can lead to deeper emotional insight, reduced defenses, and a softening of long-held pain. It's an innovative option for those dealing with treatment-resistant depression, trauma, or anxiety.
How much does ketamine-assisted therapy cost?
Pricing for ketamine-assisted therapy varies depending on the treatment plan. Please contact Natasha directly at natasha.molinaro@outlook.com or 438-993-9164 for more information and to discuss whether KAT is right for you.
Specialties & who I work with
How do I choose a counsellor who specializes in anxiety and trauma?
When looking for a counsellor specializing in anxiety and trauma, look for someone with specific training in trauma-informed approaches like IFS, EMDR, or CBT, and a CCC or RCC designation. Natasha Molinaro at Thrive with Nattymoe specializes in exactly this — with over 10 years of experience and training in IFS, CBT, and DBT, she works with clients dealing with anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and related challenges in Montreal and online across Canada.
Do you offer LGBTQ+ affirming therapy?
Yes — Thrive with Nattymoe is an LGBTQ+ affirming practice. All clients are welcomed and supported regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or relationship structure. Sessions are a safe, nonjudgmental space for everyone.
Do you work with clients dealing with relationship issues and divorce?
