For over 40 years, I have been serving clients and my community in both California and -- more recently -- Idaho as a psychotherapist, radio talk-show host, college instructor, career and workplace consultant, aging counselor, and child development expert. ​ Being able to recognize the patterns, pain, and issues that prevent people from living healthy lives is an essential skill for any therapist. In my twelve years of academic training and forty years of clinical work, I have fine-tuned this skill and gained a wealth of experience to help my clients achieve lasting, positive changes in their lives. ​ I believe that empathy, trust, and honesty are the cornerstones of the therapeutic process. I further believe that everyone has the capacity for change and self-growth. However, healing and growth can occur only when we feel safe enough to explore the issues that trouble us. Therefore, my goal is to create a supportive environment where clients can explore new ways to resolve their struggles so that they can reach their full potential as professionals, parents, lovers, people. ​ You and I will work actively together towards this goal. By balancing my capacity for analysis with a compassionate heart, I will lend you my strength so that you will have the courage to find you own.

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. —Nastasia Freeman, LMHC, LPCC, LPC, NPT-C Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul be just another human soul. - C.
