Getting to know Natasia James

Hi! I'm Natasia ("Tasi") James, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia. I hold a bachelor's degree from the University of Louisville and a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Kentucky. My path into this field began as an undergraduate Youth Counselor at a residential facility for adolescents in state care, helping young people build coping skills and confidence. From 2016 to 2020, I lived in Japan working as an Assistant Language Teacher while completing my master's, researching mental health access for expatriates—an experience that deepened my understanding of how culture and identity shape wellbeing. I specialize in supporting individuals recovering from eating disorders, chronic dieting, body image concerns, and weight stigma. I practice from a Health at Every Size®-aligned, weight-inclusive perspective: healing isn't about changing your body, but rebuilding trust with yourself and reconnecting with what matters to you. I also work with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, identity exploration, and co-occurring concerns—with adolescents, adults, and families, including LGBTQ+ and BIPOC clients. My approach is integrative, drawing from CBT, DBT, Person-Centered, and trauma-informed therapies, tailored to each person.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In session, expect warmth, curiosity, humor, and honest collaboration. I believe healing happens when people feel safe enough to be fully themselves—it would be an honor to walk that path with you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

You are the expert in your life. My role is to learn about you through your lens and help you find balance and healing through the therapeutic relationship that we develop combined with the expertise and skills I can offer to enhance your resources.
