As you might have guessed, Tasha is the founder and director of Belix Psychology.
First-hand, Tasha can tell you that healing is possible. Having experienced the impact of mental health challenges and addiction within her own family, Tasha dedicated the past 25 years to helping others break patterns and heal from trauma. As the mother of three spicy young women, she knows how helpful it is to have an expert hand in supporting your favourite people.
In fact, off the clock, you can often find her running, hiking, snowboarding, or serving on the tennis court.
Twenty years ago, while earning her psychology degree from the University of British Columbia, Tasha worked full-time as a youth worker for PLEA Community Services, mentoring young people in foster care. Between 2001 and 2004, she earned her master’s in counselling psychology from the University of Chicago, all while starting her family.
Upon moving to Calgary in 2006, Tasha worked full-time as a counsellor for the Alberta Alcohol & Drug Abuse Centre in adolescent drug and alcohol treatment. She then worked as a play therapist at Discovery House Family Violence Prevention and later at The Alex Youth Health Center to focus on supporting young people with depression, anxiety and trauma issues.
In 2010, she started a small private practice while working towards the highest level of certification available in Alberta. In 2014, she became a registered psychologist with the Alberta College of Psychologists and formed her practice: Belix Psychology.
Tasha has a passion for working with children, adolescents, and families. As a mother of three girls and a Brownie leader, she is particularly interested in creating opportunities for young people to understand their inner strengths and develop into leaders.
Tasha specializes in affective neuroscience, emotion-focused, expressive arts therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and accelerated resolution therapy (ART) for youth and families. She works from an attachment-based perspective and is trauma-informed.
