Meet Sasha
My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…
Moving from feeling disconnected and weighed down by anger and anxiety, to finding a real sense of safety at a nervous system level, and the freedom to express all my emotions in a healthy and transformative way.
Uncovering the hidden implications of our family’s past—a missing link too often overlooked—healing old wounds, restoring balance, and awakening a deeper connection to spirituality in the process.
Embracing parenting as a powerful journey of healing and personal growth, where every challenge becomes an opportunity to understand deeper patterns and break cycles, creating a healthier future for ourselves and our children.

Booking FAQ
Does Sasha offer direct billing with my insurance? Or how does payment work?
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs and your card is charged, you’ll receive a PDF receipt by email with all the details you need to get reimbursed (therapist name, designation, license number, address, etc.). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage. We always recommend checking your coverage with your provider before booking.
How do I know if Sasha is a good fit?
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who’s the right fit. Watch the therapist’s video at the top of their profile and see whether the message and energy resonate. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut — booking a free consultation is a great first step to assess fit.
What if I see no available times to book a session?
If the therapist is listed as accepting clients and you see no available times, it’s likely they haven’t updated their availability (sorry about that!). In this case, you can to see what times they have available.
