Natashia Fuksman, MA MFTi

Natashia brings together her knowledge of maternal health with the needs of parents within a family therapy model. She has an innate ability to provide connection and support with incredible warmth and openness. Her passion and commitment to helping others through difficult times are an inspiration. We need more people like Natashia in this world!

Natashia was my doula trainer years ago. I was fortunate to have her take me under her wing and was always impressed by her intuitive listening and her ability to see different perspectives and bring new things to light for me. Natashia recognized qualities in me before I was able to see them. I am happy to be following in her footsteps as a doula trainer now.

I’ve had the honor of connecting with Natashia recently and learning more about what she offers soon to be parents and new families of all kinds. She is truly a gem.
Her work focusing on family dynamics and wholistic well-​being of the individual has collected much attention as she has many years of experience in many settings both here in the East Bay as well as the East Coast. I think her expertise is most valuable as it is supportive of what one is confronting now while pushing the boundaries to explore what is possible in a compassionate and attentive way.
I would recommend her for anyone looking for perinatal /​maternal health support and the awesome workshops she offers on body image and intimacy in parenting relationships.

Natashia is an intelligent, thoughtful and compassionate clinician and colleague. She brings expertise about life transitions, relationships, body image and sexuality from her previous career supporting pregnant and postpartum women. Her enthusiasm for her work and her dedication to serving others is clear to all who cross her path. Five stars!

I met Natasha years ago while we were both following our passions in maternal health. Natasha was, and still is, a great inspiration to me. Immediately we had a comfortability and a real-​ness to all of our conversations and I soon learned that that is how Natasha conducts all of her communication — real and grounded. I’m honored to receive her mentorship and I can encourage anyone to work with her if you are seeking support.

In my house we are huge Natashia fans. We were scheduled to have Natashia be our mid-​wife in 2010 when my wife was pregnant with my son Benjamin, unfortunately logistics changed and we had to go with another Mid-Wife…However, Natashia made sure we were in good hands and has to this day stayed in touch with my family. She is kind, supportive, knowledgable and passionate about her profession and field of study.
If seeking any of the of services Natashia offers I can’t imagine that full satisfaction and supportive connection would not be made.

I had the opportunity to work with Natashia for several months this year and I truly enjoyed every moment we shared. Some of the skills I observed and continue to recognize in her include vast knowledge and awareness of family dynamics with a focus on parent-​child interactions; embracing and emphasizing multicultural diversity while working with Latino populations; kindly and gently raising awareness around cultural stereotypes, micro-​aggressions, and gender issues; and building positive body images with a variety of people using the Mementos process. I admire her ability to genuinely express her views and reactions in a way others are able to receive with openness and curiosity. She is a very special woman and an equally effective psychotherapist. I highly recommend her as a therapist and would love the chance to work with her again someday.
