Natasha Latta
Marriage and Family Therapist Intern

Natasha graduated from Loma Linda University with a BS in nursing. She started out her professional life working as a Registered Nurse in an ICU setting. She was drawn to the relational aspect of working with patients and their families in crisis. This led her back to school to gain a Masters degree in Psychology at Cal Poly University in San Luis Obispo.

While at Cal Poly, Natasha worked as a graduate assistant, running the Community Counseling Center which provides much-needed low cost therapy to the community. She also trained at the Santa Maria Youth and Family Center, working with children and their families in crisis, using a family systems approach.

Natasha feels a deep sense of compassion and connection to her work with clients struggling with eating disorders based on her own journey and recovery from anorexia and bulimia. It is her desire to encourage and inspire a sense of self-acceptance and empowerment.
