About Natasha

Natasha Barroso-Salazar, who goes by Tasha, is a Licensed Master Social Worker practicing under the supervision of Courtnie Merrill-Perry, LISW-CPS. Her path began as an Aircraft Firefighter and later as a Mental Health Technician, both as an Airman in the U.S. Air Force. After separating from the military, Tasha graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a Master's in Clinical Social Work and completed an internship at the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center. She has worked as an Intensive Outpatient Program therapist in addiction counseling, has responded to mass casualty events as a member of the Traumatic Stress Response team, and coordinates resources for Veterans through the VA. Tasha has experience helping clients examine their own perspectives and build resilience through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, generational patterns, life transitions, and self-esteem. She welcomes all clients and sees the therapist's role as a guide through the forest of the psyche, walking alongside each step a client takes so the journey feels less lonely, and working together toward the other side the client is seeking. Tasha aims to create an environment of empowerment and compassion, and deeply values the trust and rapport each client offers. When not in the office, she answers the call of the mountains, hiking with her cats and husband in tow. Tasha also loves crocheting, crafting, and reading good books.
