​

Natasha Moonka is a graduate student at Lamar University working to obtain her master’s in clinical Mental Health Counseling.  She holds a Bachelor of Science in Advertising from The University of Texas at Austin and lives in Austin, Texas. Natasha is a first-generation Indian American who grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico and has largely called Austin home since 2006. 

After over a decade working at big Tech companies, and struggling with burnout, anxiety and depression, Natasha realized she found more fulfillment and passion in learning and teaching others about mental health. Her dual identity as an Indian American led her to explore cultural identity issues and family dynamics to heal her own childhood wounds and helped her realize that she wants to help others do the same.

Natasha wants to help high-achieving professionals, especially those who belong to marginalized groups, process their identity issues, burnout anxieties, relationship dynamics and more.  Areas of interest include: Identity Issues, Bi-cultural Family Dynamics, Adult Child and Parent Relationship Issues, Racial Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Women’s Issues, Loneliness, Low Self-Esteem, Personal Growth, Grief & Loss (including Pet Loss), Relationships and Marital Issues,  Career Transitions/Stressors, Burnout, Neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism). 

In her spare time, Natasha enjoys gardening, playing with her dog, and enjoying the many watering holes that Austin has to offer
