Pronouns: She/Her
Latasha Nadasdi, Psy.D., L.P., is a fully licensed Clinical Psychologist. She is experienced with providing individual, couples, and group therapy. She has experience in a number of settings, including University Counseling Centers (including Uva), Inpatient Care, Community Mental Health, and Private Practice. She has been the director of Charlottesville Empowerment since its founding in 2017, and is grateful for the honor of providing a unique and safe space for all, especially those with minoritized identities.
Dr. Nadasdi's integrative approach to therapy emphasizes trauma-informed treatment guided by modern neuroscience, grounded in social-justice and intersectional feminist principles, and personalized to each individual client's unique needs. Therapeutic approaches include cultural-relational, relational and psychodynamic (with an emphasis on Internal Family Systems-IFS), affect focused (with an emphasis on Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy -AEDP), cognitive/behavioral (including CBT, DBT, and ACT), somatic (with an emphasis on the vagus nerve) and humanistic/existential therapies.

​
As a social justice oriented clinician and administrator, Dr. Nadasdi is intentional in considering and integrating issues of power, privilege, and oppression in all of her work.
​
Dr. Nadasdi works with a wide variety of concerns, including (but not limited to) trauma (developmental, event-focused, and oppression based trauma), relationship concerns and interpersonal issues, family of origin issues, life transitions, grief, sexual concerns, minority-stress issues, self-esteem, and identity issues. Dr. Nadasdi works with clients who are 18-years-old and older, and is particularly passionate about working with LGBTQIAP+, Disabled, Immigrant and BIPOC clients.
​As a disabled professional, she deeply values the pursuit of (the constantly moving target that is) work-life balance. In her personal life, she enjoys cuddling and playing with her two fur babies (small dogs, Theo and Riley), social activism, engaging in her own personal growth and healing, and expressing herself through her many hobbies. She is a singer, dancer, and book/tv/movie enthusiast. Her personal growth efforts center around slowing into her body's cues and improving brain-body communication to manage and improve chronic health symptoms as well as deepen and widen connection to self and others.
​
Dr. Nadasdi stands in solidarity with calls for a Free Palestine, Congo, Sudan, and all other occupied territories.
