Areas of Expertise
Dr. Natasha Williams is a Clinical Psychologist, Radical Self-Care, Wellness and Leadership Expert. She is one of the founding clinical directors of Allied Psychological Services located in Toronto, Canada, which is an anti-oppressive, multiethnic, multi-lingual psychological clinic.
Dr. Natasha’s work is published in academic journals. She is a bestselling author, an international professional speaker, and a certified Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion corporate trainer.
She moves women from “typical self-care” to radical self- care by redefining selfishness so that they can improve their physical, emotional and mental health. During her more than 15 year career as a Clinical Psychologist, she has empowered women to challenge their gender, cultural and ethnic paradigms in order to create a new narrative for themselves. This allows them to work through their healing process, live their life on their own terms, and ultimately become the best versions of themselves.
