Natasha Kinto (Lumbee) is a licensed clinician who combines specialized training in mental health and addictions with a culturally informed approach to care.
She holds licensure to practice as a clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina and maintains a clinical professional counselor credential in Nevada, along with national board certification and a credential as a clinical addictions specialist associate. She completed a Master of Arts in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The University of North Carolina at Pembroke in May 2017 and brings six years of professional experience to her work.
Natasha received a fellowship to study addictions and to deliver culturally competent services for underserved populations, and she has worked with college students, young adults, adults, and elders in both individual and group therapy settings. Her therapeutic approach blends Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy with a trauma-informed stance and principles of Motivational Interviewing. She focuses on clients' motivation to change, on identifying and reframing irrational thoughts, and on understanding how beliefs influence behavior.
