With a background in nursing and clinical program leadership, Natasha Gaffaney, AMFT, brings a powerful mix of professional insight and therapeutic care to her work. She specializes in helping healthcare workers, high-stress professionals, and individuals facing career shifts, burnout, or personal setbacks.

Natasha believes healing starts by meeting people exactly where they are. Her style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that we are not defined by our past pain—but empowered by how we move forward.

She works with individuals, couples, and families to explore purpose, build emotional resilience, and develop coping skills that reduce stress and improve relationships. Her approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and attachment theory. Clients describe her as compassionate, empowering, and practical.

Whether you’re a nurse facing burnout, a parent juggling too much, or someone seeking a fresh start, Natasha helps clients rewrite their stories with clarity and courage.

Natasha is supervised by Kathleen "Kay" Wenger, M.A., LMFT #38183, LPCC #1450. She offers sessions in Laguna Beach and online via Telehealth.

Who I Work Best With: I work best with professionals, caregivers, and individuals feeling the emotional toll of burnout, career stress, or life changes. I especially connect with healthcare workers, women navigating demanding roles, and clients seeking therapy that feels collaborative, supportive, and purposeful.

If you're feeling drained, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your sense of self, I offer a grounded, empowering space to begin again.
