My Background and Approach
I am a Board Certified Music Therapist with a PhD in Expressive Therapies from Lesley University. I root my work in the principles of Healing Justice, using your/our Creativity & Cultural Identity as a catalyst for deep insights, transformative change, and healing. I teach and supervise Music Therapy students and professionals, serve as the Community Relations Director for the Black Music Therapy Network, and am the Creative Director for Black Creative Healing, LLC. I am passionate about supporting & resourcing people in their healing journey, through approaches/frameworks like Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Community Music Therapy (CoMT) and more. My work is Black & Indigenous affirming, as well as being inclusive of Queer and Disabled identities. I also love to integrate multimedia technology into Creative play in both physical and virtual spaces.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a Black (Afri-Caribbean) Queer & Disabled person. I volunteer with an Indianapolis organization for Queer Youth, and am a Steward with the Million Artist Movement, a Black/Indigenous Solidarity project based in Minneapolis, MN. I am also a featured provider with the National Queer Trans Therapists of Color Network (https://nqttcn.com/en/listing/natasha-thomas-phd-mt-bc/). I am passionate about Community Care, including principles of Disability Justice and Abolition in my work.
