About Me and My Approach

Hello and welcome. My name is Tasha Marshall, a Registered Social Worker with the Newfoundland and Labrador College of Social Workers (NLCSW), based in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, NL. I provide in-person counselling services in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, as well as virtual counselling for clients across Newfoundland and Labrador. This flexibility ensures you can access support in a way that best fits your comfort and schedule.

Through my private practice, Next Chapter Counselling and Wellness Services, I provide trauma-informed, strengths-based, and client-centred care tailored to each person’s experiences, needs, and goals.

I hold a Master of Social Work, a Graduate Certificate in Mental Health and Addictions, a Bachelor of Social Work from Dalhousie University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Memorial University of Newfoundland. I have nearly a decade of experience working in the field of mental health and addictions. Throughout my career, I’ve supported individuals navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, substance use, stress, major life transitions, and other challenges that can affect daily life and well-being

My approach is holistic and collaborative. I integrate a variety of evidence-informed modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Desensitization of Triggers and Urge Reprocessing (DeTUR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills, and Play Therapy techniques.

I strive to create a safe space where clients feel heard, empowered, and supported in their healing process. Whether you’re seeking recovery, clarity, growth, or simply a space to feel seen - I’m here to walk alongside you as you begin your next chapter.

Insurances and Direct Billing:

I can currently direct bill most major insurance providers such as Canada Life, Manulife, SunLife, Desjardins, Medavie Blue Cross, and others. Direct billing is also available for Indigenous clients through Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) and related programs. If you’re unsure about your coverage, please check with your insurance provider to confirm if social work services are included under your plan.

If you do not have insurance coverage, payment can be made by cash, e-transfer, or credit card. A receipt will be provided for your records and can be used for tax or reimbursement purposes. A limited number of reduced-rate sessions are available through a sliding scale to support accessibility for those without insurance coverage, subject to eligibility criteria.

How to Book Appointments:

Appointments can be booked by email or through the online system. When booking, please select the option on the left-hand side that best suits your preference (in-person or virtual). If you don’t see a time that works for you or if there is no time available, please click “Add yourself to the waitlist” at the bottom of the calendar, or email me directly at tasharmarshall@outlook.com and I’ll be happy to find a time that works best for you.
