Supervisor
Fatima Natascha Lawrence, M.A., RCC-ACS, BCRPT-S
I use she/her/hers pronouns.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor Supervisor, BC Registered Play Therapist Supervisor, Certified Synergetic Play Therapy Supervisor, and EMDR practitioner. Over the last 15 years, through FASD Counselling, I have specialized in working with neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with FASD, children, youth, and adults.
My teachers include Eurocentric theories of somatics, interpersonal neurobiology, trauma-informed, attachment, EMDR, expressive arts, and Synergetic Play Therapy. These teachings have fueled my passion for guiding connections to culture, communities, histories, ancestors, and creation.
I am inspired by my Indigenous colleagues and the Elder teachers who have blessed and permitted me to share their wisdom and teachings about working with neurodiversity.
I provide individual and group supervision and have been a consultant to various organizations and programs, includingSchool Districts, MCFD, and CLBC.
The Gifts you Carry
The FASD Institute is proud to announce the publication of our book!
All children are sacred and carry gifts. Go on a journey with a grandmother and her grandchild as they discuss the gifts and sacredness of the child as a person with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Through an Indigenous lens, the strengths and potential solutions to challenges faced by a person with FASD will be explored.
