PRONOUNS she/her
BIO
Natasha “Tasha” Baranow (she/her), is a 2026/2027 graduate counseling intern at CAPS and is in the second year of her master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Bennington College. She holds an MSc in Nature, Society, and Environmental Governance from the University of Oxford and a BA in Environmental Policy from Williams College.
Tasha brings clinical experience from the Counseling Service of Addison County (CSAC) in Middlebury, Vermont, where she works with clients at all different stages of life. Before entering the counseling field, Tasha spent nearly a decade working in sustainable economic development and research across West Africa, Southeast Asia, and the United States.
Tasha is excited to be working with students here at CAPS, and some of her areas of interest include academic stress, identity development, and existential uncertainty. Her clinical approach draws from feminist, liberation, and multicultural theoretical frameworks, and therefore centers on the belief that clients are the experts of their own worlds. When not at the office, you can find Tasha outside in the garden or hanging out on the couch with her house rabbit, Lavender.
