Tasha Hunter

Where lived
truth becomes
liberation.

Tasha Hunter brings the full weight of who she is to every room she enters— as a Black, queer woman. As an Air Force veteran and complex trauma survivor. As a therapist, author, and teacher. Her work doesn't just inform. It transforms.

When I Speak, Audiences Leave With:

  • Language for working with suicidal and self-harm parts without panic

  • A liberatory and inclusive reframe of Internal Family Systems

  • Tools to navigate burnout and overwhelm without abandoning their calling

  • A renewed relationship to intuition and embodied leadership

  • A felt experience of belonging

ABOUT ME

Tasha Hunter, MSW, LCSW, is a Black, queer mental health therapist, military veteran, and nationally recognized speaker helping mental health professionals move from burnout and fear into embodied self-leadership and courageous clinical practice.

A Certified Level 3 IFS Therapist and IFS Approved Consultant, Tasha has trained and consulted with thousands of licensed clinicians across the country, bringing rare depth to some of the field's most challenging conversations — suicide care, clinician burnout, moral injury, and liberatory parts work.

Before private practice, she served as a Patient Safety Manager, investigating suicide deaths and systemic failures within the military healthcare systems. She is also a suicide attempt survivor. These lived and professional experiences give her work an integrity that cannot be taught, and allow her to guide audiences through complex, often avoided topics without shame or panic.

Tasha weaves together IFS, somatic practices, ancestral frameworks, feminist thought, and anti-oppressive principles to create presentations that are clinically rigorous and emotionally resonant. Her audiences don't just learn — they are moved, stretched, and equipped to practice more courageously.

She is the author of three books: Tell Me Where It Hurts, Liberation: An IFS-Inspired Companion for Psychedelic and Ancestral Medicine Experiences, and What Children Remember. She is also the former host of the podcast When We Speak, where she explored healing, identity, and courageous conversation.

Through speaking, writing, and training, Tasha helps organizations cultivate the courage, capacity, and collective care their teams and clients deserve.
