Tanasha Wilkinson wasn’t always the therapist who helps others rise from their ruins. Before she became the Principal Social Worker at Mastery of Self, she was a young girl growing up in the thick of chaos — surrounded by domestic violence, drug addiction, narcissistic abuse, and the silent, scarring wound of sexual trauma.
She was taught to keep secrets. To carry the weight. To smile when breaking.
Raised in Toronto, she learned early what it meant to survive in a world where mental health was shamed, silenced, and buried under generational pain. But pain never had the final say in her story.
After years of battling depression, anxiety, and the emotional aftermath of abuse, Tanasha chose a different path — one that would require her to confront every shadow and reclaim every part of herself that the trauma tried to erase.
She didn’t just read the books or take the courses. She lived the transformation. She became the healing.
She helps clients:
Her work is rooted in spiritual alignment, ancestral wisdom, and a deep belief that you are never too broken to begin again. Her book, Once Broken, is a testament to this truth — that even the darkest chapters can birth light, and that every scar can become a symbol of strength.
Tanasha Wilkinson is not just a therapist. She is living proof that healing is possible, transformation is real, and your voice, once silenced, can become your superpower.
At Mastery of Self Inc., we believe you are not broken, you are becoming.
The patterns you carry were once protection. The silence, the shutdown, the striving all sacred responses to survive.
But survival is not the destination. Wholeness is.
Our mission is to guide you beneath the surface, where the old wounds live and the real healing begins.
We don’t offer band-aids. We don’t pathologize pain.
We hold space for you to rewire your nervous system, reclaim your voice, and release the weight of shame, abandonment, and trauma.
You’ll learn to recognize the difference between your true self and your survival self.
To stop chasing people who mirror your wounds.
To stop gaslighting your inner child with “I should be over this.”
To stop settling for the fragments when you were born to live whole.
Whether you’re leading a family, a community, or simply choosing to lead yourself this is where healing becomes mastery.
This is where your story shifts from survival to sovereignty.
At Mastery of Self Inc., we don’t just help you heal. We help you remember who you are.
This book is based on my life story growing up in Toronto as well as the struggles that I went through with my mental health as a sexual abuse survivor.
Mental health is sometimes overlooked by negative influences such as social stigma. Social stigmas make it difficult for those in need and cause them to fear seeking mental health guidance. This book was written to give others hope that there is victory after the storm and to never give up on yourself.
By reading my book, the readers will understand that life challenges help build the path to our destiny. Self-worth is our power to overcome what life has to bring.
My story is my truth, shaped by my resilience, strength to love who I am, and believing in the power of my voice.
