Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Hello! My name is Natalie, and I provide therapy services at our McCandless clinic.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with nearly 20 years of experience supporting individuals through therapy in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who are facing a range of mental health concerns that include anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions and other complex emotional and behavioral challenges.
My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized. I believe that effective therapy begins with creating a safe, nonjudgemental space where clients feel heard, understood and respected. I draw upon a variety of modalities including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, ACT, psychodynamic and humanistic therapies. My goal is to not only help clients manage their symptoms, but to empower them to better understand themselves, develop effective coping strategies, build resilience, and feel more confident navigating their lives.
Above all, I’m deeply committed to meeting people where they are and helping them recognize their own capacity for growth, healing and positive change. I look forward to working with you on your journey to wholeness and wellness!
