Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida. I have several years of experience providing therapy services. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression.

Please visit my website at www.natalieknighttherapy.com. I believe we are shifting rapidly these days in a world that dictates that we find a new way to Be. As we are being asked to come out of the habitual fight/flight/freeze way of interfacing with our environment we must meet this challenge by coming to see our world from a place of harmony and balance. By utilizing the strength of therapeutic alliance, my speciality is to gently guide your mind into experiencing emotions that are being held within and begin to help show the client ways to move through the imbalance.

“What is wrong with me?” you ask yourself for the umpteenth time today. That voice in your head never lets up. “Why do I even bother?” “I’m such a hot mess!” You try so hard to be perfect, please everyone, and never let people down, but it’s not enough. So you turn on yourself, repeatedly falling into destructive cycles of overcompensation and self-sabotage. It extends to every aspect of your life. Your last few relationships have all fizzled out before they even got started. No matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to make anything work in your life. You can't even put it into words really. You just feel empty. You feel stuck.

I am an experienced therapist in Pensacola for over 30 years. I earned my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from The University of West Florida and my Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from the Florida State University. I have worked in a wide variety of clinical settings.
