Therapists in Easton, PA

Hi, I’m Natalie. I’m a therapist for those who are looking to process life happenings while building a more nuanced relationship with themselves. Maybe you already consider yourself a fairly introspective person and would like to build upon this. Or, nothing major is “wrong”, though you appreciate having a supportive space to navigate life & process your thoughts and feelings. Or, you understand the nuances of food and body and how they pop up for you now, and would like a therapist who also has an understanding of this part of your story.

Life can be challenging but it doesn’t have to be exhausting. I offer a safe and non-judgmental environment to help individuals process struggles / concerns and help get a better perspective on life. Having a safe place that provides unconditional, positive regard can help an individual to grow and express their best self. I believe in treating the whole person; not just focusing on detriments but also strengths and acceptance of both. My holistic approach includes a variety of modalities including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness and Cultural Sensitivity. I have experience working with individuals with ADHD and learning disabilities and an undergrad degree in Special Education. Furthermore, I have significant practice working with individuals with clinical anxiety and depression, mood disorders, personality disorders and psychosis

My wellness approach encompasses mind, body and spirit with a feminist and multi-cultural perspective.

I do individual, couples, and family therapy. A large percentage of my cases deal with relationship issues and couples counseling as well as anxiety and depression. In July 2010 I authored a book entitled, "Dusting off the Ashes, One Man's Journey Through Post-Traumatic Stress," available on Amazon.com

I have worked primarily with anxiety disorders, OCD, depressive disorders, and have experience working with service animals for mental health disorders. I have experience in a wide range of areas within other areas of mental health as well. I utilize a range of more directive approaches that have flexibility to grow and change during the therapeutic process.

I have experience treating children, adolescents and adults with diverse backgrounds and ranges of concerns.

There are many methods to accomplish this and I will help you explore what works for you.
