Does this sound familiar?

Hello, my name is Natalie Boddie, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I received my master’s degree, from Chapman University. I have extensive experience working in Community-Based Mental health and working with Individuals dealing with Anxiety and Depression. My passion is working with Adults and Couples to assist them with developing and utilizing the necessary coping skills, to manage their life situations while addressing relational barriers and historical traumas.

I believe there is a natural tendency toward growth, a desire to be more of ourselves and to enjoy the things we do. For many, that curiosity and vitality has been restricted or shut down. This may lead to feeling depressed, like nothing will change for you. Or anxious, it will only get worse. Or perhaps you sense things could be different and are frustrated, not knowing how to access that new way of being. Psychotherapy is a process through which you can understand how these feelings have come about and how to access your natural tendency toward wellness.

Are you unhappy? Working together with the RIGHT therapist is key to changing that. It's also important to find a psychologist who can work within both your emotional and financial comfort zones. I provide an interactive, warm environment where clients feel comfortable and are productive. Having three psychology degrees, many specialties, and twenty+ years as a clinical expert, I identify and replace clients' negative patterns, thoughts, and feelings with more accurate, positive ones, and work through their deeper, "root" issues for more lasting effects. Change IS possible. Call me now to book a free phone consultation.
