Therapists in Fort Thomas, KY

I work with children, adolescents, and adults on a variety of issues. I am an Adlerian therapist, which means I see value in belonging and meaning-making. I also integrate neuroscience while building relationships with my clients. This is especially useful when helping clients work through developmental issues, trauma, and grief. Situations and experiences do not define us. Instead, with insight and support, we have the opportunity to define who we are and what we might contribute to the world. I have also studied appropriate techniques for incorporating spirituality as a source of hope and connectedness to culture and community.

I am pledged toward collaborating with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in understanding their life choices with resources in school, work, and community. As collaborative partners, we can undertake short and long term solutions that can strengthen the client's physical and emotional health and best interest. By creating solutions, the client will be able to build and strengthen their motivation and success in their daily activities, interests, and relationships.

Being a Solution-Focused therapist, I can help you set goals and find direction. Whether you need clarity with individual issues or are dealing with marital or family concerns, together we can develop a path to recovery.

I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span from therapy for depression and grief counseling to parenting support, couples counseling and beyond.

We provide holistic counseling services that aim to meet the emotional needs of individuals throughout the community. Areas of specialization include managing moods, working through interpersonal conflict, and improving emotional management/coping associated with anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Through the application of diagnostic assessments and services geared towards individuals, we strive to meet the holistic, psychosocial, and ever-changing needs of our clients.

Finding the right therapist is not a one-size-fits-all process. It is important to find someone who you feel connected with. For that reason, I do not charge for the first session if, for any reason, you decide not to schedule a second session. (Only after a second session will I charge for both the first and second sessions.) My goal is to make this process as stress-free as possible for you. Much of my clinical experience has been focused on helping people resolve symptoms of depression, anxiety and trauma. Burnout and performance anxiety have also been major presenting issues I've helped clients navigate and resolve.

Feeling weighed down by grief, depression, anxiety, and trauma? Maybe you're having trouble making sense of it all and moving forward. Perhaps you are experiencing relationship issues and setting healthy boundaries with family, friends, and significant others? Maybe your career/education path just isn't meeting your needs. You want to feel better about yourself and learn healthy skills to live your life to the fullest. You deserve it.

I can help you learn healthy ways to move forward and achieve your goals in life. You may feel weighed down by grief, depression, anxiety, or trauma. Perhaps you experience relationship issues or setting healthy boundaries with family, friends, and significant others. Maybe your career/education path just isn’t meeting your needs. Maybe you developed some less than healthy ways to address your issues. What would it take to make you feel happier, more satisfied, and more self-confident?

Counseling provides an accepting environment to explore issues and identify what we want to change, stop, or bring into our life. Once what we want is clear, it becomes easier to see what is in our way, and what steps we need to take to move forward.

It's like a deep tissue massage of the mind, said a client after a session. And I couldn't agree more! Our innate healing potential can feel out of reach when we're overwhelmed with feelings, thoughts, and uncomfortable physical sensations due to anxiety, trauma, and stress. But with IFS therapy and me as a guide, I can help you access the healing energy within. Together, we can befriend and heal the parts inside you that are stuck in extreme roles and help these parts feel free and light. "I experienced a shift that changed everything. I can't recommend Natalie highly enough."- Client.

I specialize in Gender Therapy. I'm able to assess and write GAS and HRT letters when appropriate. I primarily work with trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming individuals working through varying topics like interpersonal conflict, day-to-day stressors, gender exploration, or past trauma.

Do you feel like you’re always on high alert, waiting for the other shoe to drop? Are chunks of your life missing, leaving blank spots where memories should be? Do you find yourself replaying certain experiences over and over again? If so, you’re not alone. Over 70% of adults have experienced at least one traumatic event in their lifetime. Trauma can leave you feeling like you’re fighting for your life, even when you’re perfectly safe.

When the the decision fatigue is real- Feeling overwhelmed with all the responsibilities of adulting? Trying to find a good work/life balance? Finding yourself stuck in a cycle of being attracted to all the “wrong people?” Having a hard time prioritizing your life, being appropriately assertive, and setting boundaries? Life can often feel “too much” and you find yourself wanting to do and be better but when you stop to try and figure it out, it’s so overwhelming. So, you do nothing instead because it’s easier to just avoid. If you're a parent, that adds another extra layer of "too much," exhaustion, and stress.

My passion for advocacy and a client-centered approach were cultivated in my early years as an educator, but my intellectual curiosity regarding the process of personal change and the value of interpersonal relationships motivated me to returned to NKU for a Master’s degree in Social Work. Since graduating with an MSW, I have enjoyed working with a wide variety of clients in diverse settings including a hospital, court-mandated program, and most recently an outpatient office and school-based office. I provide individual therapy to children, adolescents and adults, as well as families and couples.

I work specifically with couples who have discovered infidelity. Couples are traumatized when infidelity is discovered and the clinician needs to help the couple implement immediate steps to prevent further damage to the relationship. Counselor strategies for infidelity are much different than what a traditional counselor would utilize. When couples set up an appointment with me, they will get in quickly, and experience a specific treatment approach for infidelity. I also help couples with creating intimate communication, conflict skills, creating emotional and sexual intimacy, and increasing love and affection.
