Self-Harming Therapists in Fort Worth, TX

Our mission is to help individuals, families, and groups explore the issues keeping them from a satisfying and fulfilling life. FWCAI's clinically trained therapists offer a variety of therapeutic approaches, seeking the best solution for each client. We offer an integrated approach to counseling, using a biblical worldview and our skills and experience to offer counseling from a Christian perspective, although we also use traditional and cutting edge therapeutic approaches and integrate them into our practice where helpful. Not every client shares our worldview, and this integrated approach allows us to serve clients not seeking distinctly Christian counseling.

As individuals, we experience influences, temptations, trials and tribulations in different times in our lives, which can leave you feeling hopeless, helpless, out of control or like you have failed. I understand how life and environments can become a routine, a pattern, and sometimes an unhealthy cycle. I am here to help you identify and make steps toward being the kind of person or family you want to be.

I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, maladaptive behaviors such as self-harming and suicidal ideation, low self-esteem, behavioral issues, life transitions, all by implementing healthy coping skills, insight and creating a safe space for an individual to address their struggles.

Counseling services available in English and Spanish. Finding it challenging to see the positive things in your life? Stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma can make us feel hopeless that it prevents us from experiencing life in an optimistic way. Sometimes those difficult feelings or negative experiences can make us feel like we are just surviving the day instead of enjoying life. I am here to help you find your purpose again and start living! All it takes is you taking the first steps in wanting something different for yourself to get different results. Change can be hard, but simply surviving the day is harder.

Sometimes life's challenges can leave you feeling defeated. The trauma you've experienced, the troubles you encounter, or even the major life changes that you go through can have you in a dark place. Regardless of what you have been through, there is always light at the end of the darkest tunnels. Sometimes, we may just need a little help getting out of that tunnel or seeing the light. My goal is to collaborate with you to help you get through whatever challenges you are struggling with overcoming and help you see that light in your life. I truly believe that there is no challenge that you can not overcome.

As such, I cultivate a safe and validating space in which you can heal, change, unwind, vent, self-care, or whatever else you may need.

My primary experience has been working with adolescents and teens. However, I find many of those same principles can successfully be applied in our adulthood. In connecting with clients, I support your self-esteem and self-discovery through a Christian perspective. Life can be a challenge at times and there is no judgement or shame seeking out therapy. Congratulations on taking the first step and acknowledging the importance of your mental health!

Hi! My name is Natalie. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. I have been providing counseling to small children all the way up to geriatric individuals for a little over 6 years now. I am only providing telehealth therapy at this time, and I do not offer couples' counseling. My view of therapy is that each individual knows what's best for their own life; they just need someone to guide them to whatever that solution or truth is. That's where I come in! I am an expert in mental health, but you are the expert in YOU.

I am a counselor because I believe you are worth experiencing healing despite your past or current challenges and traumas.

It is a privilege to learn about the experiences that have shaped you and to walk alongside you as you step into freedom. I believe in the importance of addressing the mind, body, and soul collectively so that you can achieve health in all facets of life.

It's my passion to help people find wholeness and balance.
