I'm glad you are here. I love doing therapy. My mission is to help people heal through compassion, curiosity, and connection. I work with individual adult clients (ages 18+) with a wide range of presenting concerns, including mood and anxiety disorders, grief, trauma, gender identity, and eating and body image. I love helping my clients access their unique strengths and resources and move towards what matters most to them.
I draw heavily on strategies and principles from self compassion, mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Areas of expertise include anxiety and mood disorders, life transitions, perfectionism, emerging adulthood, and addictive behaviors.
The change process is scary, but you do not have to do it alone! Whether you are seeking health, connection, clarity, acceptance, meaning, or something else, I would be honored to join you on your journey.
Take the first step to help. Natalie Kretsch now
