I hold my MSW degree from the University of Southern California and have dedicated the past several years to working with individuals navigating a variety of issues including grief, substance abuse, and parenting challenges. My approach is rooted in a client-centered philosophy, fostering a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences. I integrate a trauma-informed and relational lens, often drawing from various modalities to help clients break cycles and gain insight. Ultimately, I am passionate about supporting each person on their journey toward greater self-awareness and healing.

As a Nigerian immigrant and Mental Health Counselor, I believe healing happens in community. I provide a warm, collaborative space where clients feel supported as they navigate life's challenges.

My approach is person-centered and culturally responsive, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychodynamic principles, and Motivational Interviewing. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, trauma, relationship concerns, and identity-related challenges.

I have a special interest in supporting Black individuals across the diaspora, immigrants, and multicultural communities navigating cultural identity, family dynamics, and religious trauma.

I'm a Licensed Master Social Worker. I've worked with the vulnerable and underserved population for over 14 years; clients who have suffered from severe and persistent mental illnesses. Therapy can sometimes take us to uncomfortable places, but I've learned that wonderfulthings can happen outside of our comfort zone. I believe in the idea of mindfulness and handling ourselves/others with grace. I work collaboratively with my clients, by utilizing their strengths to help stimulate change and progress. I have a client-centered approach; which seeks to empower and guide the development of self-awareness and insight. Seeking help can often retraumatize an individual. Therefore, offering a supportive environment for clients to develop healthy behaviors, and coping skills is an important part of the therapeutic process. One's trauma and experiences are not often unique, but the individual is unique and must be treated as such. I have utilized a variety of methods; including CBT, MI, DBT, psychodynamic theory, and strength-based perspective to assist my clients with their daily life struggles. It's vital that as a therapist I'm present in the moment, and that I can listen empathetically. Mental Health does not need to be a stigma.Therapy requires hard work; so I thank my clients who consistently show up for themselves.

As an Indian American clinician from a large immigrant family, I understand the complexity of navigating multiple identities and the unique mental health challenges faced by individuals with diverse backgrounds, both culturally and beyond. I also recognize the stigma around seeking support in our communities and the strength it takes to reach out.

In my work, I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and attachment-related challenges. Whether you're exploring relationship dynamics, wrestling with guilt, moving through life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, I offer a space where you can feel safe, seen, and respected. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s individual needs, drawing from modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy, and more.

Therapy is a space where you can come as you are. I strive to create a warm, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment where healing and growth are possible. Cultivating joy in troubling times may seem tough, but is not impossible. If any of this resonates with you, I’d be honored to support you on your path.

My name is Natalia and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) trauma therapist in New York. I specialize in working with survivors of domestic or intimate partner violence and individuals navigating recovery from substance use disorder/addiction. My personal connections to the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community have fueled my ability and ambition to create an encouraging and empathetic healing space for my clients. During my course of study, I’ve expanded my clinical skills and completed training programs in multiple modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).

To quote one of my favorite authors:

“If you are uncomfortable—in deep pain, angry, yearning, confused —you don’t have a problem, you have a life. Being human is not hard because you’re doing it wrong, it’s hard because you’re doing it right. You will never change the fact that being human is hard, so you must change your idea that it was ever supposed to be easy.” – Glennon Doyle

I work to create a safe therapeutic environment to support you in honoring your past, living in the present, and imagining a more empowered future. I'm motivated to work with you on any current or long standingchallenge you’re experiencing at a pace you're comfortable with. Life was never supposed to be easy, and I applaud you in taking this next step. I look forward to being on your team and a source of support for you through your journey.

I received a Masters in Social Work from the Wurzweiler School of Social Work with an additional certification in trauma informed practice. I believe that relational trauma can be healed within the context of a therapeutic relationship. I have a background in Client-Centered Therapy which approaches an individual as being unique in their strengths and potential. I also take a psychoanalytic approach to help clients who are suffering from anxiety, depression, PTSD, and suicidality. I am passionate about treating individuals from varying communities and helping clients be the “cycle breakers'' of intergenerational trauma. I understand the long lasting impact of early adverse childhood experiences, and aim to help individuals find their own unique path toward healing.

I was born and raised in New York to first generation immigrant parents. I was able to see firsthand how the topic of mental illness has always been stigmatized within these vulnerable communities. I have entered the field as a mental health counselor to shatter the barriers to mental health care and end the stigma within these communities. I believe that growing up in an immigrant family can help me understand you as a person, regardless of race, gender, or ethnicity. My multicultural competency and ability to see different perspectives enables me to meet people of all different backgrounds where they are.

I incorporate a collaborative and psychodynamic approach to psychotherapy, where we work together to understand your concerns and remove the barriers that are preventing you from flourishing. My integrative, therapeutic approach is through a social justice-oriented lens, which helps me provide you with culturally competent treatment. I will be open and nonjudgmental to your experiences and help you create and live a life you find fulfilling. My greatest strength is the ability to empathize and listen to you as the client. We will get to the root of the issue, no matter how challenging it may feel. I will guide you through the barriers in your present, as well as past events that are still holding you back. I believe that our work together can help you understand what has led you to your current circumstances, as well as what changes are possible. I will help monitor your progress toward your goals.

I have received my Bachelor’s in Public Health at SUNY Old Westbury, and also went on to receive my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at SUNY Old Westbury. My master’s training has provided me with extensive experience helping those with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma, domestic violence, adjustment and life transition issues, multicultural issues and other life situations.

My goal as a therapist is to prioritize your safety and well-being by fostering a supportive and comfortable environment in which you can freely express your thoughts and emotions. I aim to provide thoughtful guidance and practical resources that empower you to move toward a healthier and more fulfilled sense of self.

My therapeutic approach is eclectic and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I draw from psychodynamic therapy, multicultural frameworks, mindfulness practices, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to create a personalized and effective treatment experience.

Mental health is consistently changing. My philosophy is to not stigmatize mental illness, but to promote mental wellness. My approach focuses on creating a safe space where clients feel heard and understood. Mental health is important, and no one should feel discouraged to seek the help they need. Trauma or disarrangement in life affects people from all cultural backgrounds and it is important to find a person to guide you through these hardships without judgment to your choices. The goal is to continue the meaningful life that you want.

I have worked with HIV, domestic violence, homelessness and LGBTQIA+ communities and I have been grateful to experience each one of them at different points in my life. I look forward to meeting you and pursuing your counseling journey. This is your time for a change

We will work to carefully uncover the reasons behind any behaviors you wish to change, as well as how those behaviors may have served you throughout your life. Together, we will pay attention to your prior experiences, including family dynamics, while working on practical, realistic approaches to dealing with today.

I have found that people are more resilient than they think. I work to help you harness your strengths, find balance, and regain hope.

As a Civil War survivor from Liberia, I am keenly sensitive to human suffering and highly passionate with a sincere commitment to ameliorating problems in the lives of individuals so as to help them to maximize their full potential. My passion and devotion to working in the mental health field are driven by the axiom that one of the noblest things one can do with their life is to be of service to others. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in mental health hospitals, various social services agencies, community outreach, a mental health crisis hotline, and training the NYPD on mental health and suicide prevention.

I received my Master’s from New York University’s Counseling and Mental Health Wellness program and my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and International Studies from Indiana University -Bloomington.   I have clinical experience with helping people from all backgrounds. I hope to use my life as a beacon of light to help those that experienced and endured traumatic experiences by finding meaning in their lives, self-determination, purpose, independence, and autonomy. I have an integrative approach to therapy to fit an individual's unique needs and implement existential therapy to uplift individuals. I worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, relational issues, suicidal ideations, maladaptive behavioral patterns, and traumatic and emotionally painful life experiences. I also focus on utilizing trauma-informed modalities, somatic interventions, and mindfulness to help individuals process the past to safely and confidently live in the present.

I work with individuals and people in monogamous and non-monogamous relationships, with the aim of helping them understand themselves and live in a way that feels authentic. My approach is focused on getting to the core of what keeps you feeling stuck, often looking at how the past continues to influence the present. The work can be challenging at times; however, it creates space for clarity, growth, and meaningful change.

My practice is rooted in person-centered, psychodynamic, and narrative therapy. I aim to be direct and thoughtful, creating a space where you can confront difficult truths while feeling supported. In relationship therapy, I help partners reset expectations and roles, develop their unique communication style, and build trust, leading to reconnecting with intimacy.

I hold a MA in Mental Health Counseling from New York University. Having moved countries multiple times, I am familiar with the stress and challenges of adjusting to new people and places while also carrying the grief of leaving friends, family, and pets behind. These experiences also taught me that while people come from different backgrounds, we can still bond over similarities or by exploring our differences.

In addition to English, I can also hold sessions in Czech and Slovak.
