I am a dedicated, curious and compassionate individual who was drawn to the profession of social work to help serve and make a difference in my community. With 10 years of experience in helping individuals navigate the daily stressors and challenges of life, I am forever grateful for the opportunity and privilege to help others. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Columbia University and obtained my clinical license in both New Jersey and New York state. 

My previous experience includes working at both the clinical and administrative level. My employment has crossed the non-profit sector, medical, in-home services, addictions treatment, forensics, as well as outpatient psychiatry. With additional certification, I am fortunate to supervise social workers in their journey of becoming independent practitioners. 

I have had the pleasure of working with a variety of beautiful humans from different walks of life with a range of mental health conditions. My approach includes a mix of evidenced based modalities to meet clients where they are at, collaborate together, empower them to learn more about themselves, develop healthier coping strategies, and build connections with more purpose in their daily lives.

I look forward to working together and thank you so much for letting me be a part of it.

Whether dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or managing the transition of major life changes, the road toward personal growth looks different for everyone. I aim to create a warm environment that is safe for self-exploration, curiosity, and healing, to help clients gain insight and harness their own strengths to improve the quality of their lives. My style is empathetic, non-judgmental, and interactive, and I am a culturally inclusive, anti-oppressive, sex-positive, and LGBTQ+-affirming therapist. My approach to therapy is customized to the unique needs of each client, based in psychodynamic, relational, trauma-informed training. I received my MSW from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and my BA from New York University.

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.

With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I bring a wealth of understanding and compassion to my role as a licensed social worker. I've had the privilege of working with clients of all ages and genders. My approach is deeply rooted in person-centered, humanistic, and holistic philosophies, enabling me to meet each individual's unique needs and circumstances. I firmly believe that mental health is integral to everyone's wellbeing, and I'm committed to providing comprehensive support to guide each client on their journey towards improved mental health. It's my honor to walk with you in this transformative process and facilitate your personal growth. 

I enjoy working with adults, teens, families, and groups. I approach clients from a psychodynamic perspective influenced by existential psychotherapy and family systems. I have a foundational training in DBT and, depending on the client’s needs, will teach concrete skills to strengthen emotion regulation, decrease anxious and depressive symptoms, increase resilience and distress tolerance, improve communication, and strengthen boundaries in relationships.

My style is collaborative and dynamic; I enjoy working together to understand what clients want from therapy, and how best to achieve their goals. I listen to/ observe carefully what is communicated during session, and I ask a lot of questions to encourage exploration and self-reflection. I balance concepts of self- acceptance and change, and aim to instill the belief that real change is possible and within the client's power.

I admire the courage it takes to come to therapy and consider it an honor to work with clients in their most vulnerable areas. I create a warm, collaborative, responsive, and safe environment in which clients can express whatever they want without fear of judgement.

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 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.
