Natalie Schmitz, L.C.S.W
Psychotherapist~ Adolescents, Adults, and Families
My Approach to Therapy
I enjoy working with adolescents (13 and up) and adults of all ages. My client centered approach enables me to quickly get to the heart of what is troubling you. I am a survivor of trauma and depression, so I have a unique ability to relate to and assist others in overcoming these challenges. Together, we can explore your concerns, your goals, your strengths, and the obstacles that are keeping you stuck or holding you back. In most cases, long-term therapy is not necessary. My goal is to help you heal and grow to the point that you no longer need therapy as quickly as possible. My work is strength-based and solution-focused. I conceptualize each individual holistically as mind, body, spirit, and community. It is a sacred honor and privilege for me to work with anyone who is interested in growth, recovery, or relief.
