Nathalie Hand
Hi. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor from Pennsylvania. I love getting to know people and I love seeing people make connections and resolve some things from their past. I have over 20 years experience providing trauma-informed support in a variety of settings.
Through all these experiences, I have been witness to so much strength and determination in clients as they strive to be the best version of themselves.
I have worked with people with a variety of concerns, including people dealing with depression concerns, anxiety concerns, substance use and misuse and healing from the impact of trauma. I received my masters in counseling psychology from Teachers College at Columbia University.
First session
In our first session, we will get to know each other and make sure that we are a good fit for each other. We will discuss what your goals are so that I can create a unique plan for you to follow in future sessions. We will work at your pace and comfort. I always hope to create a safe space for you to feel comfortable sharing what you need to share. I will begin this on our first day working with you.
Strengths
I have worked in a variety of settings, from shelters, outpatient settings and intensive outpatient settings. Through all these experiences, I have been witness to so much strength and determination in clients as they strive to be the best version of themselves. I have helped a lot of people in their process of healing. I bring all these experiences to help you along in your process. I combine these experiences from people of diverse backgrounds and the theoretical basis that I gained from my training. I believe that celebrating every step of the process of healing and growth. Everyone should have the opportunity to not just survive but to thrive in their lives.
Ideal clients
I love working with people who are motivated to begin their process of healing and their process of change. I know that change is hard. My clients are ready to do the hard work in their process of healing and change. If they are not ready, then I can support them to get ready to start their journey. I am there to provide support, encouragement and empowerment as they embark on this journey.
Treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Every person is unique and ultimately is the expert in what would work for them. I see therapy as a path to find the path to get back to what works best for you.
Eclectic
I have been trained in several modalities, such as CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing. I don't believe in cookie cutter therapy. We will work together to find what works best for you.
