Natalie Dunn
Hi! I'm Natalie, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master of arts in counseling. I received my master's from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2012. I reside in the DFW area of Texas. I have experience with working with individuals, across the entire lifespan. I have experience with general mental illness to severe mental illness, to Intellectual and developmental disabilities. A host of my clients, have been individuals that deal with depression, anxiety, parenting skills, anger management and behavior modification concerns.
I have experience with general mental illness to severe mental illness, to Intellectual and developmental disabilities.
As a therapist, I believe in empathy. Unconditional positive regard, is high on my list of priorities, when interacting with clients of mine. I believe that we are all, more alike than different. I seek to rid stigmas and to do away with labels. We are greater, together! Easy dialogue, cognitive behavior therapy and talk therapy are typically my approaches. I seek to make therapy/counseling, easy peasy! It is rarely easy to admit the we need help. The fact that you are even looking, is a huge step. Let's work through your issues, together, in an effort to restore normality, for you! I look forward to meeting you!
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with introductions. This is when I get a wee bit nosey. ;) You'll also be able to ask me any questions and or address any concerns that you might have. We'll then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in subsequent sessions.
Strengths
One of my biggest strengths is, unconditionally accepting each client for who they are, exactly, where they are, in their journey of healing. I am open-minded and fundamentally believe that we are all more alike, than different. With me, therapy feels more like a talk session with someone familiar. I actively seek to create a therapeutic space that remove the ultra formal, "couch," approach to therapy.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with individuals that are seeking change and or guidance on the curve balls that life can sometimes throw. Clients that are seeking talk therapy, psychotherapy and or a different perspective on things are a good fit. All in all, as long as you're open to listening and getting an alternative take on things, we can make progress. I enjoy learning from my clients and analyzing instances from their vernacular, as well.
