Hello, My name is Natalie Lewis and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida. My educational background is in psychology, marriage and family therapy, and industrial organizational psychology. I specialize in providing counseling to individuals, groups, children, teenagers, young adults, couples, and married couples. I work on issues of anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD and family discord etc.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect to learn about skills and strategies that they can implement in their daily lives. These skills can assist them to better cope with things that they are struggling with. Clients can gain a sense of better understanding their individual situations, what the causes and effects of their choices have had on their lives, how others have impacted them, and how to gain control of the direction that they want their lives to go towards.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I subscribe to solution focused therapy as well as cognitive behavior therapy. I also implement other strategies as needed depending on the clients' needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strengths are my ability to listen. Also, to not impose my own beliefs and ways of doing things on others. I follow the client's lead towards the issues and problems that they want to focus on and work through. I acknowledge the clients' strengths and abilities and that they will be able to work through and make healthy decisions to benefit them in the long run.
