Hi, I'm Natasha Ramnauth. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Florida. I am also a Qualified Supervisor for both licenses. My past work experience over the past 15 years includes inpatient mental health programs, community agencies, school-based prevention programs and at a local university as a counselor, supervisor, and adjunct Faculty member. My passion lies in helping others to identify their strengths and building the skills to lead a healthy and happy life. My approach to counseling utilizes Psychoanalytic Therapy to access the root of the concern as well Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy and integrating interventions from multicultural counseling, interpersonal process, existentialism, and client-centered orientations.
During your first session, I want to get to know more about you and what's bringing you into counseling. I also assess your trauma history to understand your lived experiences. When working with couples, I want to learn more about what brought you together in addition to the issues you are dealing with in your relationship.
I work well with clients from diverse racial, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds and those who use natural, esoteric, and holistic health approaches. It's important that clients feel safe in counseling and foster this by being authentic during my sessions. I also support and challenge my clients to grow in their understanding of themselves and others.
Feeling depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed? Frustrated with your loved ones? If you are ready to make changes, I'm here to help. I look at the anxiety and depression symptoms but also the underlying issues that cause these concerns. I focus on identifying strengths and building healthy coping skills to manage trauma triggers and life stressors. Whether working with individuals, couples, or families, I teach skills for clearer communication and focus on creating meaningful interactions with others. I use an integrative approach to therapy that draws on many different techniques and explores the underlying beliefs that keep you stuck. I work with various issues including self-esteem, equity issues, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, guilt and shame, stress, relationships, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, trauma & life transitions. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma and Gottman level 1 and Gottman’s 7 principles for couples and families.

Most of the clients I have worked with have experienced trauma, but are not even aware of it. They often see the manifestation of their trauma through anxiety, depression or general unhappiness. I take the time to explore where these issues began to address the client's concerns. I then focus on building coping skills to help manage the distress while bringing awareness to the underlying causes.
