Glad you took the time to seek support. I am Natalie St. Martin a licensed therapist specializing in working with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. She supports clients who often feel overwhelmed or stuck beneath the surface, helping them gain clarity, build emotional resilience, and break unhelpful patterns. Her approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based practices, and she focuses on creating a space where clients feel understood, supported, and appropriately challenged. Through her work, clients often experience meaningful shifts in self-awareness, confidence, and their ability to move through life with greater stability and intention.

First session

In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and collaborative space where we focus on understanding what brought them to therapy and what they hope to change or improve. I will ask questions about current concerns, relevant history, and goals, while also allowing space for clients to share at their own pace. We will begin identifying patterns, strengths, and immediate needs, and I will provide an overview of how we might work together moving forward. My goal for the first session is to help clients feel heard, supported, and clearer about the direction of treatment.

Strengths

What sets my work apart is my ability to combine clinical skill with a grounded, relatable presence that helps clients feel both safe and gently challenged. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, I meet clients where they are and adapt evidence-based methods to fit their unique experiences, goals, and readiness for change. I am intentional about helping clients move beyond insight alone and into real-life application, so therapy feels practical, focused, and impactful. Clients often describe feeling deeply understood while also gaining the structure and accountability needed to create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

Ideal clients

My ideal clients are adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, relationship challenges, and issues related to self-esteem or identity. I am best positioned to serve individuals who are motivated for change but may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to move forward. I work especially well with clients who are open to building insight while also focusing on practical, goal-oriented steps toward improvement. My approach supports people who want to better understand their patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthier coping strategies that create lasting change in their daily lives.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques in my practice to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop healthier coping skills, and improve emotional regulation. Through my experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns, I have effectively incorporated CBT interventions to support lasting behavioral and mindset changes.

Cognitive Processing (CPT)

I utilize Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) in my practice to support clients in processing trauma, challenging unhelpful beliefs related to traumatic experiences, and developing healthier thought patterns. Through my experience working with individuals experiencing PTSD, anxiety, and life stressors, I have used CPT interventions to help clients build insight, emotional resilience, and long-term healing.

Solution-Focused Brief Treatment

I utilize Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) in my practice to help clients identify strengths, build on existing resources, and create practical goals toward meaningful change. Through my experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, and personal growth, I use SFBT techniques to foster empowerment, resilience, and solution-oriented thinking.

Motivational Interviewing

I utilize Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques in my practice to help clients explore ambivalence, strengthen motivation for change, and build confidence in achieving their personal goals. Through my experience working with individuals navigating behavioral changes, substance use concerns, anxiety, and life transitions, I use MI strategies to support client-centered growth and lasting change.

Honestly when looking for a therapist I wanted someone who I felt like they could relate and understand me. I wanted it to feel like I was speaking with a friend and that’s exactly how it feels. Sometimes I wanna be like girl let me tell you what happened but I try to remain as professional as possible. She understands and sees me. She has made me realize that I need to prioritize myself and not give so much time and energy away. She is amazing. I completely recommend.

She patiently listens as I unravel all the lore behind my toxic family. There are so many side quests I have to take to paint a picture of my enmeshment trauma, but Natalie follows along and gently offers insight and solutions along the way. She encourages me to come as I am...hair rollers and all. If you are looking for an empathetic listener who offers real solutions, this is the therapist for you.

I needed help unpacking some recent revelations about trauma. I liked Natalie's experience with mothers and trauma. She asked the right questions and listened closely to make sure she understood my needs. She's also very knowledgeable and helped me understand a lot of dynamics in a short amount of time. She is solution-oriented, as well. Great first session. Excited to work with her to continue healing.
