Therapists near me in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Hello! My name is Natalie Lewis, a licensed mental health counselor with a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I currently work with children, individuals, families, and couples for over 15 years, both online and in my private practice. Relationships can be challenging when you consider different personalities and expectations. My goal through therapeutic interventions is to assist my clients with managing anxiety, depression, stress, feeling overwhelmed, and feeling misunderstood.

Therapy for Women Ready to Find Their Voice Again I work with women 35+ who have spent years being the understanding one, peacekeeper, over-giver, or caretaker while quietly wondering, “When do I get to matter?” My work centers on childhood trauma, family-of-origin wounds, generational trauma, estrangement, emotional neglect, sexual abuse and molestation, anger, resentment, and painful relationship patterns, including covert narcissistic dynamics, manipulation, chronic invalidation, and relationships where you continually give while others take. My approach is more yin than yang. I’m not a traditional talk therapist who focuses on challenging your thoughts, debating your perspective, or assigning homework. My work is intuitive, experiential, relational, and trauma-informed, creating space to slow down, listen to your body, and reconnect with your inner knowing. I especially welcome deeply spiritual, intuitive, energetically sensitive women who want their spirituality honored in therapy. You don’t have to silence yourself anymore.

I am a mental health professional with over twenty-seven years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in various settings. In my current position as a Mental Health Counselor, I provide viable counseling and necessary services to my clients. My counseling techniques are advanced, well-defined and effective at meeting the needs of my clients. Moreover, my counseling skills have proven to be viable, and as a result, clients have demonstrated great progress. I am also organized with an attention to detail. My interpersonal skills enable me to establish and maintain a good rapport with my clients. I enjoy helping them to reach goals and learn new behaviors. I am an approachable, compassionate and a competent counselor. Demonstrating adeptness in my area of expertise, I also help high performers manage anxiety and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness, and art to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I can assist you with my highly competent skills. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but you are making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I will meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the issues and habits holding you back. Let's work together!

I help clients explore what their reactions and interactions reveal about their needs, offering tools to build insight and strengthen connection. While I encourage clients to lean into discomfort as part of the process, I also ensure they feel guided and empowered to face challenges. Whether it’s improving communication, addressing conflict, or building trust, I guide clients to stop cycling through the same issues and start building the relationships they want. If you’re ready to move beyond feeling stuck, I’ll partner with you to create lasting change through honest, meaningful work.

At Mind & Heart Connect, the goal isn’t to create a perfect version of you. It’s to help you understand yourself, heal what needs healing, set boundaries without guilt, communicate more effectively, and feel more confident in the life you’re creating.
