About
Having experienced profound loss myself, I understand how isolating grief can be, and I'm here to offer you the compassion, connection, and hope that helped me in my own mental health journey.
My name is Natalie and I graduated with my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lock Haven University in 2025, with a certificate in telehealth counseling. I have experience working with clients from ages five to 85, supporting them through grief, loss, life transitions, and mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression. I also have experience with cancer support, helping clients and caregivers navigate a diagnosis, manage the caregiving journey, and cope with loss. I guide clients in building resilience, finding balance, and fostering hope.
My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and tailored to each individual's needs. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and strengths-based interventions. I also incorporate art therapy to help clients express emotions and process difficult experiences.
My passion for grief counseling is rooted in my own experiences with loss, deepening my understanding of its impact. Seeking support is a courageous step, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you. You do not have to face this alone—your healing journey can begin today.

My go-to approach for helping kids in child therapy is to make learning fun and interactive! In child therapy find the best benefit in creating a strong connection with both child and parent because parents have their child 95% of the week, whereas I get 1 hour. Parents are a needed and effective partner in therapy! My go-to approach for helping people in teen counseling is building a strong relationship of trust and genuine connection where teens feel safe to share openly. In teen counseling, find the best benefit in mixing fun activities with talk therapy because teens still enjoy fun activities and tend to open up more when you start with an enjoyable opener that takes the pressure off of just talking.
I teach the following tools in child therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in child therapy when the child and parents both report their household feels calmer and they feel more equipped to handle triggers and difficult moments. In teen counseling, I know a client is making meaningful progress when their parents, teacher, and themselves report things are going well outside of the therapy room.
Clients can supplement their time in child therapy with the practice of coping skills, having habitual and expected one-on-one time between parents and child to talk and check-in, and ensuring they are noting items throughout the week that would be important for both parent and child to address in their next session. Similarly, clients can supplement their time in teen counseling by talking openly with parents during habitual one-on-one time with their parent, journaling, and practicing applying skills learned in sessions outside the therapy room.
Thriveworks child & teen counseling in Bethlehem helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst kids include behavioral issues, trauma, bullying, depression, and anxiety. All ages of children and adolescents can attend and benefit from therapy.
Child & teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the child or teen’s needs based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges.

In any case, child & teen counselors have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Child & teen counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of child & teen counseling at Thriveworks in Bethlehem, PA depends on your child’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, child & teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
