About
My goal, as your therapist, is to help you look within to find your strengths that will help you to overcome adversity and discover the person you were meant to be.
Natalie Lenard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 10 years of experience in counseling and mental health. Working with clients across all age ranges, she has assisted clients with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, academic struggles, dissociative disorders, family and relational problems, and stage of life hardships.
Natalie graduated with a Master's degree in Counselor Education from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX. Her degree included a focus on both School and Community Mental Health Counseling. Natalie's later experiences working in domestic violence, substance abuse, criminal justice, parental alienation, and high-conflict divorce have taught her that long-term healing is the result of working to heal the root causes of our struggles. Natalie’s treatment approach incorporates trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy (TI-CBT), relational methods, and attachment theories, among many others.
Natalie understands the importance of personal growth to promote long-term healing. Her goal is to help you look deep within, find the person you are meant to be and use those strengths to be able to overcome difficulties yourself. Together, you will work to find the YOU that is the author of your story. Natalie looks forward to helping you achieve your goals.
