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.

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is TEAM cognitive behavioral therapy (TEAM-CBT). TEAM-CBT is a framework for conducting measurement-based therapy that is proven to be more effective than traditional therapy. TEAM is an acronym for the four crucial ingredients of effective therapy known to improve treatment outcomes: testing, empathy, agenda-setting, and methods.
TEAM cognitive behavioral therapy (TEAM-CBT) has over 100 different tools for improving mood, changing thoughts, and shifting behaviors. Several of the tools are:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when I see their scores improve on their mood surveys. A key feature of TEAM-CBT is that it uses measurement. There is a pre-session and post-session survey every time we meet. If there is an improvement, we will have the data to back it up.
Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy with psychotherapy homework. Another key aspect of TEAM CBT is psychotherapy homework. If you don't practice what you learn in therapy, it is unlike the change will stick! It is vital for clients to engage in psychotherapy homework, such as outside reading, facing their fears, practicing communication techniques, or writing down and challenging their negative thoughts.
To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can write down all the potential benefits you hope to see from therapy and all the potential risks or costs of not attending. If you know what you want to move toward and you know the cost of staying the same, then you may be more motivated to make some changes in your life!
Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.
Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.

The duration of your individual therapy sessions will vary. The decision on the number and frequency of sessions is typically collaboratively determined by the client and therapist.
