Natalia (she/her/ella) is a Licensed Master Social Worker based in New York. She obtained her Master of Social Work from SUNY Stony Brook with a focus in Integrative Health and her Bachelor of Arts in Social and Cultural Analysis with a minor in Child & Adolescent Mental Health Studies from New York University. Natalia has supported youth and adults who have a history of Anxiety, Depression, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Bipolar Disorder, other related mood disorders and experienced trauma related to systems involvement (i.e legal systems, incarceration and child welfare). She has also supported clients to navigate anger as a response to trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, family dynamics, intergenerational trauma, intimate partner violence and domestic violence. Natalia strives to promote mental health treatment that feels empowering, comprehensive and accessible. She recognizes the interconnectedness of identity and social issues and how they may impact a person’s wellbeing. Using an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed approach, she uplifts a person’s strengths while exploring the influence power and control have in our lives both institutionally and interpersonally. Natalia believes a therapeutic space is co-created between the person supported and the therapist. Your self-determination guides our relationship in establishing an environment that feels physically and emotionally safe for you.
