Professional statement

Natalie Fraize, LMHC, LPC, is a licensed mental health counselor with nearly a decade of experience helping high-performing adults move from stuckness to meaningful change. She specializes in working with individuals navigating burnout, chronic stress, health challenges, and major life transitions—people who often appear successful on the outside but are quietly asking themselves, Is this really it?

Her approach blends evidence-based therapies—including ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing—with deep empathy and real-world insight. Having faced significant personal adversity herself, Natalie brings a grounded, human understanding to the work of change. She believes that everyone deserves to live fully—and no one should have to do that work alone.

Clients describe her as warm, insightful, and refreshingly real. Sessions with her are both compassionate and action-oriented, focused on helping clients clarify their values, break through limiting patterns, and take empowered steps toward more aligned living.

Natalie offers both traditional therapy sessions in her Amherst, NY office and virtual therapy for clients in NY and PA, welcoming the involvement of any supportive individuals that clients wish to include in their treatment process. Her private practice is self-pay and designed for clients seeking a confidential, high-trust space for depth, clarity, and growth.


Message to clients

I see therapy as an active and collaborative process. You bring your expertise about your life, experiences, and values, while I bring my knowledge of therapeutic concepts, skills, and tools. Together, we’ll create a space for self-reflection, practicing non-judgmental present-moment awareness, and learning practical ways to navigate life’s challenges. This is your time to explore what’s happening in your inner and outer world and to experiment with changes that align with the life you want to live.

My hope for both of us in this process is that we become more intentional, aware, open, and engaged. I want to help you move towards a life that feels more aligned with your values and filled with vitality. Much like a surgeon uses a scalpel as a tool, I see the therapeutic relationship as our primary instrument. The “dance” we do in therapy will involve recognizing patterns that aren’t working for you and using skills and insights we uncover together to guide you toward what truly matters.

It’s not about perfection but about progress—toward a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. I’m honored to be part of this journey with you.
