Professional statement

Natasha Watkins is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Washington DC, Virginia, and Maryland. She specializes in empowering adults to move forward in their lives by providing support that is both insightful and transformative. Natasha’s clients often come to therapy seeking help with depression, anxiety, trauma, or navigating significant life changes. Many are looking to manage relationship dynamics or find purpose outside established roles, such as in career shifts or family transitions. Natasha fosters an environment where clients feel both supported and encouraged to embrace the opportunities within these challenges, allowing them to develop resilience, self-compassion, and clarity about their goals.

Drawing on a blend of cognitive-behavioral, trauma-informed, and solution-focused techniques, Natasha’s approach is collaborative and client-centered, prioritizing each person’s unique story, strengths, and aspirations. She guides clients to identify patterns that may be holding them back and explore new ways to approach situations, relationships, and self-perception. Rather than focusing solely on past difficulties, Natasha emphasizes actionable steps that can lead to meaningful change in the present, building a foundation for future progress and satisfaction.

With a professional background that includes many years in management consulting and several years as a licensed clinical therapist, Natasha brings a wealth of experience in helping individuals achieve personal and professional growth. This unique combination of consulting expertise and therapeutic insight allows her to support clients effectively through a wide range of issues.

Natasha is currently available for remote sessions, offering flexibility for clients managing busy schedules or preferring the convenience of virtual access. Sessions are designed to be accessible and accommodating, creating a reliable space where clients can explore their goals and engage in consistent self-development.


Message to clients

Thank you in advance for your consideration! After working in management consulting for over 25 years, I decided to pursue my passion for purposefully helping others. Throughout my career, I was successful because I could develop meaningful connections with others so they succeed professionally. We all encounter challenges in life without caution. Handling the surge of emotions resulting from these unexpected experiences can negatively impact our behavior and interaction with others. My goal is to help you overcome those difficulties and re-imagine your life in the future. I am a psychotherapist who helps get to the root of your symptoms. Whether it’s anger, depression, anxiety, trauma, problems with self-esteem, or relationship difficulties, we will identify whatever hinders your growth into a better you. No matter where we begin, we work together, and your journey is based on the steps you choose to take.

I work as your partner to help you leverage your strengths to develop positive coping skills and healthy techniques to thrive in life. I am licensed in DC, MD, and VA. Contacting me will be your first step toward change and obtaining the guidance to find the solutions you desire. I look forward to creating a safe, therapeutic space for you to fulfill your purpose.
