Professional statement
Nathaniel has extensive experience working with young adults and adolescents on challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, life changes, stress, self-esteem, and grief. By combining evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, Nathaniel creates a safe, grounding environment to challenge clients’ thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so they can move through loss, improve self esteem, and build a life that excites them.
Nathaniel co-creates a space of empathy, safety, and trust that allows clients to feel seen and empowered to make progress. He is reliable and consistent in how he interacts with clients, often bringing a sense of humor into the space, which strengthens the feeling of trust in the relationship. In their work with Nathaniel, clients may explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to gain a clearer understanding of their past and present.
