Natalie Watson

My background includes a bachelors degree in Intercultural Studies and Pyschology. While going to school I was working with diverse communities and supporting youth navigating trauma and life challenges including gang violence and economic hardship. I also lived in Brazil working with survivors of sexual trauma and human trafficking which deeply shaped my passion for therapy. During my masters program, I supported youth and families navigating the foster care system and also continued my work working with survivors of sexual trauma, domestic violence, and human trafficking. I have specialized training in trauma informed therapy and EMDR which allows me to support clients in processing all different types of difficult experiences in ways that feel safe and manageable. I also have experience working with children, teens, young adults, couple's and families.

When I am not in the therapy room, I value time in nature, movement, and meaninful connection with the people in my life. I enjoy activities like kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking, and spending time outdoors! I also really value creativity which will lead me to reading books out in the sun, painting at home, or joining classes like ceramics or yoga.
