More about Nathaniel

- LCSW, LCSW-C
As a licensed therapist, I bring over a decade of experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice is deeply committed to creating an affirming, inclusive space for diverse experiences and identities. I specialize in addressing mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth.
My therapeutic approach is holistic and person-centered, focusing on helping clients navigate issues like self-love, communication challenges, social anxiety, trauma recovery, and personal transformation. I have extensive expertise in supporting individuals through life transitions, workplace stress, relationship complexities, and emotional healing.
I am particularly passionate about working with LGBTQ+ individuals, young adults, and those experiencing intersectional challenges. My goal is to provide compassionate, non-judgmental support that empowers clients to develop deeper self-understanding, resilience, and meaningful life strategies.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Overall rating:
Amazing and very understanding. I feel heard and helped.
I have been going through a really tough time with my wife and Nathen has really helped me cope with some the issues I've been having and has guided me to be able to make the hard decisions that I have had to make. I would highly recommend him
I was never a strong believer in therapy. When I started this journey to grow as a person, Nathan made me a believer in therapy. Not only does he listen to you, but the fact that he can give you feedback about what you're speaking of and even provides you with information to on topics to look at on your is much needed. This guy really knows his stuff and would recommend him as a therapist to anyone in need.
It’s been a very positive experience
Nathaniel is a bright light. He is encouraging and provides support and resources that help me navigate through the challenges I bring to him. He is easy to connect with.
I’m very grateful for Nathan he is amazing and has helped me so much! If it wasn’t for him idk where I would be in my life right now!
Very responsive and listens very well
Nathan has been incredibly insightful into the issues and outcomes I am trying to achieve for myself and for my marriage while in therapy. He really takes the time to listen and asks great thought provoking questions that make me want to do the work and get through whatever I am facing. I have had other therapists and Nathan has been the best by far, I feel like he really understands me.
