Meet Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Natalie Small

“You have everything you need already within you and I am honored to come along side you and support you in your journey to self recovery.”

For Natalie, it’s about honoring you for taking this radical step in your journey and recognizing you don't have to do it alone. She uses the arts, embodiment, and the natural world around us and within us to explore old and new ways of building a deeper relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you.
