Natalia Cruz Navarro

Over my 12+ year career, I have had the opportunity to work with the perinatal population in many different settings, from outpatient clinics and home visits to inpatient hospital units. I have provided clinical support to mothers with high-risk pregnancies or a fetal anomaly diagnosis, and have offered care to individuals who have experienced a stillbirth, miscarriage, or infant loss. I also work with parents seeking healing from traumatic birthing experiences and those navigating mood disorders during pregnancy and postpartum.

I believe in providing compassionate care that is client-centered, inclusive, trauma-focused, and culturally sensitive. My approach is "integrative," meaning I draw from different theories—like Humanistic, Behavioral, and Psychodynamic—to best fit your needs. I am also trained in EMDR and utilize techniques from DBT, CBT, and Brainspotting to provide symptom relief and help you learn to cope and heal in a non-judgmental space.

In our first session, you can expect a safe and welcoming space where we can begin to build a therapeutic relationship. My priority is to listen, understand what brought you to therapy, and ensure you feel heard and respected. We will work together to identify your needs and goals, and you can get a feel for my style to make sure it resonates with you.
