Natalie Raab

Welcome! I'm Natalie, and I treat adults with a wide range of mental and emotional concerns. I'm particularly passionate about working with people struggling with infertility, grief, and accident-related & religious trauma. As a therapist, I see myself as having two boxes of tools at my disposal. The first box includes structured, often short-term treatments to address specific sets of symptoms. The second box holds more open-ended, exploratory methods that help get at the deeper questions we face as humans.

As I come to learn what connects with you, you might find I use a lot of analogies, quotes, and references. Clients often describe me as very easy to talk to.

I strive to provide therapy that works, which includes using practical, evidence-based treatments like EMDR, PGDT, and CBT-I to help with symptom relief, as well as taking an intuitive approach drawing from ACT, existential therapy, narrative therapy, and solutions-focused therapy. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about these different modalities. As a licensed mental health counselor, I bring expertise related to therapy, and I recognize you as the expert on your own life. Also, because I have lived experience in many of the areas I treat, the level of understanding that I can provide for certain stressors goes beyond standard therapeutic empathy.

In our first session, I'll ask lots of questions to get to know you, your life, and your history. I'll ask you to tell me about your symptoms and goals. Having worked through my own challenges, I know how important it is to be seen clearly and respected unconditionally. We'll also discuss which treatment approaches might best meet your needs. My goal is to ensure that, by the end of the first session, your questions are answered and that you feel comfortable and hopeful moving forward.
