Dr. Natalie Van Dusen

I'm a licensed psychologist with 19 years of experience providing counseling and guidance for people like you. I'm passionate about helping people know their true identity and worth. I love to help people gain hope and move forward from the painful situations or relationships that have led to them feeling "stuck" and believing lies about themselves.

I have a doctoral degree (PsyD) from Rosemead School of Psychology (2010). In addition to generalized training, I have training in grief, women's issues, adoption and infertility, divorce, and abuse recovery. I have done intensive training in ADHD assessment and treatment across the lifespan, and intensive training in Gottman Method Couples counseling.

Clients find me to be warm and understanding, but also inspiring and challenging. I help clients understand themselves better, and feel empowered to grow. I use a variety of approaches to help clients expand their "toolbox" of coping skills, such as mindfulness-based stress reduction. I also always hope to help clients do "depth work," using my training in relational psychodynamic therapy.

When we begin working together, I first want you to know how valued you are, and how much your story matters. You and I then work together to set goals that help you to both function better, and heal deep wounds.
