Hi, I’m Natalie, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I work with young adults and adults, as well as couples and families, who may be navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, family conflict, life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life. If any of this resonates with where you are right now, I would love to connect and explore how we might work together.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience helping clients navigate mental and emotional challenges. I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work from Florida State University. My passion is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can gain insight into their lives and work toward personal growth and healing.
With over 30 years in the mental health field, I bring a deep understanding of the therapeutic process and a strong commitment to helping people thrive. I have served as a therapist, clinical supervisor, clinical director, and adjunct professor in settings such as group homes, outpatient clinics, mental health centers, schools, and now private practice. I especially enjoy working with clients who are open to growth, even when it feels challenging.
Do you often feel that you are not good enough or that other people don't value and respect you? Are you overwhelmed by daily tasks? Do you experience sadness, loneliness, guilty and/or fear? Have you turned to self-defeating means (addictions, isolating, abusive relationships, etc) to cope with these feelings? If so, you are not alone. There is a good chance that the sense of "something missing" you feel comes from some part of you that has been lost, forgotten, or maybe never developed.
Hello! I’m Carmen, I’ve been a therapist for over the past ten years. I have a masters degree in Social Work with a concentration in trauma and mental health. I also hold my license in clinical social work.
I am a proud graduate of Albizu University, located in Miami, FL. My clinical training includes working with victims of trauma, military and first responders. I provide therapy, crisis intervention, and critical incident debriefing.
Additionally, I provide psycho-educational and full psychological evaluations from age 4-90.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you're carrying anxiety, depression, mood changes, or emotions that seem difficult to manage on your own. I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel heard without judgment and supported through life's challenges. Whether you're navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, anger management concerns, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, identity questions, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you better understand yourself while building the tools you need to move forward. I work with both adolescents and adults, recognizing that every stage of life brings unique experiences and obstacles. Together, we'll create a supportive, collaborative environment where you can explore what's weighing on you, discover your strengths, and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
I am a licensed clinician offering individual counseling services in-person or via telehealth for adults, adolescents, and children. I earned my master's degree in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida. I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC). My experience includes working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds across a variety of settings, including integrated behavioral health and primary care.
I am a bilingual therapist who offers a supportive space for individuals from diverse backgrounds. I specializes in helping clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness, I work with both children and adults to find healing and create positive change in their lives.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that hope and healing are possible for everyone. My counseling approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful change can occur when individuals, couples, and families partner with a compassionate, skilled therapist who provides effective support and practical mental health resources. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where clients can gain insight, build resilience, and work toward their goals. I look forward to the opportunity to meet and work with you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Fort Lauderdale
Finding postpartum therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health, postpartum depression counseling, or postpartum anxiety. A Perinatal Mental Health Certification, often listed as PMH-C, can also signal specialized training in pregnancy and postpartum care.
Fort Lauderdale has a range of therapy options, and practical fit matters alongside clinical experience. New parents may need appointment times that work around infant care, physical recovery, feeding schedules, or shifting routines. Virtual therapy can make it easier to meet with a postpartum depression therapist or therapist for postpartum anxiety from home, while in-person care may work better for people who prefer a local office setting. Read therapist bios to compare specialties, approach, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before booking.
Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care starts. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check your insurance, and see estimated costs upfront. You can browse therapists, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
