Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in New Jersey

Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my profile!

I’ve been working in the mental health field in New Jersey since 2007, when I began my career toward becoming a licensed professional counselor (LPC). I soon settled into the role of clinical therapist, being recognized as a National Certified Counselor (NCC) by the National Board of Certified Counselors, with a tendency to most frequently work with those coping with anxiety, depression, and relationship problems.

In 2020, I left the community clinic I had been working with to form a private practice. Here, I can meet with and focus on my clients, providing each with the attention they deserve. One of the primary purposes of coming to therapy is to be heard. I am here to listen.

Not just listen, though! We work together to come up with a solution to the problem or issue you are working through. As we discuss what has and hasn’t worked for you in the past, we learn to tell the difference between a healthy, productive way to cope and a less-than-desirable way to deal with your problem.

Therapy should be uniquely tailored to each person. I work with clients to identify patterns of behavior that may have contributed to difficulties in relationships—with family, friends, or at work or school—and help find ways to create positive change. We learn to change our perspective on life, our past, our entire reality, and recognize that we really can control how we think and what we think about.

I provide therapy for individuals navigating childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting and postpartum adjustment, and major life transitions. I specialize in working with individuals who were raised by emotionally immature parents. Many of my clients find themselves struggling with anxiety, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and a sense of disconnection from who they truly are. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, unsure how to break free or where to begin.

I also support women during pregnancy and the postpartum period as they navigate the emotional, physical, and identity shifts that come with this transition. Whether you’re becoming a parent, adjusting to new responsibilities, or rethinking your path in life or career, therapy can be a space to slow down and reconnect with yourself.

Hi, I’m Natalye—though you’re welcome to call me Nat, whichever feels more comfortable for you.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and bring over a decade of experience in the mental health field. My work has spanned a wide range of populations, diagnoses, and settings. I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, adolescents, and adults facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, behavioral issues, and eating disorders. My clinical experience includes in-home services, inpatient hospitalization, residential care, and outpatient treatment.

With an empathic approach and dynamic disposition, I’m deeply committed to building strong, trusting, and positive relationships with my clients and their support systems. I believe that healing happens in safe, supportive spaces—and I’m proud to walk alongside my clients in that journey.

My main goal when working with clients is to create a safe space to express themselves. I specialize in working with people who have PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression. I also use a DBT approach with many clients. I work primarily within the LGBTQ population and I am also trained in Gottman Couples Therapy.

I believe that healing begins when people feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a space where you don't have to have all the answers or pretend everything is okay you can simply show up as you are.

My path to becoming a therapist began at a young age. I earned my bachelor's degree in Education before completing my Master of Social Work at Baylor University and becoming a Social Worker. My background in both education and clinical social work allows me to understand how life's experiences, relationships, and environments shape who we are while helping clients develop practical, meaningful strategies for change.

I founded LyricsHeart Services because I wanted to build a practice centered on compassion, connection, and hope. The name "LyricsHeart" was inspired by my dog, Lyric, whose unconditional love and comfort reminded me of the profound impact that being present for someone can have. After experiencing the grief of losing Lyric, I gained an even deeper appreciation for the ways loss, love, and resilience shape our lives. Those experiences continue to influence how I show up for my clients, with empathy, authenticity, and the belief that healing is possible even after life's most difficult moments.

Today, I primarily work with adults, young adults, and kids navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, stress, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and the emotional weight that can come from trying to hold everything together. My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I don't believe therapy is about "fixing" you, it's about helping you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and build the tools you need to move forward with confidence.

Whether you're facing a major life transition, processing a loss, or simply looking for a place where you can breathe and be yourself, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of healing and growth and am dedicated to creating a collaborative and empathetic environment. I have been a licensed NJ therapist for 3 years, working with individuals of various ages, cultures, and points of view. I especially enjoy working with those in transitional periods of life - preteen and adolescents, young adults/college students, and adults navigating a new role or challenge for the first time.

Experience working with youth and young adults who struggle with anxiety, school-refusal, emotional regulation and adjustment, Autism, gender dysphoria, social anxiety, trauma, and ODD. Has also worked with adults in various settings, with a variety of concerns and feels a special connection with the geriatric population. Believes patience and understanding is key to developing a positive therapeutic relationship.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with advanced training in diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in Psychiatric-Mental Health and have over 15 years of experience working in psychiatry across outpatient, inpatient, and telehealth settings.

I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults, with a focus on anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and recovery support.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience. I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, maternal mental health, and other mental health conditions using evidence-based psychopharmacology tailored to each individual’s needs. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults, providing thoughtful, personalized care—particularly for individuals who have not found success with previous medication trials.

I believe that every individual deserves to be heard, respected, and treated with compassion. I take the time to understand each person's unique experiences, concerns, and goals before developing a treatment plan. My approach is collaborative, and I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their mental health. Whether you are seeking care for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or other mental health concerns, I am committed to helping you find the treatment approach that best fits your needs.

As a licensed professional counselor I provide clients with a safe space to share their concerns, struggles, or challenges. I believe the therapeutic relationship should be collaborative and built on warmth and trust. Together we will work to identify issues, past and present, with the goal of stability, healing and empowerment. Offering a holistic perspective, I specialize in perinatal and postpartum mental health, trauma and addiction (i.e. substance/alcohol abuse/dependency).

Other areas of practice include working with the LBGTQ+ community and parents and children. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma to infertility, relationships, or simply struggling to manage daily stress or recent change, I can help utilizing a strength-based and client-centered approach with treatment tailored to one’s unique needs

While this process may be challenging at times my hope is that in session you will find a non-judgmental space where your experience will be heard and you will leave feeling seen, supported, and more at ease. I look forward to working with you. Let the journey begin.
