About your therapist

Hi, I'm Nathalie.

I'm a mental health counselor who believes good therapy starts with feeling genuinely understood. I pair careful assessment with warmth, challenge, practical tools you can use between sessions, and humor (when it fits).

"Good therapy starts with feeling genuinely understood."

I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship stress, and burnout. In English and Spanish, by telehealth across NC and NY.

Common questions

Things people ask before starting.

Is everything virtual?

Yes, all sessions happen over secure video. I serve clients located in North Carolina and New York.

Do you take insurance?

I'm in-network with Aetna in North Carolina, and with Medicaid in both North Carolina and New York. For other plans, I can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement and walk you through the process.

How often would we meet?

Most people start weekly or biweekly. We'll adjust together as things shift.

What if I've never done therapy before?

That's completely okay. We'll go at your pace and make space for questions along the way.

Insurance and self-pay

In-network coverage and direct pay options.

I'm in-network with the providers below, and direct pay is always welcome. If your insurance isn't listed, I can provide a monthly superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.

  • Aetna
    • NC
  • Medicaid
    • NC
    • NY

Self-pay and sliding scale

Some clients prefer to pay directly for added privacy (no diagnosis on your insurance record) or for more flexibility in cadence and treatment focus. To keep care accessible, I hold a few reserved-fee spots and offer an income-based sliding scale so ongoing work stays workable for your situation.

Current rates and sliding-scale availability are best discussed during your free consultation.
