Before completing a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Liberty University, Natalie gained experience at a children’s home, where she worked with adolescents with behavioral concerns and parents who needed support. She also worked with adolescents and adults with eating disorders at an inpatient program and in a private practice setting.
