Connected Counseling and Wellness, LLC- Adult and Adolescent Center

Cumming, GA

Natalie has a passion for calling out the gold in people. While working toward a bachelor’s degree in dance, Natalie discovered she enjoyed uplifting her fellow dancers even more than teaching classes or performing. She realized the artists she met needed encouragement just as much as technical training, and she sought to fill the gap by becoming a therapist. 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. Natalie’s goal is to create a supportive relationship where her clients can find wholeness and healing. She now works with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem issues, disordered eating, and trauma. She is under the supervision of Lindsey Mart, LPC, CPCS.
