Natalie Shafer, LPC, NCC, CYT

Natalie practices an integrated psychodynamic approach and believes that our connection to the world and those around us is what defines the human experience. Relationships can help advance a healthy sense of self, which is especially true of the therapeutic alliance, where multicultural awareness, kindness, empathy, and understanding are the building blocks for growth. Natalie’s clinical experience includes adult, senior, and couples counseling for those seeking support for anxiety, depression, sociopolitical distress, relational/attachment challenges, grief management, somatic attunement, life-stage developmental concerns, and trauma recovery.

Natalie is a licensed professional counselor in Illinois and a nationally certified counselor. Natalie is also a certified yoga instructor and a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA). Prior to clinical mental health counseling, Natalie worked for more than two decades in food and nutrition marketing and advocacy, so she understands the impact of career and lifestyle changes on identity and overall wellbeing.
