Natalie Ward, M.S., LMHC, EMDR Therapist

“If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to begin, therapy can be a powerful turning point. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and EMDR Certified Therapist in Florida, I provide a safe, compassionate, and confidential space to help you heal, regulate your nervous system, and move forward with clarity and confidence.”

Who I Help

I work with high-functioning, motivated teens (12+) and adults across Florida who may appear capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally. Many of my clients are used to pushing through anxiety, chronic stress, and past trauma on their own and are now ready for deeper, lasting support. I best serve individuals who are eager for meaningful change and open to evidence-based approaches like EMDR to move beyond survival mode and experience greater emotional regulation and clarity.

I commonly support:

  • Trauma and PTSD

  • High-functioning anxiety

  • Chronic stress and burnout

  • Nervous system overwhelm

  • Teen anxiety and emotional stress

  • Women navigating anxiety and life transitions

My Specialties

  • EMDR Therapy

    EMDR is a structured, evidence-based trauma therapy that targets the root memories driving anxiety, PTSD, and nervous system dysregulation. It is well suited for motivated teens and adults seeking efficient, results-oriented treatment beyond surface-level coping.

  • Trauma- Informed Care

    Trauma-informed care recognizes how past experiences impact the nervous system, emotions, and daily functioning. Treatment prioritizes safety, collaboration, and evidence-based approaches to support healing without retraumatization.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps teens and adults identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns driving anxiety, stress, and emotional distress. CBT focuses on practical skills to improve coping, emotional regulation, and daily functioning.

  • Christian Counseling

    Christian counseling integrates faith-based principles with evidence-based therapy for clients who desire a spiritually informed approach. Sessions may include prayer, biblical reflection, and clinically sound interventions to support emotional healing, growth, and resilience.

  • Teen Counseling

    Teen therapy offers a safe, supportive space for adolescents (12+) navigating anxiety, school stress, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. Sessions focus on building coping skills, confidence, and healthier emotional regulation.

  • Public Speaking

    Available for public speaking on topics including trauma, anxiety, nervous system regulation, teen mental health, and faith-integrated wellness. Presentations are engaging, practical, and grounded in evidence-based clinical expertise for schools, churches, and community groups.
