About

Welcome, my name is Natalie Badawy and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Psychotherapist (LMFT #149747) with a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology. Since 2021, I have worked with adults, teens, and families in California.

I currently see clients via telehealth where I work with clients struggling with sexual trauma, grief, codependency, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I facilitate an environment where you can heal and focus on reducing fear, growing self-esteem, and regulating emotions.

Many of us carry our emotional wounds in our bodies and only when we create a connection between the mind and the body can we feel whole again. I utilize a blend of therapeutic techniques in order to create a safe connection within the body and mind. When you are in connection with your whole self you are then equipped to heal your relationship with yourself and others.

Clinical Style

Warm, direct, curious, patient, and supportive of long-term change.
