Natalie Fecht, LMHC
Child & Adolescent Mental Health + Play Therapy
Since starting her career in 2008, Natalie has dedicated herself to supporting young minds. Hailing from a small town didn’t stop her from gaining extensive experience, which spans residential treatment centers, community mental health agencies, private practices, and school-based counseling. Her most notable work involves using play therapy to help children articulate their feelings and overcome personal challenges. Over the years, she has honed this approach through comprehensive training and supervision, making a significant impact on her young clients' lives.
Drawn to the field by her natural inclination to listen and support, Natalie finds inspiration in helping others navigate their struggles. Her passion lies in witnessing the transformative moments in a child's journey—seeing them express feelings of improvement or sharing their progress is the pinnacle of her work.
Outside the office, Natalie's world revolves around her family—husband Dusty and children, Jude and Edith—and her culinary adventures.
“The most rewarding part of my job is when a child tells me they are feeling better or shares that they have taken a big step in some way!”
