My name is Natalie Wheeler, and I am an Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, Supervised by Michael Pontello, LMFT-S 20141. Here at Cypress Counseling and Behavioral Center where

I am committed to helping kids, teens, adults and couples who feel overwhelmed by negative thoughts, experiences, and emotions. In our therapy sessions, I will listen to your story with compassion and walk alongside you as we work together to overcome and process the issues that brought you here. I believe in a collaborative approach, where we can uncover the patterns in your life that may be holding you back from realizing your true potential.

I also value the importance of incorporating your family system into our work, as I believe that this can lead to lasting change. I am passionate about working with couples to enhance communication, resolve conflicts, and navigate challenging life transitions together.

Using strengths-based techniques, I strive to help you embrace your unique resources, skills, and perspectives. My approach is non-judgmental and empathetic; I see you as a multifaceted individual, defined not just by your struggles, but by your stories of resilience and the possibilities that lie ahead.

My Story:

My path to becoming a therapist started with my own difficult experiences growing up. I faced challenges at home including exposure to high family conflict, addiction, and the loss of a parent as a child. Going through therapy myself helped me heal and inspired me to support others in their own wellness journeys. I’m especially passionate about working with families and couples because I know how often our struggles are connected to our relationships and repeating past cycles. I bring both my professional skills and a deep sense of empathy to my work, helping clients find ways to heal and grow. During my off time, I love going to the park with my dog and husband, baking, and crocheting!

My Training & Approach:

My approach to therapy is rooted in building a space where clients feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves without fear of judgment. I believe that my clients are the true experts on their own lives, and I take time to understand each person’s unique story and needs. As a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, I have training and experience working with families, couples, teens, children, and adults. I work from a systemic perspective, meaning I consider how relationships, past experiences, and social roles influence my clients' sense of self and overall mental health. I specialize in helping clients navigate relational issues and break free from negative patterns often rooted in past trauma. I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, so I work collaboratively with my clients to find an approach and pace that feels right for them. I also encourage open communication and welcome feedback throughout our time together.
