Meet the Team: Natalie DeLeon MA, LPC
Natalie DeLeon’s favorite part of her work is seeing the confidence and “glow” her clients experience as they recognize the progress they’ve made. She prioritizes her own well-being by staying consistent with her workouts, and outside of work, she enjoys relaxing and spending time with her husband and their dog, Bear—especially going on walks together. Her ideal weekend includes soaking up the sunshine and being with close family and friends. Natalie encourages anyone starting therapy to remember that it’s completely normal to feel nervous and that it’s important to move at a pace that feels comfortable for them.
