Hi, I’m Natalie Foster, a therapist in Scottsdale, Arizona. I believe that our stories shape us, but they don’t have to define us. The experiences we’ve lived through, the relationships we’ve had, and the messages we’ve learned about ourselves can influence how we see ourselves and move through the world. With the right support, those patterns can change.

​

I’m passionate about helping people understand themselves more deeply, work through what has shaped them, and reconnect with their own strength. Therapy isn’t about becoming someone different. It’s about getting to know yourself beneath the coping, expectations, and protective patterns, so you can move through life with greater confidence, connection, and authenticity. My role is to help you understand these patterns, reconnect with your strengths, and create greater freedom in how you respond to yourself, your relationships, and your life.

​

I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and attachment concerns, grief and loss, boundaries, communication, betrayal, self-esteem, and the unique pressures that can come with being a high achiever. I also work with loved ones who have been impacted by addiction and adults who are ready to better understand how their past experiences may be affecting their present relationships and sense of self.

​

With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I’ve worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings with adults across a wide range of experiences and backgrounds. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and individualized. I draw from EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Post Induction Therapy (PIT), GTEP, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and strengths-based approaches. Together, we’ll find what works best for you and your unique needs.

​

For clients who want to focus more deeply on trauma processing, I also offer EMDR Intensives, a focused therapy option that provides extended time for EMDR work outside of the traditional weekly therapy format.

​

I know reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to be honest about what’s really going on. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin.

 

Together, we can work toward healing old wounds, changing patterns that no longer serve you, strengthening your relationships, and creating a life that feels more authentic and connected.

​

It would be a privilege to walk alongside you in that process.​
