Ms. Hunter

Natalie Hunter holds a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri and Arkansas, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California, and a National Certified Counselor.

Natalie was drawn to the field because of her interest in emotions and behaviors and in helping people cope and heal from adversity. She uses CBT but has also been trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and has extensive training and experience in treating trauma. For Natalie, the most important aspect of working effectively together is creating a trusting therapeutic relationship. She makes this a priority with her clients.

Natalie grew up in southwest Missouri with a single mom and an older brother. She was painfully shy as a child but interested in everything, so she spent a lot of time just observing and people watching. They didn’t have a lot of money as her mother was a teacher, but it was a happy childhood. Her mother passed on a passion for education, literature and music to her. She spent a lot of time helping the kids that no one else wanted to teach, and she modeled that helping mentality for Natalie.

When Natalie isn’t working, she loves writing poetry and journaling but also loves to relax on the couch and watch TV. She is studying history and pursuing a Master’s degree in History at Glasgow University.
