Getting to know Natalie Graves

My name is Natalie Graves, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Sacramento, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Phoenix. I work with adults and adolescents dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, trauma, life stressors, family and relationship conflicts, and self-esteem challenges using models like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. My approach to therapy depends on the unique needs of each client. I do not believe one size fits all. I most frequently use Narrative Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy because they support partnering with clients to meet them where they are, own their stories, and provide tools to build self-confidence, regulate emotions, and navigate relationships successfully. With over 8 years of experience, I have worked with adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, strained family relationships, stress, low self-confidence, gender and sexuality struggles, self-harm behaviors, overwhelm, shame, life transitions, social pressures, and grief and loss. I help clients understand and accept themselves while building skills to face life’s challenges with greater confidence, so they feel better about themselves and their ability to handle what comes their way. My communication style fosters calm and acceptance. I listen without judgment and strive to meet clients where they are so they feel heard, understood, supported, and unconditionally accepted for who they are. I also use humor when appropriate because I believe laughter is healing.
