“The absolute best. Nat listens and gives excellent feedback. Although, only being my therapist for a short amount of time. Within this short time, Nat has helped me tremendously through some painful challenges. Above all, Nat has undoubtedly helped me view things from a different perspective.”

“I had a wonderful first session with Natalie. She asked great questions to get me to open up and describe why I felt it was time for a "mental health tune up," including a few questions I don't yet have answers to! She was warm and friendly, and I'm confident she'll help guide me down the path of learning more about my brain.”

Getting to know Natalie Matos
* I do not prescribe medication! Thank you *
I understand how difficult and important making the decision to come to therapy can be. I believe in the power of building a strong, therapeutic relationship with my clients. I know the importance of empathy and the benefit of having your voice heard throughout treatment. My goal is to always create a welcoming and safe space that allows my clients to explore what they need to help them lead a more meaningful life. I believe that therapy is an amazing process in which we work together to build upon innate strengths and discover areas for improvement.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Alabama and Illinois. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Loyola University Chicago and my Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
I look forward to meeting you!
Natalie Matos (She/Her)
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach to therapy is collaborative and strengths-based. I employ an array of techniques including cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and resilience-based therapies in my practice. Every person is unique and brings their own life experiences to the process. Together with my clients, we identify which strategies and methods will be the most comforting and beneficial to each individual. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem building, stress, and work-related issues. I specialize in working with diverse individuals. In particular, I work with the LGBTQIA+ community to provide a safe space to learn and grow within themselves. As a queer-identified therapist, I understand the importance of providing an affirming and inclusive environment to all my clients.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I practice talk therapy in all sessions. We discuss symptoms, symptom management, and explore diagnoses together.
