Getting to know Natalie Mercado

Hi there. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of California, Los Angeles. I believe freedom comes from awareness and am dedicated to creating brave, safe spaces where vulnerability can flourish to fully connect with truth, love, and joy. My approach This time is for you and is a courageous act of self-love. I have an inclusive style and tailor sessions by considering the wholeness of each individual’s mind, body, and soul. My focus I work with women who feel there has to be more to life and desire a new way. Women who are tired, numb, overachievers, self-sacrificing, and learning to love and nurture themselves. My communication style I am curious, non-judgmental, and simply fascinated by humans and their brains. I desire to create the environment you need. My journey to mental healthcare I am a lifelong learner, passionate about my life, and aware that this moment is the only truth and that I am the creator of my life. As a teen, I heard, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others” — M. Gandhi — and I was hooked. My goals for you Goal setting and attainment are done as a team, collaboratively. Goals can also change as individuals do. My first session with you A space where you are fully heard and valued.
