Getting to know Natalie Thomas
I'm Natalie G. Thomas, LCSW-BACS. I've been a licensed mental health practitioner for more than 16 years. I founded Thought LAB Therapy primarily because I've seen so much human suffering while working as a clinician. I've witnessed how treatment can change the lives of people who never thought it could happen. I want everyone to experience this amount of transformation in their lives. I've worked hard and trained over the years to provide a *safe space for you to find restoration, joy, and healing in your life. Get started today and book your free phone consultation.
I earned my Master's in Social Work from Southern University at New Orleans. I started my professional career at an agency that provided HIV support services in metro New Orleans. I spent several years as a case manager, helping people navigate the medical and social landscape of living with a highly stigmatized chronic illness. Later, after meeting the requirements to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2007, I began providing mental health counseling at the agency. I think my therapy work had the most significant impact on those who were newly diagnosed with HIV or who recently found out their children were born with HIV. I was often one of the first and sometimes the only person they openly discussed their HIV status with. It was complex and rewarding work helping people adjust to living with HIV and all it brings to them and their families. I was able to help kids manage the complications of adolescence and HIV. I watched some of those children grow into young adults, and during their many struggles, I witnessed their resilience. I've worked as a therapist in an adolescent inpatient behavioral health hospital and at a public mental health clinic, providing counseling and therapy to people with severe mental illnesses. More recently, I've worked at an insurance company reviewing the insured's medical records to determine their ongoing mental health treatment needs.
