Natalie Rahe

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and more than 10 years of experience working in behavioral health. My background includes community mental health, correctional reentry services, and private practice, which has given me experience working with people from many different backgrounds and life circumstances.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family stress, self-esteem concerns, boundaries, perfectionism, grief, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy helping clients better understand the patterns they’ve developed, where those patterns came from, and what they want to do differently moving forward.

I bring warmth, humor, curiosity, and honesty into the therapy room. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you come in—that’s part of the work we’ll do together.
