Natalie Rhodes Counseling

Individual Counseling I offer online individual counseling sessions for adults and teens ages 14 and older. I use an integrative approach, incorporating Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Structural Feminist Theory, and somatic interventions. I hold the belief that in order to strengthen our relationships with others, we must first strengthen our relationship with ourselves. Some of my areas of focus include (but aren't limited to): disordered eating behaviors, body image concerns, depression and anxiety symptoms, family issues, life transitions, impacts from systemic violence and trauma. I am neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC affirming and knowledgeable. Lastly, I use a Health at Every Size (HAES®) lens when working with all of my clients, no matter the presenting concern. As a Certified Body Trust® Provider I do not promote intentional wight loss of any kind and instead encourage clients to move towards body neutrality and radical self-acceptance. I know starting therapy can be difficult, that is why I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation to answer any questions you may have and assure we are a good match before moving forward. Contact me today! Body Trust Coaching In my capacity as a Certified Body Trust® Provider, as recognized by Center for Body Trust, I offer Body Trust coaching sessions. Body Trust is not another “program” to follow in order to make your body smaller. It is a radical counter cultural lens in which to view and explore your relationship with your body and food. It asks you to critically examine the ways that the dominate culture has impacted how you think and feel about your body. One of the many goals in adopting a Body Trust framework is to find peace, care, and acceptance for your body in a world that often fights against this birthright. There is a difference between Body Trust coaching and mental health counseling. Coaching may not be the right fit for everyone, that's why I provide a free 20-minute consultation call to assure this is the right fit for you before moving forward. The Body Trust coaching sessions I offer provide education, tools, resources and support to facilitate body acceptance, cultivate self-trust and change. Coaching requires work outside of session and active in session participation. Please note, coaching does not diagnose, treat, or assess for mental health disorders. While I do hold a mental health counseling license, I do not perform mental health counseling in my coaching sessions with clients Supervision In addition to offering individual counseling and coaching, I have current clinical supervision availibity for Licensed Professional Counselor Assoicates (LPCA) & Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associates (LMFTA) registered in Oregon. I believe that the success of a supervisory relationship is determined by the strength of the relationship and the willingness of the supervisor to allow for collaboration, feedback, and equity. I primarily use an integrative feminist, developmental, and multicultural approach to supervision. I encourage my supervisees to center their own lived and clinical experiences to help guide their therapeutic approach and client conceptualizations, all while acting as a supportive mentor. I am especially a great fit for perspective supervisees who hope to work, or are currently working with, individuals experiencing body image concerns and/or working on their relationship with food. ​I am happy to provide more information about my supervision approach and style during a free consultation call where we can assess if I am the right fit for you and your supervision needs, contact me today for more info and to set up a call!
