Hello, and welcome!
I’m Dr. Natalie Palermo, a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, OCD, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. Therapy offers an opportunity to better understand yourself, make sense of what’s been weighing on you, and develop new ways of responding to life’s challenges. My role is to help guide that process with compassion and practical support.
I approach therapy as a collaborative partnership. We’ll take the time to understand your experiences, identify patterns, and create a plan that reflects your goals and what matters most to you. Because no two people have the same story, I tailor treatment to your individual needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
I have specialized training in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, and OCD and use evidence-based therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Together, we’ll decide which approach best fits your concerns, preferences, and goals, making adjustments along the way as your needs evolve.
Whether you’re working through a difficult experience, struggling with persistent anxiety, or looking to make meaningful changes in your life, therapy can provide the structure, support, and skills to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
If you think we may be a good fit, or if you’d like to learn more about my approach, I’d be happy to connect. Feel free to reach out to schedule a free consultation. I look forward to speaking with you!

I aim to collaborate with you to better understand your struggles, build functional coping skills, and create a new narrative where you feel empowered to confront problems and build a fulfilling future.
I have two Masters degrees in both Social Work and Human Sexuality Education from Widener University in Chester, Pennsylvania. I have experience providing individual therapy to adults of all ages (18 to 75+ yo) as well as creating and facilitating therapy groups for special populations. I employ various trauma-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness Based Interventions for individuals with a wide array of struggles such as anxiety, depression, and traumatic stress.
My degree in Human Sexuality Education has provided me with the specialized skill set to assist those who are healing from traumatic sexual experiences, domestic violence, and experiencing sexual difficulties solo and/or with their partner(s). While earning my degree, I was specifically trained in the therapeutic care of individuals in the LGBTQIA+ and gender-diverse communities.
