Natalie Hogge is a dedicated Trauma-informed Clinical Psychotherapist, known for her integrative and respectful approach to mental wellness. With a specialization in Expressive Arts Therapy, she advocates for a non-intrusive, client-led communication pathway that respects the individual's narrative without presumption or imposition. This arrives in the voice of imagery outside the confines of words alone. Her methodology employs a variety of expressive modalities—including movement, visual arts, written word, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and sound—to navigate and transform the emotional landscape.  She has found that art offers a powerhouse for healing, where words alone may not suffice. She witnesses the powerful transformation that occurs when individuals and families are given the space to deconstruct, process, and re-imagine essential change.  People of all ages are champions of their own transformation with creative process offering a bridge to better understand and convey one's experience. 

 

Employing a contemplative approach to wellness, Natalie uses diverse, established therapeutic modalities in her work. This offers a breadth of approaches that evolve through a client-led process.  Ultimately, building a collaborative and dynamic approach to work has led to a more lasting, embodied transformation, from her experience.  She endeavors to collaborate with clients both creatively, and pragmatically in order to develop processes and shifts in worldview that transcend inner and outer conflict.  The ultimate transformation occurs when patterns are established that better support a life of connection, compassion and awareness, one that is both toward the self, and others.  Working to support the acquisition of a lasting state of peace, resilience, and a newfound blueprint can render a more meaningful existence. Natalie's therapeutic philosophy centers on the inherent capacity for self-healing, emphasizing the embrace of vulnerability, the empowerment of owning one’s narrative, the concept of true freedom being relational, and the encouragement of new ways of perceiving. ​

 

Natalie spends free time engaging in her own art and contemplative practice. She works through the messy human stuff in the normal human way, learning from others' wisdom.  We learn from each other, and there lies the gift in the suffering of  humanity. Nurturing her artistic expression is key to fostering an imaginative and adaptive therapeutic environment. This personal dedication ensures she remains engaged, resourceful, and empathetically attuned to those she serves.
