MWR Counseling

June is here! And with it we have the first of many exciting updates happening at MWR...

Welcome Natalie!

Natalie works with kids (8+), teens, and adults and brings a thoughtful, client-centered approach to therapy. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Sand Tray Therapy to help clients navigate challenges including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship concerns, interpersonal difficulties, and life transitions.

One of the things we appreciate most about Natalie is her warm, approach style. She is passionate about creating a space where clients feel comfortable, supported, and empowered as they work toward their goals.

Natalie is now accepting new clients, and we are thrilled to have her as part of our team. Please join us in giving her a warm welcome!

We are so very proud to announce that Janey has completed Gottman Level 1 and Level 2 training!

While individual counseling focuses on personal growth, healing, and developing tools for your own mental and emotional wellbeing, couples counseling typically takes a different approach to focus on helping two people improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen their connection together. The Gottman Method is one of the most research-backed approaches in couples therapy, and this training equips Janey with powerful tools to support couples at every stage of their relationship.

Congratulations, Janey! We are so proud of you and grateful for the help and support you provide!

Reach out to MWR Counseling at 319.250.1267 to learn more or schedule with Janey.
