Ann Natale

Counseling Intern, Administrative Coordinator
They/Them, She/Her

Ann (they/she) is a multiracial queer and nonbinary person who is passionate about creating a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free space where clients can show up as their authentic selves. They believe in a holistic approach to growth and wellness, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. Their therapeutic approach is person-centered, strengths-based, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and culturally sensitive, ensuring that each client’s diverse backgrounds, identities, values, and experiences are respected and celebrated.

Because of her holistic perspective, Ann also welcomes conversations around religious and spiritual concerns, recognizing their significance in personal growth and identity. Ann understands that life-limiting ideas have historically marginalized many communities, including people of color, women, differently-abled individuals, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ persons. In therapy, Ann strives to partner with clients in exploring liberative, life-giving self-narratives that foster healing and empowerment.

Ann holds a B.A. in Religious Studies from North Central College and is currently in a master’s level clinical counseling program at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. Ann is honored to walk alongside clients as they navigate their unique journeys toward healing, self-discovery, and personal liberation.
