My Approach to Therapy

Hi! I'm Dr. Natalie Dungey, a therapist in California. I approach therapy from a humanistic, existential, systems-oriented, and psychodynamic lens. That means I look at the full picture: what happened in your past, what's happening in your present, and what you're worried about for your future. What does life mean to you? How have you been living your life? How do you make meaning out of your experiences, and how do you give your life meaning going forward? Most of my clients look like they're doing amazing on the outside. Maybe they've set the standard that no one needs to check on them because they've always got it under control, until it gets to a point where they're literally drowning. Don't wait until you're drowning to reach for a lifeline. Start building the skills now to accept that it's okay to take breaks, it's okay to take care of yourself, and it's okay to ask for help.

Groups I Work With

My current clients range from ages 15 to 44, and most fall under one umbrella: high achievers, perfectionists, and recovering people pleasers. They tend to be very hard on themselves and often burned out. They may be struggling because they feel like they aren’t living life for themselves, and even after accomplishing something, it still doesn’t feel like enough. They don’t let themselves take breaks. They feel guilty resting, and guilty asking for help.
