"Working with Natalie Robbins as my Equus Coach was been a profoundly transformative experience. Through our time together, she helped me build a deeper, more authentic connection with both myself and my horse, unlocking a level of trust and understanding I never thought possible. Her intuitive and compassionate guidance challenged me to examine the way I show up in relationships—not just with my horse, but with others in my life. Natalie’s coaching allowed me to see myself through a new lens, shifting my perspective on how I interact with the world and how others may perceive me. She helped me let go of self-doubt, embrace my inner strength, and step into a more confident and grounded version of myself. The lessons I’ve learned with her extend far beyond the arena, shaping the way I navigate relationships and life with clarity and purpose. I look back fondly on our time together with the horses and will always admire Natalie for her wisdom, patience, and the life-changing work she does." ~ Anonymous

 "I was referred to Natalie Robbins, LCSW, during an extremely difficult time, when I was experiencing high levels of anxiety with depression. Natalie is a skilled, wise and keenly perceptive, professional therapist. By using the valuable modalities of EMDR, CBT and DBT, my mood improved and my anxiety decreased. I’m now aware of and recognize thoughts and behavior patterns caused by past traumas and events, that no longer serve me. She has taught me to use tools and coping strategies that allow me to  feel more acceptance, trust and even joy. Yes, I had to show up, be honest and do the often difficult work each week but I felt supported, heard and seen by Natalie. Now, I’m happy to say that I have more “good” days than not and I’m able to navigate life in a more empowered and authentic way. So grateful! "  ~ LM

"Natalie Robbins has been an absolute guiding light in my life. During one of the most challenging times—navigating and seeing through my divorce—she provided unwavering support, helping me process my emotions, rebuild my confidence, and find my own strength. She didn’t just help me heal; she encouraged me to dream again. With her guidance, I found the courage to go back to college, pursue my passions, and take steps toward a future I once thought was out of reach. Her expertise in EMDR was truly life-changing, helping me work through deep-seated anxiety and negative thoughts about myself in ways I never thought possible. Through her compassionate approach, she rewired the way I saw myself, replacing doubt with self-belief and fear with resilience. No matter how difficult the journey, Natalie always made me feel strong and empowered. I am endlessly grateful for her wisdom, kindness, and ability to inspire me to always follow my dreams."  ~ AK

 "I can hardly express how grateful I am to you for introducing me to EMDR and for the quick relief it brought me after months of sleeplessness and worry. After just three sessions, not only am I sleeping well, but remarkably, I am finding it impossible to feel any sense of worry connected to the thoughts that kept me up at night. Of course, I still know what those thoughts are, but they have zero power over me anymore. It’s nothing short of miraculous. With my nights once more dedicated to resting, my days are spent clear-minded, alert, and I find myself able to objectively handle whatever challenges come my way. Who knew sleep was so important?! As always, thank you for the depth of compassion and experience you bring to the therapeutic setting. You’ve always created such an amazing space for me to do my “work” and when it comes to EMDR, you’ve made a believer out of me. Thank you! "  ~ Michael

"Working alongside Natalie, as well as experiencing her facilitation of the Safe Conversations dialogue is awe-inspiring. She possesses a rare ability to hold space with both warmth and precision, fostering an environment where individuals feel genuinely heard, valued, and understood. Her presence alone cultivates a sense of calm and trust, allowing even the most hesitant participants to open up.  I’ve witnessed Natalie navigate some of the most challenging dialogues with remarkable skill, helping clients shift from disconnection to emotional intimacy. Her ability to inspire transformation through trust, empathy, and insight is truly a gift. I am especially moved by Natalie’s intuition. She effortlessly perceives the deeper emotions beneath words, guiding couples through complex conversations with grace and clarity. Moreover, her unwavering integrity shines through in everything she does; she doesn’t just teach Safe Conversations—she embodies it in her daily life, modeling authentic communication and deep respect in every interaction. Natalie’s unique blend of perceptiveness, sincerity, and heartfelt dedication fosters meaningful growth in those with whom she works. She approaches dialogue work with keen awareness and genuine concern, creating a space where honest expression and deeper understanding naturally emerge. Her ability to gently guide others toward new perspectives can be transformative. I have no doubt that anyone who engages with Natalie will leave with a greater sense of confidence, connection, and personal insight."  ~ EP

 “I highly recommend Natalie as a therapist! She is extremely knowledgeable and well-versed in many various techniques. I have been her client for over 11 years. I had worked with other therapists in the past, and no one I have seen prior comes close to her level of knowledge and the compassion, that she has shown me over the years. I at one time had a massive fear of ticks due to the illnesses that affected my family. The fear impacted my day-to-day life so much that I couldn’t even walk on grass. I remember calling many different therapists in search of help for my fears and OCD.  Many of them were dismissive and short with me.  But from the moment I spoke to Natalie, she took the time to truly understand my concerns and address them, even before I was her client. Not only did she listen, but she applied various effective techniques to help me overcome those fears. One of the most impactful methods she used was immersion therapy. Natalie was incredibly compassionate, patient, and understanding. She met me without judgment and gave me the time I needed to gradually adjust, acclimate, and regain control. Thanks to her support, I no longer live in fear and the fear of ticks and grass is gone. Natalie has also continued to help me navigate significant challenges, including a difficult divorce, being a single mom, moving to a new state, raising a teenager, and other major life changes. She keeps me grounded and accountable, making everything feel much more manageable — even enjoyable. My only regret is not starting therapy with her sooner. I am so grateful for her guidance and unwavering support. If you’re considering therapy, I wholeheartedly recommend Natalie. She’s truly the best and one of a kind." ~ Anonymous
