Natalie (Samuels) Seitz
MSW, LCSW, Owner and Founder
EMDR Trained, ERP Certified, ADHD-CCSP
Provides Telehealth Counseling for Individual Adults

Bring a cup of tea or coffee to our telehealth session together, and let's take the time to hear your story. How have you been feeling lately? Where has life taken you? I have a warm and intentional approach, and I specialize in helping adults discover their resiliency and find peace in their everyday lives.

I work with individual adults (18 yrs & older) affected by anxiety, depression, trauma, and OCD, as well as issues including life changes, perfectionism, self-esteem issues, and grief & loss. I also work with adults diagnosed with ADHD, especially women diagnosed later in life, or those who are curious if they could have ADHD.

I use an eclectic approach that's tailored to each individual client,

and am trained in the following evidence-based treatment modalities:

EMDR Trained for Trauma and PTSD
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Certified for OCD
ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP)
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
Motivational Interviewing

I also have past experience volunteering with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) Indiana Chapter, as a volunteer State-Wide Trainer for Youth Mental Health First Aid, and also as a support group leader for those who have lost loved ones to suicide.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Indiana, which is one of several paths professionals can take to become outpatient mental health therapists. Because I am licensed in the State of Indiana and provide online telehealth services, I can see anyone who is currently in the State of Indiana.

I have almost 20 years of experience working in the mental health field,

at various levels of care including community mental health, youth residential treatment, acute inpatient psychiatric care, and school-based social work. Over a decade of those years has been in outpatient mental health counseling.

I also enjoy working with the creatively minded, and have previous experience working with an Art Therapist on how to blend the creative process with traditional talk therapy as clients desire.

1.

Intake (First) Therapy Session
(60 mins)

For our first session together, we have a full 60 minutes to talk about you. What would you like to get out of your time here? Where would you like to be? Near the end of our session together, we'll discuss different therapy modalities and what feels like the best fit to help you reach your goals.

Note: This does not include free 15-minute consultations! Fill out the form below to learn more.

2.

Individual Therapy Sessions
(45-50 mins)

After we complete our intake session together, we set out on our journey towards meeting the goals we came up with together, one 45-50 minute session at a time. Each session allows time to talk through your priorities and target what changes you would like to experience. All of this is backed by data-driven, evidence-based practice in a safe and calming environment.

3.

EMDR Therapy Sessions
(90 mins)

These 90-minute sessions allow for more processing time with Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (or E.M.D.R.) Therapy. EMDR Therapy is an evidence-based practice for those who have experienced trauma, and it helps people let go of the negative beliefs people hold about ourselves.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

You ask, I answer.

Our first intake session together is 60 minutes long, and is $165.

This allows us plenty of time to hear your story, talk about your reasons for coming to counseling, and to create a treatment plan together based on the best treatment modalities for you. It also accounts for the detailed work I will be doing behind the scenes, to prepare for our next sessions together.

Our regular sessions after that are typically 45-50 minutes long, and are $140.

For some clients, they prefer to meet for occasional 90 minute sessions, which are $210.

These 90 min sessions can be particularly helpful for occasional targeted EMDR work for trauma, or for busier times in your life when you just have more you want to talk through that week.

Longer EMDR intensives are also available upon request, for clients who process best in 120 min sessions.

In terms of payment for services, I am out-of-network with all insurances.

I do this because as a solo practitioner, there is a considerable amount of time required to process insurance paperwork.

This allows me to focus 100% of our time together on providing you with the highest quality of care.

However, I can provide you with a detailed receipt (or “Superbill”),

that you can use to pursue out-of-network reimbursement with your insurance company, if you so choose.

When clients request out-of-network reimbursement,

clients submit their superbills themselves directly to their insurance company, and then the client receives reimbursement directly from their insurance company, usually in the form of a check in the mail. Many insurance companies reimburse a certain percentage directly to you for out-of-network counseling.

To find out what your insurance company reimburses for out-of-network counseling:

I recommend that you call the customer service phone number on the back of your insurance card and ask:

"What do you reimburse for out-of-network, outpatient mental health counseling?"

So, what that would look like should you choose to see me?

You would simply pay in full at the time of our counseling appointment, and I would provide you with superbills as needed.

I accept HSA/FSA cards, and all major credit cards. Payment is due at time of service.

This varies greatly from person to person. I usually recommend starting with 12 sessions, at which point you may feel you have met your goals, or your may decide you have further work you'd like to do together.

For those who have experienced trauma, and/or for those who may be wondering if they have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder or ADHD, you might find that you'd like to complete more sessions to get to where you want to be.

How often we meet can vary as well. To start, I often recommend meeting once a week, or at least every other week, to get faster symptom relief.

We can talk further at our intake session together, to determine the best fit for your treatment needs.

While I understand that paying out of pocket for therapy services can be expensive, providing a high quality of care for you is my priority; therefore, I do not accept insurance directly at this time. I do try to keep my rates comparable to or less than others in the community.

If my services are not the right fit for you, I am also happy to help provide referral information for other local providers who are in-network with your insurance.

Whomever you seek care with, your quality of care is what is most important to me!

Yes, I do offer free consultations!

I offer free 15 minute virtual consultations to better answer your questions, to further understand what you are looking for in outpatient counseling services, and to give you some time to connect & see if you feel that services with me would be a good fit for you.

To book a free 15 minute consultation with me today:

Please send me a message via the "Contact Me" section at the bottom of the page.

You will then receive an email prompting you to request a time for a free consultation, via my online scheduling platform, at a time that is convenient for you.
