My name is Dr. Natalia Kuzmina. I hold a Ph.D in Couple and Family Therapy. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified EMDR therapist. My work centers on people who feel stuck in painful relationship patterns—survivors of narcissistic abuse, childhood trauma, experiencing trauma bonding, or relationships where they’ve been used, manipulated, or made to feel small. Many of my clients come to me exhausted from always being the “strong one,” the peacekeeper, the fixer. They say yes when they want to say no. They feel guilty for setting boundaries, or they’ve never had the chance to build them in the first place. They’re people-pleasers, and chronic caregivers who keep ending up with partners or family members who take far more than they give. I help you break that cycle. With EMDR and other science-based approaches, we work at the root—not just on the symptoms. We target the wounds and experiences that trained your nervous system to accept too little, tolerate too much, and abandon yourself to stay safe. My style is direct, grounded, and compassionate. I will challenge you when it helps you grow, and I’ll support you without judgment. My goal is for you to build a solid sense of self—one that doesn’t collapse around other people’s needs. One that knows how to say no without guilt, how to choose partners who respect you, and how to walk away from relationships that damage you. If you’re ready to stop repeating old patterns and start building a life where you feel safe, valued, and in control, I’m here to walk that path with you.

Dr.Kuzmina has always been so kind and compassionate with me. She listens to all of my concerns and gives me insight on my feelings and my situations. I’m glad I was matched with her, and look forward to more sessions with her.

Written on Jan 07, 2024 after therapy with Natalia for 8 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, sleeping disorders, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue
Dr. Kuzmina is just amazing! She knows exactly what needs to be done for her patients. Right after our first session she understood my concerns and offered me the treatment that suits best to me. I am grateful to have a therapist like her. My concerns were well addressed and now I am feeling much better than before. She provided me with relevant material to read and understand what’s going on with me so that I am able to cope with everything myself. The worksheets that she gave were the best part, even if I am stuck somewhere, I go back to the worksheet to understand and analyze the situation and know how to handle it. I would love to continue consulting with her for any other concerns in futures.
