Work with Natalie Bouffard-Lewis (MA, LPC, LMFT)

About Me

As a counselor and an artist, I enjoy helping others - youth, adults, and families - solve challenges and improve their relationships, communication, and growth. I see the therapeutic process as a journey. We get to a better place by working together, identifying your goals and the strategies to make them reality. I firmly believe that the best way to do this is by providing a safe and judgment-free environment where I listen with unconditional positive regard, helping you clearly see the path in front of you. It is in the moments of profound insight - when the light truly comes on - that we can leap forward in overcoming current challenges, escape painful mindsets and relationship dynamics, and create opportunities for true and lasting growth. We are partners, working together to find what works for you. I’m excited to begin that journey.

Written by D.E. on Jul 19, 2022 after therapy with Natalie for 1 year and 5 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, sleeping disorders, career difficulties, and coping with life changes

I’ve had several therapists before but I’m so thankful I found Natalie! She has helped me grow exponentially since I started seeing her and I’m so grateful for her kindness, knowledge and insight. I appreciate that she’s given me tools to guide me through this growth that I can return back to for the rest of my life. I have a much better understanding of myself and I’m excited to learn more. She’s a wonderful human being.

Ms. Natalie is a kind-hearted soul who has nothing but good intentions. She truly listens with an open mind. She provides incredible physical and mental tools, and does an awesome job explaining the reasoning behind each. Ms. Natalie does a great job of working around your needs. When I talk to her, it feels like I am conversing with a friend!

Written by S.H. on May 16, 2022 after therapy with Natalie for 1 year and 4 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship issues, family conflicts, and intimacy-related issues

Natalie has helped me through multiple issues and really helped in guiding me to find my own answers on many tough decisions. She helped me identify roadblocks and genuinely listens and cares, and is willing to suggest and try multiple techniques and exercises to help get to the root of problems… or just to calm down from them. I honestly feel that having therapy with Natalie has made me a better (and less uptight) person.

I've bee working with Natalie for almost a year now (once a week video sessions) and I am so grateful for her. Natalie makes me feel seen and heard and her sincerity in these actions are clear. I have never had a better Therapist in my life and there have been several. The best part is that I can see progress within myself and I wouldnt of able to make that progress without Natalie.

She is extremely helpful and easy to talk to. I honestly wish some of the session could be a bit longer but I do realize that there are other people that she has to help as well.

Natalie is really cool. She has this great bedside manner even though we’ve never met face to face. This has given me confidence that we can explore struggles I’ve been putting off for oh so many years! She rocks!

I had put off getting help for years. I wasn’t sure if therapy was right for me, but it was one of the best decisions I have made thus far. Natalie is a great listener, very understanding, relatable and recommended tools relevant to my situation. I highly recommend her and counseling for anyone struggling through life’s difficult stages.

From the first video chat, Ms. Natalie made me feel comfortable and at ease right away. I’ve been working with her for a couple of months now and I can honestly say that she has helped me so much. She is such a kind and warm hearted counselor who I feel truly and genuinely cares about my well-being and I can tell that she loves her career. I’m so grateful to be working with her as I always feel better after our chats and I’d say my mental health has improved, overall. Thank you, Ms. Natalie!

Natalie is amazing. She's the sweetest person and is so good at putting all my scattered thoughts together and finding patterns in the things I say and have said in past appointments. She's helped me so much in a short period of time. Highly recommend Natalie.

I have been in therapy for years, and never has a counselor related to me like Natalie. I feel as if we were destined to meet, and she is guiding me along a difficult journey in my life. I am very grateful for the support I receive from Natalie!

Written by M.I. on Feb 24, 2021 after therapy with Natalie for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and relationship issues

Natalie is a wonderful listener! She takes the time to really understand what I’m trying to say and then also takes time to answer fully. She sneaks advice, thoughts and tips in ways that don’t feel overwhelming. I have been enjoying my time with Natalie.
