Nathaniel 'Nathan' Reed, LCSW-C, LCSW
About me
As a licensed therapist, I bring over 15 years of post-licensure experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through complex life challenges. I began my education and work in behavioral health 27 years ago. My practice is deeply committed to creating an affirming, inclusive space for diverse experiences and identities. I specialize in addressing mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth.
My therapeutic approach is holistic and person-centered, focusing on helping clients navigate issues like self-love, communication challenges, social anxiety, trauma recovery, and personal transformation. I have extensive expertise in supporting individuals through life transitions, workplace stress, relationship complexities, and emotional healing.
I am particularly passionate about working with those with traumas, LGBTQ+ individuals, young adults, couples, addictions, and those experiencing intersectional challenges. My goal is to provide compassionate, non-judgmental support that empowers clients to develop deeper self-understanding, resilience, and meaningful life strategies.

Nathan definitely knows his stuff. He is a very good listener, has a great demeanor for a therapist and it’s very intelligent. I feel very comfortable working with him! I’ve only seen him a couple of times but so far 10 out of 10!! I plan to continue seeing him indefinitely. I’m glad we got matched! he seems to have a great understanding of my needs and we are hopefully going to figure out how to navigate my concerns and figure out how to move forward!!! Thank you better help!

Nathan is the best therapist I ever had! He helped me out of the darkest moment in my life! He was very respectful and tentative to my needs, he was always just a click away when I needed him! He is truly a life savior! I highly recommend!
