My first mental health job was as a Mental Health Technician in an adult inpatient facility connected to a Psychiatric Center in 1972. Next, became a group foster parent (10 foster kids at a time) in Colorado and in Kansas. During the years from 1970-1978, I was a kind of a, 'professional student' studying many diverse subjects (for fun) ultimately graduating with a bachelor's degree in psychology. During my educational career, I embraced physical fitness as a personal trainer, clinical exercise specialist and 1/2 marathon runner (15 years), a fully-certified Stott Pilates Instructor and student of Quantum physics, an evolved approach to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. During these decades, I have tended to move away from a, 'pathology' approach and toward a strengths perspective approach with a focus on holistic health. Subsequently, I worked at Topeka State Hospital, Memorial Hospital adolescent unit and The Menninger Foundation as a social worker. In 1978, I began in private practice with my late husband, Dr Ed Levy, a child psychiatrist and worked as his partner for 42 years until he passed away in 2018-42 years. After Ed passed away, I continued in our practice as a solo practitioner, LSCSW. In the fall of 2018, I began to see clients through TalkSpace as well as my private practice. For 18 years, I have also owned and taught in my Pilates studio which I moved to my home 6 years ago. I continue to teach Pilates/Yoga/Meditation over Zoom and Face Time from my at home studio. Ed and I raised a combined family of 5 children. We were blessed with 11 grandchildren and now have 8 great grand children. Ed was 17 years my senior and only met one of the great grandchildren before he went to Heaven from a pneumonia that seemed to come out of nowhere. I love animals and have 2 kitty cats whom I adore. They are my companions and my joy day to day. This wonderful balance of work and play is my dream. I always want to see how I can help.

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.
