About Me

Hi! I'm Natalie O'Neil, LCPC, owner and psychotherapy clinician at The Center for Empowered Living, LLC. My goals as a therapist are  to provide support, empathic listening, and insight for clients to  live healthier, and happier  lives.​

I approach all therapy from a trauma informed model as well as a nature informed model and am currently enrolled in the Level II Trauma Certificate Program with  The Ferentz Institute.​ Additionally, I am certified as a nature informed therapist through The Center for  Nature Informed Therapy.

My primary clinical focus is eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, OSFED, and body image disturbance); trauma disorders (acute and complex post-traumatic stress disorder and dissociative disorders); and mood and anxiety disorders.

As an LCPC in Maryland I am able to provide superbills for possible out of network insurance reimbursement. I am able to submit claims to the insurance companies with whom I am paneled (BCBS, Cigna and Johns Hopkins).

I have trained and studied in the mental health field for over fifteen years in different roles and levels of care. These include inpatient hospitalization programs, residential treatment centers, partial hospitalization programs and intensive outpatient programs.and a treatment foster care program. I have been employed as direct care staff as well as in management positions but my passion is my role as a therapist.

Throughout my diverse training and roles in these settings I found that I believe that most people are more similar than they are different. I want to help those struggling to navigate their lives. 

In my personal time I enjoy partaking in the antics of my cats, dogs, gerbils and quail. I equally enjoy the company of my human family and friends, going to concerts, drawing, painting, singing, dancing and anything/everything related to nature and animals.
