Natalie Thomas

With over 17 years of experience as a licensed mental health practitioner and 22 years as a social worker, I bring a wealth of expertise to Thought LAB Therapy, my private practice dedicated to delivering person-centered mental health therapy in Louisiana and Virginia. Specializing in addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, and trauma, my approach is rooted in meeting individuals where they are while acknowledging the significance of their life journey.
As a Black therapist, I am attuned to the challenges surrounding mental health care in our community, recognizing the prevalent stigma that often accompanies these discussions. My extensive experience allows me to navigate the intricate intersections of culture and mental health, understanding how cultural nuances impact both the experience of mental health and its treatment.
I am devoted to creating an affirming, safe, and supportive space for individuals from diverse backgrounds, particularly those within the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. Having encountered individuals who may have had prior treatment experiences which were less than ideal, I am committed to tailoring my approach to ensure a positive therapeutic alliance.
