Natalie (Samuels) Seitz, MSW, LCSW
EMDR Trained, ERP Certified, ADHD CCSP
Owner and Founder, Blue Willow Counseling Center, LLC
Providing Outpatient Telehealth Counseling for Individual Adults

I specialize in helping adults (18 years and older) discover their resiliency and find peace in their everyday lives. I work with those affected by anxiety, depression, trauma, and OCD, as well as issues including life changes, perfectionism, and self-esteem. As an ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider, I also work with women diagnosed with ADHD, especially those diagnosed later in adulthood or those who are curious if they could have ADHD.

My focus is on providing individual therapy, and I like to use an eclectic approach that's tailored to each individual client. I am trained in the following evidence-based treatment modalities:

EMDR Trained for trauma and PTSD
ERP Certified for OCD
ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider (CCSP)
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
Motivational Interviewing

I am a Member of the National Association of Social Workers and was previously a State-Wide Trainer for Youth Mental Health First Aid for the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention, as well as a past volunteer for the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Indiana, which is one of several paths professionals can take to become outpatient mental health therapists. Because I am licensed in the State of Indiana and provide online telehealth services, I can see anyone who currently lives within Indiana lines.

I have more than 15 years of experience working in the mental health field at various levels of care, including community mental health, youth residential treatment, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and school-based social work. Nine of those years were spent in outpatient counseling. I also love working with creative people and have experience assisting an Art Therapist blending the creative process with traditional talk therapy.

1.

Intake (First) Therapy Session
(60 mins)

For our first session together, we have a full 60 minutes to talk about you. What would you like to get out of your time here? Where would you like to be? Near the end of our session together, we'll discuss different therapy modalities and what feels like the best fit to help you reach your goals.

Note: This does not include free 15-minute consultations! Fill out the form below to learn more.

2.

Individual Therapy Sessions
(45-50 mins)

After we complete our intake session together, we set out on our journey towards meeting the goals we came up with together, one 45-50 minute session at a time. Each session allows time to talk through your priorities and target what changes you would like to experience. All of this is backed by data-driven, evidence-based practice in a safe and calming environment.

3.

EMDR Therapy Sessions
(90 mins)

These 90-minute sessions allow for more processing time with Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (or E.M.D.R.) Therapy. EMDR Therapy is an evidence-based practice for those who have experienced trauma, and it helps people let go of the negative beliefs people hold about ourselves.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

You ask, I answer.

Our first session together would be 60 minutes long and would be $165. This would allow us plenty of time to talk about reasons for counseling, hear your story, and create a plan for best future treatment options.

Subsequent session are typically 45-50 minutes long and are $140.

Note: EMDR, a type of therapy recommended for some clients, is best completed in occasional 90-minute sessions, which are $210.

In terms of payment for services, I am out-of-network with all insurances. I do this because I am a solo practitioner and there is a considerable amount of time required to process insurance paperwork. I want to focus 100% of my work time on providing you with the highest quality of care.

However, I can provide you with a detailed receipt (or “Superbill”) that you can submit to your insurance company yourself for out-of-network reimbursement if you so choose; many companies reimburse a certain percentage directly to you for out-of-network counseling. To find out what your insurance company reimburses for out-of-network counseling, you can call the customer service phone number on the back of your insurance card and ask, "What do you reimburse for out-of-network outpatient mental health counseling?"

So, what that would look like should you choose to see me? You would pay in full at the time of our counseling appointment. I accept HSA/FSA cards or any major credit card. Then, if you so choose, you can submit your receipts to your insurance company yourself for reimbursement from them directly to you.

This varies greatly from person to person. My usual rule of thumb is to start with 12 sessions, at which point you may feel you have met your goals or decide you have further work you'd like to do together. For those who have experienced trauma or may experience Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, you might find that you'd like to complete more sessions to get to where you want to be.

How often we meet varies as well. To start, I often recommend meeting once a week, or at least every other week, to get faster symptom relief.

We can talk further regarding these questions at our intake session to determine the best plan for you.

While I understand that paying out of pocket for therapy services can be expensive, providing a high quality of care for you is my priority; therefore, I do not accept insurance directly at this time. I do try to keep my rates comparable to or less than others in the community.

If my services are not the right fit for you, I am also happy to help provide referral information and coordinate transition to services to a local provider who accepts insurance directly. Whomever you seek care with, your quality of care is what is most important to me!

Imperfections are not inadequacies;

they are reminders that we're all in this together.
