Natalie Clerkin, LPC

Natalie Clerkin is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin who has been practicing since 2020.

Natalie specializes in treating children, adolescents and young adults with anxiety disorders and OCD. She understands the impact that anxiety can have and treats depressive symptoms, interpersonal concerns, school issues, difficulties with life transitions, and challenges with self-esteem that may be occurring, as well. She collaborates with clients, tailoring treatment to meet their goals and needs. Natalie uses Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) interventions, such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Behavioral Activation to create strengths-based goals. Particularly for younger children, she also utilizes behavior modification strategies to support children and families in creating behavioral change. When appropriate, she will work with caregivers, families, and/or schools to help support a client’s progress and long-term success. Natalie believes in the strength of therapeutic rapport, she provides empathy and warmth, and may utilize elements of humor and play, when appropriate, to build connection.

In her spare time, Natalie loves to read (especially dramas and mysteries), try out new local restaurants, explore the outdoors with her dog, and spend time with family and friends.
