- Respect & Trust: Your identity, boundaries, background, and pace matter. We aim to build a caring, safe space.
- Clarity & Communication: No vagueness. We’ll keep you informed—what to expect, how long it might take, what’s possible.
- Real Progress: Therapy isn’t about placeholders. It’s about outcomes that matter to you. We combine evidence-based clinical practices with empathy.
If you’ve ever left a session thinking “this doesn’t feel like it’s me,” we want to change that.

What Our Clients Are Saying
“I feel like I’ve finally been making huge progress towards living a healthier and happier life since becoming welcomed into the Natalis Psychology group. Dr Brittany Van Buskirk has beeen hugely helpful in allowing me to take back control of my life and work towards a better future for myself. Absolutely could not be more pleased and grateful to her for all the work she’s done with and for me!”— A.S.
“I absolutely love my therapist Jamie Castner. Her knowledge of DBT and CBT skills (which are simple and practical) combined with her warmth, patience, and objectivity are instrumental to my healing process. She is proof that therapy can and does help if you take the time, do the work, and have the proper support. And while therapy does take time, going it alone may take much longer with less or no gains. I can say this because I made the mistake of trying to heal myself for many years. You are not weak for needing help, so please, get the help you need to heal and grow – it will save you years of anguish and maybe even your life. Peace.”— C.M

FAQs: Get Answers Before You Begin
How do I choose the right therapist in Minneapolis?
Start from what matters most: their specialties, your comfort with their style, your logistics (insurance/location). Our bios & matching process are designed to make that easier.
What’s the difference between a psychologist and a therapist?
Psychologists typically have doctoral degrees and might offer testing; therapists include licensed counselors or social workers focused on talk‑therapy. Both are trained professionals who can help—you decide based on your needs.
Does DBT therapy help with anxiety?
Yes. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is powerful for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness — especially when anxiety, overwhelm, or intense emotion regulation are daily challenges.
Do Natalis therapists take insurance?
Yes. Most major insurance plans are accepted. We also offer transparent payment options, and our intake team helps you understand coverage.
Can I request a specific therapist?
Absolutely. If someone’s bio speaks to you, you can ask for them. Or, use our matching process and we’ll help you find someone who aligns with your values and goals.
What happens in the first session?
We get to know you: history, hopes, fears, what’s working / what’s not. Together, you set goals and begin shaping what healing looks like for you.
