Natalie Levin - Saada, MA, LMHC
I’m a licensed therapist based in Manhattan, providing virtual therapy for mothers across New York and New Jersey.
In my work, I support women navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, and the emotional demands of balancing work, relationships, and family life. I focus on motherhood in particular, including postpartum adjustment, the mental load mothers carry, and the identity shifts that come with this stage of life.
I’m especially drawn to the experience of motherhood because it holds significant change — in your identity, your relationships, and how you experience yourself day to day. As both a therapist and a mother, I understand how easy it is to feel stretched thin while still trying to hold everything together. While this stage can feel overwhelming, I also believe it can be deeply meaningful. My role is to help you stay connected to yourself so you can move through it with more clarity, steadiness, and intention.
My approach is thoughtful and grounded in both clinical training and real-world professional experience. Before becoming a therapist, I obtained a Master’s degree in Organizational Psychology at Columbia University and I worked in Human Resources, which gives me a strong understanding of high-performing environments, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the pressure many women carry both professionally and personally. I later completed a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at Baruch College and worked in a group practice supporting clients with a wide range of concerns. My work at the group practice continues to inform how I support women navigating stress, anxiety, depression, OCD and complex life transitions.
I integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). My work blends insight with practical tools, helping you understand your patterns while also creating meaningful, lasting change.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can briefly connect, talk through what you’re looking for, and see if it feels like a good fit. I invite you to schedule a consultation below.
