About Nate Sawyer
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
The relationship you form with a counselor can help move you to making the changes you desire in life. Maybe you feel stuck or are facing some challenges with an important relationship? I focus on helping people expand and strengthen their resources by establishing clear goals for personal growth. I strive to help people feel comfortable, welcome, and safe in therapy and use creative strategies to help unlock their potential. I enjoy working with couples and families to learn new strategies to communicate their feelings with each other leading to improved relationships.
I facilitate clients reaching their goals by creating an open and welcoming atmosphere that allows people to feel comfortable yet challenged. In therapy I practices with an integrative style using Solution Focused and Experiential Therapy techniques as well as Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy. I offer teletherapy or video counseling as an option as well.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, my training is in helping people navigate their relationships, since our relationships are one of the most influential factors in our lives. As a father of three, married for fourteen years, I have some personal experience in how amazing and challenging relationships can be. Please email me to set up appointment.
