Your vision will become clear only when you look inside your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
- Carl Jung
Welcome…
All too often we focus on the pain we feel in our bodies but we do not pay enough attention to the pain we may be carrying around with us, every day, in our minds or in our hearts. Mental health is an incredibly important area of our lives that we must take seriously because it can affect us in many different ways.
At Bridge to Harmony Counseling I will work with you to help uncover whatever is underneath that may be troubling you, or simply give you a safe space to talk with empathy and compassion.
About Me…
My name is Natasha Bridgelal and I’m a counseling psychologist. I was born and raised in New York City and have lived in the Netherlands since 2014.
I believe there are many factors involved in determining who we become, the partners, friends, and careers we choose and, most importantly, how we feel daily. Finding someone you trust can help you along the journey of self-discovery to eventually experience harmony in your life.
I have worked in several fields throughout my career so I understand the complexities of navigating within the corporate and non-profit worlds. Living as an expat in a foreign country has also given me a unique perspective and firsthand knowledge of what it feels like to be away from everything you know and hold close to your heart.
As a therapist some conditions I have treated include personality disorders, anxiety, depression, panic disorders, eating disorders, sexual abuse, childhood trauma, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, PTSD, and relationship issues. Therapy will always be based on a collaborative approach focusing on whatever works best for your current needs.
Please feel free to email me to discuss how we can work together, because you are not alone.
I look forward to hearing from you.
