Dr. Birman really helped me deal with a negative workplace environment. I’m so grateful for her insight. I never felt rushed, and always was able to process the advice she gave in a healthy way. She was so understanding of my life going on in the background of our counseling sessions too. I’m so grateful for Dr. Birman and would recommend her to anyone

More about Natalie
- 27 years' experience
- Female
- Psychologist
I am a clinical psychologist licensed in California and with 27 years of experience. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and families. My most extensive experience is with adolescents and adults. I have treated clients with problems ranging from anger/impulsivity, grief/loss, separation issues to depression and anxiety, trauma and self harm. For the past 5 years, I have specialized in treating adolescents. My therapeutic approach draws from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and family systems modalities.
My therapy style is warm, empathic and interactive. I strive to show my clients that I empathize with them and am able to help alleviate their suffering. I am aware that clients often feel alienated and alone in whatever they may be going through, and that the therapeutic connection is of the utmost importance.
While seeking therapy can be stressful, be assured that you are doing a good thing for yourself. I look forward to meeting you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
