Hello and welcome

Natalie Sea Burger brings nearly two decades of experienced counseling services to Bozeman and greater Montana, along with her warm and connected presence. She is deeply honored to be a counselor and offers a compassionate and judgement-free space in her therapeutic counseling practice working with adolescents, adults, families and couples. Mindfulness is the foundation of her approach when tending to emotional and mental health, relationships, trauma resolution and difficult life-challenges and transitions.

About My Training and Practice Approach

With respect to her training and specializations, Natalie utilizes a client-centered stance while theorizing from a Bowen and Internal Family Systems orientation. She specializes in working with individuals who struggle with self harm, eating disorders, substance abuse, trauma, relational difficulties, infertility, depression, anxiety, bipolar, grief, life transitions, and borderline personality. In addition to her education she has received advanced training and practice in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and the treatment of trauma utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). Natalie has a passion for working with couples and helping them achieve healing, connection and intimacy. She is currently training with Stan Tactkin’s PACT Institute which is a fusion of attachment theory, developmental neuroscience, and arousal regulation. 

Natalie graduated from the University of Kentucky with a BS in Family Studies. She married and moved to Bozeman, Montana in 1997 with hopes of attending graduate school at Montana State University (MSU). Natalie worked with Adults with Developmental Disabilities at Reach Inc., and then the Gallatin Mental Health Center before starting graduate school at MSU. She graduated from MSU in the spring of 2002. She received a Masters degree in Human Development with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Counseling. Upon graduation Natalie worked as an intern at the Gallatin Mental Health Center and as a counselor for the Human Development Clinic. Upon licensure Natalie obtained full time employment at GMHC. She eventually changed course and worked for the Gallatin and Park Counties Crisis Response Team while starting her own private therapy practice in Bozeman.

Montana Virtual Therapy

We believe that the best therapy is counseling that allows you to easily engage with your licensed mental health professional. Finding a Counselor should easy, but you may live in a location where experienced counselors are difficult to find. Teletherapy is also a good fit if you are busy with work and family obligations and the convenience of sessions from your home or office just makes your life easier. We make virtual appointments simple for our clients who live in Bozeman and throughout the state of Montana using our secure HIPPA-compliant platform SimplePractice. Our therapists are trained to provide high-quality video counseling services and can treat most difficulties using virtual therapy. According to research, remote counseling sessions are just as effective for clients as in-person office visits, however, it might not be the best fit for your individual needs. Send us an email to learn more. We work with clients throughout the state of Montana

How To Find The Right Therapist For You In Bozeman Montana

It can feel overwhelming when you decide to work with a therapist. Our modern world makes finding a therapist online somewhat easier, but there are so many qualified therapists to choose from. Many people begin their therapy search using a popular website called Psychology Today because there are many search options, which makes the process somewhat more streamlined, but still challenging. You may want a counselor with certain skills or life-experience, or gender, race or religion may also play a role for you. When searching for a counselor or psychologist in Montana, it’s important to find someone who not only has the skills, experience and training to help you with your concerns, but someone with whom you feel comfortable—therapists call this a “good fit.” Finding the right therapist for you is the most important aspect of effective therapy and healing, as healing tends to happen in the context of supportive and corrective relationships. If you have been referred by a friend, colleague or physician, we will consider this as well. If we do not feel like we are a good fit for you, we will always make a referral with other experienced counselors within the community.

After you reach out, you will be sent electronic versions of our intake paperwork, which includes confidentiality, policy and insurance information to be completed prior to your first session. If you will be conducting sessions virtually or online, you will be sent a link prior to your session time. When working virtually, we use a HIPPA-compliant video conferencing platform called SimplePractice, which we think is easy and convenient to use. Early sessions will be an opportunity to get to know you better and to clarify your counseling goals. Typically sessions are weekly as this gives you the opportunity to develop a relationship with your therapist. Sometimes, if you are experiencing a personal or professional crisis, you may need to meet more frequently. Experience tells us that therapy is most effective when it is weekly and consistent. As treatment goals are met, you will have the opportunity to reevaluate your ongoing counseling needs.

Our Montana Counseling Practice Philosophy

As integrative psychotherapists, we consider all aspects of you and your experience, which includes: home, work, social, cultural, emotional, biological, relational, spiritual, and more. This is a mind-body approach to therapy and counseling. Our counseling philosophy addresses not only your symptoms, but the root cause of your difficulties so you can experience long-lasting healing. This means that we help you process thoughts, feelings and emotions and build healthier coping skills in addition to processing experiences that are held in the nervous system. Our highly-experienced counseling professionals offer a range of evidence-based and research-proven practices to help you transform anxiety, depression and emptiness into acceptance, freedom and connectedness. We work with adults of all ages, sexual orientations and cultural backgrounds, specializing in individual therapy, marriage counseling, couple counseling and family counseling.
