Natalie Burke(She/Her/Hers)

I'm a queer psychologist who specializes in: LGBTQ+ competent care, Eating disorders, OCD, Anxiety Disorders, Mind-body and health psychology-related concerns, ADHD assessments, full diagnostic testing, gifted and talented testing

When working with clients, I take a nonjudgmental stance and aim to embody mindfulness-based principles in therapy. I respect clients’ autonomy in the therapy process and encourage clients to identify what they want out of therapy so we can work together to reach their goals. Given that cultural context shapes all of our life experiences, I strive to understand clients’ cultural backgrounds and integrate this into the therapeutic process.

I take an integrative approach to therapy, and often draw from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based therapies, such as acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy.

I specialize in treating psychological concerns connected to the relationship between the mind and the body in adolescents, emerging adults, and adults. I provide individual therapy, and letter writing services for folks seeking gender affirming care. I also provide ADHD testing and full diagnostic assessments.

Prior to earning my PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Louisville, I received my MEd in child studies with a focus in empirical research from Vanderbilt University. I have worked in a number of settings during my clinical training that have emphasized the mind-body connection, including the Pain Management Center at University of Louisville Hospital, the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center, and an outpatient eating disorders clinic within the University of Wisconsin’s Department of Psychiatry.

I am a certified yoga teacher and practitioner of yoga, which is what sparked my interest in mindfulness-based therapies. I enjoy integrating mindfulness-based practices into therapy for clients who are interested in this as well.
