Natalie Hung, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist

My clinical practice—honed over 15 years of experience and training—weaves together trauma-informed, Internal Family Systems, relational, decolonial, and animist perspectives. Using these frameworks, I view each person as a unique soul seeking expression, purpose, reconnection, and liberation from the echoes of personal, intergenerational, cultural, and historical wounds.

We begin with the assumption that you are a multiplicitous, sacred, and inherently valuable human being. You already have everything you need to heal, and our relationship can affirm and enhance that capacity.

As a deeply attuned companion through your psychic and social landscapes, I bring my own humanity into connection with yours so that we can have vivid, safe, real, and impactful encounters. My style has been described as warm, relatable, playful, insightful, clear, and boundaried. I’m committed to ongoing learning and my own healing in order to be present and available for my clients.

Often, people come to therapy in the midst of a crisis, finding themselves unable to continue with the status quo, afraid of change, and overrun with internal chaos and pain. With steady and compassionate witnessing, you may learn over time that old patterns, coping strategies, and self-limiting beliefs have outlived their usefulness, and can eventually allow yourself to release the pain buried within. This process can free up vital energy, allowing you to embody more ease, compassion, confidence, creativity, vibrancy, and trust. Our work can help restore your dignity and belonging, increase inner harmony, rewrite the major narratives of your life, and allow your truer selves to emerge.

My approach can address a wide range of concerns, including complex PTSD, dissociation, depression, anxiety, rumination, perfectionism, people-pleasing (fawning), self-criticism, addiction, chronic shame, and strong swings of emotion. I’m particularly well suited for people who have experienced past therapies of limited usefulness, and are seeking a more complete, non-pathologizing, and empowering approach.

I am licensed in Maryland and New York and practice remotely via teletherapy only.
