Natalie Jovanic, Master Therapeutic Counsellor, Counselling Therapist

I appreciate you stopping by my profile. Here’s an overview of what I can offer you: I offer trauma-informed counseling and coaching grounded in social justice, specializing in trauma and loss, with over 14 years of experience supporting clients through healing. Many of my clients have experienced childhood abuse, relational trauma, systemic trauma, or significant loss. Clients often come to me feeling shut down, disconnected from life, or overwhelmed by emotions that seem to control them. They may also feel drained, exhausted, and struggle with identifying their boundaries and needs. Many feel stuck in negative patterns and unsure how to break free. While not all of my clients have experienced trauma, my trauma-informed approach recognizes the deep and complex impact trauma and other painful experiences can have on your mind, body, and relationships. I understand that healing requires patience, safety, and gentleness. My approach integrates evidence-based modalities such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and parts work therapy to support your healing process. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing helps you gently process and reframe traumatic memories, while parts work therapy allows you to connect with and communicate with the different parts of yourself that hold various feelings and experiences. Additionally, I incorporate anti-oppressive practices, enabling me to provide inclusive and welcoming services to people from diverse backgrounds. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your story at your own pace. I honor your unique experience and work collaboratively with you to build resilience, self-compassion, and greater emotional well-being. Together, we work toward helping you feel more grounded and empowered in your life. I believe healing from trauma involves reconnecting with your body, emotions, and inner wisdom. Through our collaboration, I support you in developing practical tools for managing distress, setting healthy boundaries, and cultivating more agency and well-being. I recognize that healing is a nonlinear journey, and I am here to walk alongside you through the challenges and breakthroughs with patience and flexibility. I warmly invite you to reach out and book a free consultation when you’re ready to begin, or deepen, your healing journey in a way that feels empowering and uniquely tailored to your needs.

I offer all my services online and in person, working with clients in Calgary, Canada, and internationally. To keep my services accessible, I have a variable pricing scheme. I am passionate about promoting trauma recovery. That’s why I created the podcast Trauma Demystified — a place to learn more about trauma and healing. You can find it on any major podcast directory. If you want to tune your skills to recognize and manage toxic relationships, I offer a free ebook, Toxic Relationships 101. You can download it anytime from my website.
