This Is Me Showing Up

Hi, I'm Natalie Decker, LMHC, Qualified Supervisor - founder of Rise Up Mental Health & Wellness Services, LLC.

I believe healing begins when someone feels truly understood. 

My work is grounded in the belief that people are not "too much," "too sensitive," or "too complicated." More often, they've just never been given language, tools, or safe space to understand their experiences. 

And once understanding begins, growth follows. 

My Approach

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating:

• Anxiety and emotional overwhelm 
• Trauma and shame
• ADHD and neurodivergent profiles
• Social communication and social pragmatics challenges
• Identity development and confidence

With extensive training in social thinking methodology, I help clients decode the unspoken rules of social interaction, strengthen emotional regulation, and build authentic confidence - not performative confidence. 

Because communication is more than words. It's awareness. It's flexibility. It's connection.

Therapy with me is structured yet compassionate. I blend research-based interventions with warmth and relational attunement. My goal is not to rush the process - it's to make it meaningful. 

What You Can Expect

Clients often tell me they feel both challenged and deeply supported in our work together. 

I create a space that is:

• Calm and grounded
• Direct but kind
• Safe without being stagnant
• Growth - oriented without pressure

We don't stay stuck in the hardest chapter. We learn what is taught us. And we move forward stronger. 

Why I Do This Work

I am passionate about helping people understand the "why" behind their behaviors and emotions. When shame decreases and insight increases, everything shifts. 

I believe:

• Big feelings deserve steady guidance.
• Neurodivergent minds deserve understanding, not correction.
• Growth is possible at any age. 

Healing doesn't require perfection. It requires courage - and support. 

Let's Begin

If you're ready to feel more confident, more regulated, and more connected in your relationships and daily life, I would be honored to walk alongside you. 

This could be your turning point. You don't have to carry what you've been carrying alone. And you don't have to stay who you were in your hardest season. 

Let's help you rise.
