Natalie Lopez-Barnard Utah EMDR Therapist

Let's work together to find the strength in the chaos, accelerating your actualization and growth. Like the A-team's Colonel John “Hannibal” Smith, I love it when a plan comes together!

She earned her undergraduate degree at Barnard College of Columbia University and her masters degree in Counseling at Northwestern University. Prior to receiving her Masters degree, Natalie Lopez-Barnard served five years of active duty in the United States Army. She was discharged honorably at the rank of Captain to pursue a career in counseling.
