Dr. Nathan Lenet
It is a sacred honor to accompany people on their journey of exploration and growth in therapy.
Nathan is a clinical psychologist who understands how painful it can be to feel misunderstood and stuck in cycles that you can’t seem to break out of. He works with couples, individuals, and families to identify patterns that aren’t working and find pathways toward growth, connection, and change. Nathan enjoys working with couples at every stage of their journey- from navigating challenges in dating, to preparing for marriage, to rekindling connection in a long term partnership.
Drawing from his background in family therapy, he particularly enjoys working with couples with children. Nathan specializes in helping couples and individuals navigate their dual roles as both partners and parents. Being a parent can put significant strain on a relationship, often impacting intimacy and communication. Nathan works with couples to set intentions, boundaries, and goals in service of maintaining closeness while dealing with the stress of parenting. He recognizes that it can be difficult to balance the needs of the self, the partner, and the child, and he provides a space to explore this delicate balance.
Nathan also has a passion for helping couples in which one or both partners have ADHD. This common but frequently misunderstood diagnosis can present a wide range of challenges in relationships. By addressing difficulties in executive functioning, developing effective strategies to manage and communicate about symptoms, and providing education about adult ADHD, Nathan helps empower couples to overcome these challenges.
Mindfulness is woven throughout Nathan’s work, offering meditations and tools to slow down and respond with greater self-compassion and emotional awareness. Through these practices, Nathan helps people self-regulate and stay grounded in the present, fostering deeper connection to their physical and emotional experiences. It is in these moments of feeling truly present with each other that communication and connection flourish.
Therapy with Nathan is collaborative, warm, and grounded in respect for your unique story. He brings a compassionate, calming presence, and encourages clients to find their authentic voice, allowing for honest communication and increased intimacy. His goal is to help people feel safe enough to be vulnerable, courageous enough to grow, and supported enough to build the kind of relationships they long for.
