Today we’d like to introduce you to Natalie Andrews.
Hi Natalie, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I knew from a young age that I wanted to be a therapist, and in 2016 I became licensed in Ohio as a Marriage and Family Therapist. After working in community mental health programs and a group practice, I opened my own private practice in 2022. I made the leap to being my own boss so I could continue doing the job I love so much, but with a little better work-life balance. 2025 was a huge year for my business- I rebranded to Integrated Hearts Therapy Center and added a phenomenal contract therapist to my team. I am so excited to see what this next year has in store for me!
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Even though I basically always knew I wanted to be a therapist, this hasn’t always been the smoothest road. There are relatively few Marriage and Family Therapists in Ohio, so finding quality and affordable mentorship was difficult. I have been very lucky, however, to connect with some amazing MFTs in our area. I also faced some imposter syndrome when I was thinking about opening my own practice. I didn’t ever think I wanted to be my own boss, and had a lot to learn about running a business, but with great family and friend support, I’ve been able to face that imposter syndrome and thrive!
We’ve been impressed with Integrated Hearts Therapy Center, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Integrated Hearts is a private practice specializing in Relationship and Perinatal therapy. We are clinicians who truly believe in the power of connection and relationships. We take our training seriously and are life-long learners.
I am so proud of the passion and enthusiasm of our small team. We care deeply about our clients and want them to thrive in all stages of their lives.
Our motto is: Helping You Find Harmony. Whether you want to find that harmony within yourself or within your relationship, we are here to walk beside you on that journey.
We provide therapy for individuals and couples. We also offer specialized workshops and will be offering intensives for premarital couples and perinatal (pregnant and postpartum) couples in this next year.
Do you have any advice for those looking to network or find a mentor?
Networking is all about building trusted relationships. I try to focus on quality, not quantity, of those relationships. I want business partners and colleagues to truly know what my brand and I stand for. I find that when we have that trust, we can best support each other.
