hear our story

Natalie DeTraglia is a licensed mental health counselor, certified school counselor & career counselor

“Although I began my career as a credentialed mental health counselor, I spent the first 7 years of my career working in the public school system. My goal was to be a proactive, accessible support for students and families in the community.

Teenagers are incredibly fun to work with—their energy and excitement about the future make career planning both meaningful and rewarding. They're the reason I’m here today. They trusted me to help them navigate their challenges, and through those one-on-one interactions, I discovered a deep passion for personal, individualized support. I will forever be grateful for my experience both as a school counselor and advocate for our youth; it has truly helped me become the therapist I am today.

As I transitioned into private practice part-time, I began to reflect on my own journey as a young adult—and what resources and support I wish I had in my 20s. To be quite honest, my own personal experience in therapy was not a great one and that was a major influence on my decision to primarily work with young adults who are navigating life in their 20’s.

Today, I focus on working with primarily women in their 20s and 30s who are navigating the impact of childhood trauma and the many other complexities life can bring. It’s a privilege to walk alongside them as they work toward healing.”

    Where it all began…

    I was a high school guidance counselor with a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. I didn’t have a great experience in private practice the first go around, but I didn’t want to see my hard work go to waste. And so the coffee cup mantra was born…

    Welcome to NP Life & Career Counseling!

    In January of 2023, I decided to leap back into private practice as a part time clinician and I was quickly reminded of why I entered this field in the first place. Being able to bring career counseling to the table along with a good sense of humor and hot cup of joe, things really started to take off.

    A New Chapter…

    It’s not often you get to wake up every day and say you love going to work. Sauquoit High School was supposed to be my end game, so making the decision to leave was one of the hardest career choices I’ve ever been faced with. But as my heart grew bigger for this part time gig, so did the referrals.

    Modern Counseling & Wellness Co.

    In 2016, I worked at a school for troubled youth and met one of the toughest, most strong willed & caring people I have ever crossed paths with. Taking that leap of faith into being a business owner and full time clinician was scary… but not when you have a chance to rekindle with an old friend. There is no other person than Briana that I could think of joining me on this journey, rebrand and expansion of services that is much needed in CNY.
