Natalie Wisdom, MSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

“I create therapeutic spaces rooted in trust, empathy, and cultural understanding, especially for LGBTQ+ individuals, trauma survivors, and those navigating major life transitions. I provide high-quality, culturally responsive therapy, life coaching, and clinical supervision that centers real-world understanding so every person feels seen, supported, and empowered.”

About Me

Hi, I'm Natalie. I’m a licensed clinical social worker and founder of Divine Resilience Psychotherapy in Hamden, CT and Pieces of Wisdom Psychotherapy in Brooklyn, NY. I built both practices on a shared mission: to meet the mental health needs of those who have often felt unseen in traditional therapy spaces. I started this work because I know what it’s like to feel invisible in the therapy room. My first therapist was kind, but she didn’t understand my experience as a Black woman. I left feeling disconnected and unheard, and I knew I wasn’t alone. That experience inspired me to create something different: mental health care built on cultural understanding, representation, and real human connection. Spaces where people like me can feel safe, valued, and fully supported, just as they are. Whether I’m working with clients, mentoring early-career clinicians, or speaking on a panel, my goal is the same: to help you tap into your own strength, build resilience, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and connection.

Approach

With over 18 years of experience, my approach is rooted in empathy, cultural understanding, and the belief that you are the expert of your own life. I lead with a heart for healing, blending clinical skill with lived experience to create a safe, non-judgmental space where we can address your social, emotional, and behavioral needs. My goal is to help you build resilience and foster meaningful, lasting change. I’m honored to walk alongside you.
