Nathaniel Mills, MA, AMFT
Welcome
If you are here seeking change, there is a way. If that feels impossible, there is a way. Whether hope sounds like a whisper—or you can't hear it at all—there is a way.
I'm Nathaniel, a registered associate marriage and family therapist who works at the intersection of traditional psychotherapy and movement-based practices—including surfing, yoga, and strength training—to help people cultivate the insight, resilience and agency to create lasting change.
While these approaches complement one another, they serve different purposes. As a psychotherapist, I work relationally with clients to explore how past experiences—and the stories they’ve come to tell about themselves—have shaped their emotional, psychological, and physical lives. Together, we create space to understand those patterns, relate to them differently, and choose a new way forward.
Coaching and movement-based practices focus on building new ways of inhabiting your body and engaging your life. Whether through yoga, strength training, or surfing, these practices help to cultivate resilience, endurance and confidence, through a lived experience that supports lasting psychological change.
Although the paths are different, they share a common thread: a stronger, cultivating a stronger, more empowered relationship with yourself — and a life you feel excited about living
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with clouding self-doubt and depression, navigating a major life transition, or simply looking to deepen the practices you already have, I'll meet you where you exactly where you are.
Because exactly where you are is a great place to start.
My hope isn’t simply to help you feel better—it’s to help you become more fully yourself. To develop a relationship with your mind, body, and self that allows you to meet life with greater freedom, resilience, and authenticity. If that sounds like the work you’re looking for, it would be an honor to walk right alongside you!
