Meet Natalia

Natalia Van Bilderbeek works with children ages 3–12. She uses child-centered play therapy techniques in her approach, and she is currently working toward full LPC licensure and Registered Play Therapist certification. Natalia earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Expressive Arts Therapy in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and completed the WT PACE program in Elementary Education.

Natalia’s experience includes facilitating therapeutic creative arts groups within a nonprofit organization while collaborating with interdisciplinary teams in several of Boston’s leading hospitals, including pediatric oncology units. In these settings, she supported children and caregivers as they navigated complex emotional adjustments. She also has experience supporting children and families through grief and loss, social-emotional challenges, and has taught in early childhood through elementary settings.

Her work is rooted in compassion, creativity, and developmentally attuned care, with a deep commitment to providing safe spaces for children to process, heal, and grow. Born in The Netherlands, Natalia brings a culturally attuned perspective shaped by living and traveling in many parts of the world.
