New Day Counseling

Hi, I'm Natalie Burkhalter. I believe every person has strengths, resilience, and the capacity for growth, even when life feels overwhelming. I earned my Master's degree in Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family from MidAmerica Nazarene University in Olathe, Kansas, in 2022 and completed my Play Therapy Certification through MidAmerica Nazarene University in 2023. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in both Missouri and Oklahoma, trained in EMDR therapy, and have experience helping children, teens, adults, and couples navigate a variety of life's challenges. My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported as they work toward meaningful change. Together, we'll identify strengths, build healthy coping skills, process difficult experiences, and develop tools that can help you move forward with confidence. For clients who desire it, I enjoy incorporating Christian faith and biblical principles into the counseling process. I believe healing involves the whole person (mind, body, and spirit) and I seek to honor each client's values and beliefs throughout our work together. One of my core beliefs is that you don't have to wait until things get worse to seek support. Counseling can be a place for healing, growth, self-discovery, and encouragement at any stage of life. Whether you're navigating a difficult season or simply looking for a safe place to process your thoughts and experiences, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Outside of the counseling office, you'll often find me spending time with my husband and our dog, trying a new coffee shop, exploring local restaurants, enjoying time at the lake, or hunting for treasures at thrift stores and flea markets. Originally from Kansas City, Missouri, I am grateful to now call the Miami, Oklahoma area home and look forward to serving individuals and families throughout Missouri and Oklahoma.
