Founder and Clinical Director

Natasha Watkins, MBA, LICSW, LCSW-C

Serving Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, Founder, and Clinical Director of Your Life Onward. I serve adult clients across DC, Maryland, and Virginia through online therapy. My approach is straightforward and collaborative, combining honest exploration with practical change.

My approach

My clinical work centers on adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, trauma, stress, and self-esteem concerns. My work draws on evidence-based practices including cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, strengths-based perspectives, and more.

Education and experience

I hold an MSW from The Catholic University of America, an MBA from Marymount University, and a BBA from Howard University. I am also a Board-approved supervisor in Maryland.

Before we begin

Every new client begins with a free consultation with me, as Clinical Director, before meeting with their therapist. We will discuss your needs, clinician fit, availability, and practical questions about care.

Your Life Onward serves adult clients ages 18+. The practice participates with select insurance plans and offers private pay. Coverage, benefits, and clinician participation vary by plan.
