Dr. Natalia Yangarber-Hicks

Licensed Clinical Psychologist

Training and Experience

During my PhD training in clinical psychology, I worked in various settings including university counseling centers, community mental health clinics, and hospitals. Since graduating with my PhD, I have worked in a group private practice in the western suburbs of Chicago, along with holding an academic position at Wheaton College.

Through these training and work experiences, I emerged with an appreciation for the complexity and diversity of psychological suffering and human resilience. I have also grown skeptical of simplistic approaches to treatment that promise quick fix solutions to longstanding problems. I am deeply convinced that lasting growth and change often takes time and financial investment but that the benefits of this investment are almost always worthwhile.
