Embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation

Nathaniel Flatt, LMFT

start your journey

For many years, I’ve been no stranger to the therapist’s couch. I first sought the counsel of a professional therapist to help confront unresolved childhood struggles and persistently strained relationships as an adult. Growing up gay in a small, deeply religious Southern town, I realized early that society had “otherized” me for simply being myself. While those around me steadfastly clung to these oppressive systems and non-sensical social structures, I felt compelled (but not always courageous) enough to reject them.


Hi, I'm Nathaniel 

That sense of curiosity and rebellion inspired an early career in the performing arts and a second career as an entrepreneur, having Co-Founded a successful LA-based beauty brand. But despite those successes, I still yearned for a stronger identity and purpose. The process of self-interrogation led me to a Masters Degree program in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University, where I started to develop a deeper sense of self, alongside a heightened empathy for the world at large, and later receiving a certificate in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), and The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS).

“WHO LOOKS OUTSIDE, DREAMS; WHO LOOKS INSIDE, AWAKES.”

I believe in the healing power of a therapeutic relationship. In a safe and accepting space, our relationship becomes a catalyst for growth and transformation. Together, we foster a deep connection and trust that enhances the therapeutic process, allowing you to explore and heal with authenticity and vulnerability.

We offer a wide range of therapy services to support your unique needs:

  • Individual Therapy: One-on-one sessions tailored to your specific challenges and goals.
  • Couples Therapy: Strengthen your relationship, improve communication, and deepen your connection.
  • EMDR: A method to help process traumatic memories. EMDR's goal is to help you heal from distressing life experiences.
  • Group Therapy: Find support, share experiences, and learn from others facing similar challenges.
  • Psychedelic Assisted Therapy: KAP (Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy) combines the power of ketamine medication and therapeutic support for profound healing and personal growth.

Therapy Services

  • Depression-Through its capacity to modify neural pathways in the brain, ketamine, when integrated with therapy, has the potential to transform persistent depressive thought patterns.

  • Anxiety- It can help alleviate symptoms of anxiety by modulating certain brain receptors and neurotransmitters, leading to a reduction in anxiety levels and promoting a sense of calmness.

  • PTSD- It provides a safer and more confident approach to revisiting past traumas, facilitating the processing of emotions and the healing of these experiences while under the gaze of a professional.

What does Kap treat?

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) takes a holistic approach, addressing symptoms, negative thought patterns, lifestyle factors, trauma, coping skills, and brain chemistry for effective healing. Combining ketamine and therapy shows evidence of longer-lasting improvements in depression severity. KAP accelerates the therapeutic process, leading to transformative results in weeks rather than years. Experience emotional growth and enhanced well-being through the introspective nature of KAP. 

Going beyond symptom management. It allows you to delve into the root causes of your challenges, promoting healing. By opening the door to psychedelic exploration, ketamine enables objective reflection on past events, experiences, and traumas. Combined with talk therapy, this process facilitates processing, understanding, and emotional release.

My goal as a therapist is to be your guide on the transformative journey back to yourself. Through our collaborative work, we'll explore your inner life, untangle limiting patterns and beliefs, and cultivate a mind-body connection. In this more present, embodied space, life's challenges become opportunities for growth and transformation. Together, we'll sow the seeds for a new vision of your life.

My approach is multidisciplinary, incorporating Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and psychodynamic principles. This provides a holistic framework for your self-discovery journey. I believe in a personalized and collaborative therapeutic experience where your lived experience holds significant importance. I am here to guide you on your path to healing.

In my work I discovered I felt most connected to the emotional and mental aspect of art—how does music, and other art forms, make us feel and heal? Psychotherapy allows me to blend creativity and an innate interest in the healing of others.

My approach to therapy is person-centered and strengths-based, meaning that I believe in empowering my clients to utilize their unique strengths and skills to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. I also believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change, regardless of their past experiences. Using psychodynamic, relational, and dialectical behavioral approaches, I work with clients seeking to enrich their lives with a higher sense of satisfaction.

I work with folks grappling with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. I specialize in serving LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, offering particular support for those recovering from religious trauma and conversion therapy. I also support those looking to understand and integrate psychedelic and other extra-ordinary experiences.

I provide relationship therapy for couples and polycules, rooted in a sex-positive, poly-affirming frame. Operating from the vibrant Bay Area, I extend my services across California via telehealth. If you're considering embarking on this journey together, I'd be delighted to arrange a complimentary consultation to explore our potential collaboration.

Building a strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of what I do; I see our work together as a partnership where we build trust and work side-by-side toward your growth and well-being.
