Meet Natasha
I'm Natasha Wippel, the founder of Partnered Paths Therapy and a Licensed Married and Family Therapist in Michigan and North Carolina. Partnered Paths Therapy opened in NC in 2016 and expanded to Michigan in 2021, continuing a commitment to supporting clients through their healing journey.
I specialize in helping couples and individuals take bold, hopeful steps forward - whether that means repairing a relationship, navigating transitions, or creating new patterns of connection and meaning.
​
When I am not working, I enjoy cooking, hiking, yoga, golf, and traveling with family and friends.
My Approach
My style is collaborative, direct, and compassionate. I believe therapy is most it balances connection with practical tools. I use a trauma-informed attachment-focused lens to help you understand patterns and practice new ways of relating that actually work in your daily life.
For couples, that often means slowing down conflict, making space for both partners' voices, and practicing new ways of connecting. For individuals, it's about understanding patterns, building self-trust, and creating steady change.
Experience and Training
Before becoming a therapist, I began my career in education, where I discovered how much I loved supporting people at a deeper level. I returned to graduate school to pursue therapy and have since trained extensively in evidence-based models for couples, individuals, and trauma.
