Dr. Natalie Atwell brings more than 20 years of experience in mental health, counseling, teaching, and ministry, with a deep commitment to finding biblical answers for some of life’s most difficult mental and emotional struggles. She is a practice owner, clinical director, educator, and international ministry leader, who also serves on a local Human Trafficking Task Force. She’s been involved with international ministry work, including suicide prevention efforts in the Philippines.

One of the things that makes her particularly interesting for us here on Canary Cry Radio, is how she incorporates the late Dr. Michael Heiser’s Divine Council worldview into her broader understanding of biblical counseling, spiritual realities, and mental health.

There is a lot to unpack in this conversation of how Scripture speaks into psychology, theology, spiritual warfare, and healing!
