About Natalie Sea Burger | In-person Counseling & Virtual Counseling, Therapy & Couple Enhancement Workshops

t. 406-570-0345

Natalie Sea Burger is deeply honored to be a counselor in Bozeman, Montana, and offers a compassionate and judgment-free space in her therapeutic counseling practice working with adolescents, adults, families, and couples. Natalie brings nearly two decades of experienced counseling services to Bozeman and greater Montana, along with her warm and connected presence. Mindfulness is the foundation of her approach when tending to emotional and mental health, relationships, trauma resolution, and difficult life challenges and transitions.

Natalie Sea Burger integrates her training from the PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy) Institute into her relationship counseling to help couples achieve lasting transformation and emotional intimacy. PACT therapy is a cutting-edge model that blends attachment theory, neuroscience, and developmental psychology, focusing on how early life experiences shape the ways we connect and communicate in relationships.

By using PACT principles, Natalie helps couples better understand their unconscious emotional patterns and triggers, and how these affect their relationship dynamics. This approach equips couples with tools to create secure emotional connections, improve communication, regulate emotions, and meet each partner’s needs. She uses PACT’s emphasis on attunement and responsiveness, helping partners deepen their emotional bond and resolve conflict in ways that promote healing and growth.

Natalie’s integration of PACT techniques empowers couples to move past recurring conflicts and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Through a combination of individualized strategies and a focus on the brain’s role in relationship dynamics, her clients can achieve greater trust, empathy, and satisfaction in their partnerships.

About My Training and Practice Approach

Natalie has advanced training and utilizes a client-centered stance while drawing from Bowen Theory and Internal Family Systems (IFS). She specializes in supporting individuals dealing with self-harm, eating disorders, substance abuse, trauma, relationship challenges, infertility, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, grief, life transitions, and borderline personality disorder.

She has also received training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and is skilled in treating trauma with Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). Natalie’s passion lies in couples therapy, where she helps partners achieve healing, connection, and intimacy. Her current studies with the Stan Tatkin PACT Institute support her expertise in integrating attachment theory, developmental neuroscience, and arousal regulation into her work.

Natalie earned her BS in Family Studies from the University of Kentucky, and relocated to Bozeman, Montana, in 1997. She worked with Reach Inc., the Gallatin Mental Health Center, and completed her graduate studies at Montana State University, earning a Master's degree in Human Development with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Counseling. She then worked at GMHC and on the Crisis Response Team, while developing her private therapy practice in Bozeman.

Montana Virtual Therapy

We believe that the best therapy is counseling that allows you to easily engage with your licensed mental health professional. Finding a Counselor should easy, but you may live in a location where experienced counselors are difficult to find. Teletherapy is also a good fit if you are busy with work and family obligations and the convenience of sessions from your home or office just makes your life easier. We make virtual appointments simple for our clients who live in Bozeman and throughout the state of Montana using our secure HIPPA-compliant platform SimplePractice. Our therapists are trained to provide high-quality video counseling services and can treat most difficulties using virtual therapy. According to research, remote counseling sessions are just as effective for clients as in-person office visits, however, it might not be the best fit for your individual needs. Send us an email to learn more. We work with clients throughout the state of Montana

How To Find The Right Therapist For You In Bozeman Montana

It can feel overwhelming when you decide to work with a therapist. Our modern world makes finding a therapist online somewhat easier, but there are so many qualified therapists to choose from. Many people begin their therapy search using a popular website called Psychology Today because there are many search options, which makes the process somewhat more streamlined, but still challenging. You may want a counselor with certain skills or life-experience, or gender, race or religion may also play a role for you. When searching for a counselor or psychologist in Montana, it’s important to find someone who not only has the skills, experience and training to help you with your concerns, but someone with whom you feel comfortable—therapists call this a “good fit.” Finding the right therapist for you is the most important aspect of effective therapy and healing, as healing tends to happen in the context of supportive and corrective relationships. If you have been referred by a friend, colleague or physician, we will consider this as well. If we do not feel like we are a good fit for you, we will always make a referral with other experienced counselors within the community.

After you reach out, you will be sent electronic versions of our intake paperwork, which includes confidentiality, policy and insurance information to be completed prior to your first session. If you will be conducting sessions virtually or online, you will be sent a link prior to your session time. When working virtually, we use a HIPPA-compliant video conferencing platform called SimplePractice, which we think is easy and convenient to use. Early sessions will be an opportunity to get to know you better and to clarify your counseling goals. Typically sessions are weekly as this gives you the opportunity to develop a relationship with your therapist. Sometimes, if you are experiencing a personal or professional crisis, you may need to meet more frequently. Experience tells us that therapy is most effective when it is weekly and consistent. As treatment goals are met, you will have the opportunity to reevaluate your ongoing counseling needs.

Our Montana Counseling Practice Philosophy

As integrative psychotherapists, we consider all aspects of you and your experience, which includes: home, work, social, cultural, emotional, biological, relational, spiritual, and more. This is a mind-body approach to therapy and counseling. Our counseling philosophy addresses not only your symptoms, but the root cause of your difficulties so you can experience long-lasting healing. This means that we help you process thoughts, feelings and emotions and build healthier coping skills in addition to processing experiences that are held in the nervous system. Our highly-experienced counseling professionals offer a range of evidence-based and research-proven practices to help you transform anxiety, depression and emptiness into acceptance, freedom and connectedness. We work with adults of all ages, sexual orientations and cultural backgrounds, specializing in individual therapy, marriage counseling, couple counseling and family counseling.
