Natalie Moser, Ph.D.

            Natalie L. Moser, Ph.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist in the State of Michigan (State License) trained in child clinical and pediatric psychological services.  She obtained doctorate and masters degrees in clinical psychology from the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware. 

           

            Dr. Moser completed a predoctoral internship in child clinical and pediatric psychology at the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Deleware.  During this internship, Dr. Moser began to specialize in the assessment and treatment of children with chronic medical illnesses, as well as children who experience pain and medical symptoms with no medical etiologies.

 

            Following completion of her doctoral degree, Dr. Moser received further specialized training as a postdoctoral fellow in child clinical and pediatric psychology at The Brown Psychology Training Consortium in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University.  Dr. Moser worked in the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology at Hasbro Children’s Hospital, where she focused her practice and research on the psychological treatment of children with gastroenterology symptoms.  During this fellowship, Dr. Moser also received training at a nationally renowned center for childhood anxiety disorders.

 

            In addition to serving clients in private practice in East Lansing, Michigan, Dr. Moser enjoys teaching and training.  She currently holds an adjunct professor position in the Department of Psychology at Michigan State University, where she teaches undergraduate psychology courses and provides supervision to clinical psychology doctoral students.  She holds membership in professional organizations including the American Psychological Association, the Michigan Psychological Association, the Association of Behavior and Cognitive Therapies, the Society for Research on Child Development, and the Society of Pediatric Psychology.

 

            Based on her diverse training background, Dr. Moser welcomes children, adolescents, and families into her practice with a broad range of presenting problems.  In her treatment of children, Dr. Moser adheres to evidence-based practice approaches, or those therapies found effective through research.  Dr. Moser carefully tailors her treatment approach to each individual child and family, typically combining techniques from cognitive-behavioral and family systems therapy.  Given her graduate research in the areas of adolescent attachment relationships, family processes, and child psychopathology, Dr. Moser maintains an active interest in interpersonal relationships, often incorporating this into psychotherapy as well.  Dr. Moser views collaborative involvement with family members, schools, other health-care providers, and community agencies as vital to the psychotherapy process.  Dr. Moser generally ascribes to the belief that for many problems, psychotherapy can be short-term and problem-focused.  However, there are patients that require and benefit from long-term, supportive therapy, and Dr. Moser will work with the family to create an agreed upon treatment plan including a time-line and goals that best suit the family’s needs.
