About Me

Hi, I’m Nathaniel W. Lutz, LCPC, and founder of Harbor of Hope Counseling.

For over six years, I’ve worked as a licensed clinical professional counselor. My niche is supporting men as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life’s pressures. I also work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families facing a wide range of mental health challenges. My experience spans children’s crisis stabilization, outpatient therapy, school-based services, and private practice—all centered on providing compassionate, individualized care.

My approach to therapy is rooted in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Strength-Based techniques. I integrate other therapeutic methods, like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Psychodynamic Therapy, tailoring each session to your unique story, goals, and challenges. With empathy, curiosity, and even a little humor, I walk alongside you in this healing journey.

I believe healing happens in safe, collaborative spaces. My role is to support—not lead or judge—as you explore, grow, and reconnect with your strength and sense of self.

Whether you’re reaching out for yourself, your child, or your family, I’m here to offer meaningful support, practical tools, and hope. Therapy isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about having a place to begin.

Beyond Therapy

I believe therapy is more than just techniques and treatment plans — it’s about connection, trust, and understanding. Outside of counseling, I enjoy going to the ocean, watching television and movies, swimming, holiday DIYs, and spending time with my family, which help me stay grounded and empathetic. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental because I know that healing looks different for everyone. When you work with me, you’ll find a compassionate provider who truly cares about your journey and your growth.
