WHAT THIS ENGAGEMENT DOES

Most engagements are built around a weekly or bi-weekly session. The Retained Work is different. It is designed for situations where the pace of events does not wait for a scheduled appointment, where your attorney is asking questions that require clinical context, and where the decisions being made in the next thirty days are the ones that will matter for the next several years.

Natalie is embedded in your case. She reviews communications before they are sent. She prepares you for depositions, hearings, and difficult conversations. She coordinates with your legal team when the situation calls for it. She is accessible between sessions for the moments that cannot wait.

This is the highest level of involvement she offers. It is also the one that changes the most outcomes.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

Two people working together on a laptop in a professional setting, with a woman pointing at the screen, and a third person in the background. All are focused on the screen, with natural light coming through nearby windows.

Every component the most complex cases require.

Real-time communication review

Emails, texts, and legal correspondence reviewed before you send them. What you say in writing is evidence. It should be treated that way.

Court and deposition preparation

Preparation for hearings, depositions, and any proceeding where your conduct and communication will be evaluated by the court.

Attorney coordination

Direct collaboration with your legal team to ensure the clinical and strategic perspective is integrated into your legal approach.

Full dynamic oversight

Natalie holds the full picture of your case across six months. Patterns, escalations, decisions, and consequences tracked and addressed in real time.

"The cases that require this level of involvement are the ones where the difference between getting it right and getting it wrong is measured in years, not months."

THIS ENGAGEMENT IS FOR

The situations where the standard level of support is not enough.

Active litigation with significant financial exposure and decisions that carry long-term legal consequences

High-profile or high-net-worth divorces where the adversarial dynamic is sophisticated and the other party has significant resources

Cases where previous legal or coaching support has not produced traction and the situation continues to escalate

Situations where real-time access to expert guidance is not a preference but a requirement

A NOTE ON PLACEMENT

The Retained Work is not self-selected. It is placed at intake based on the complexity of the situation and what the case genuinely requires. If your situation calls for this level of involvement, that determination is made together in the initial consultation. If a less intensive engagement is the right fit, that is what is recommended.
