Meet Natalya Flaten, LIMHP, NCC, CCTP-II, C-PD — our amazing Southwest Co-Responder! 👮♀️💙
With over 10 years in mental health and 5 years serving with the Omaha Police Department, Natalya is passionate about meeting people where they are and humanizing conversations around mental health.

✨ “I believe in holding a light for those in their darkest times and enlightening others through the power of knowledge and psychoeducation.” – Natalya

🔹 Resetting after tough calls? Regulating her nervous system & mindful reflection.
🔹 Free day? Sleeping in, big breakfast, fiancé + dogs, arts & crafts, YouTube deep-dives.
