Hello, I am Miss Nancy. I am a LMSW, CAS (certified autism specialist), and an RPT (registered play therapist) in the Michigan with 15 years experience working as a mental health clinician. I worked at a local Community Mental Health Agency for 8 years in the Outpatient, ACT Team, and Clinical Case Management settings. I have worked with a variety of clients as young as 3 years old to 80 years old with a wide variety of concerns. Many younger clients concerns included anxiety, depression, ADHD, ADD, school problems, traumas, emotional de-regulation, grief and loss of loved ones, and low self esteem. The older clients I have treated have encountered grief & loss of loved ones due to COVID or age, depression, anxiety, changes in life due to mental and physical concerns, low self esteem, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, OCD, care giving issues of parents, physical and emotional traumas.
Miss Nancy's therapy style is warm, interactive, and faith based for those willing to discuss their faith. I believe inn treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion no matter what age. I believe in treating the person as a whole without the stigmatizing labels. My approach to therapy is eclectic drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Motivational Interviewing, Play Therapy for children and adolescents, Internal Family Systems, Family Theories, and Attachment Theory. As your therapist, I will listen intently to your priorities for your treatment goals. Therapy is for the client to achieve goals and become a more productive person in life.
It takes courage to make a phone call, email, or text for help to overcome the negative vibes the world sends out on a daily basis. Everyone deserves to have a happier and healthier life. It can be achieved and be fulfilled. If you are ready to take steps to reach your goal, I am here to provide education, interventions, support, guidance, and empowerment for you. I look forward to working with you!!
