Empowerment-Focused Approaches
As a bilingual therapist, Nancy provides accessible, culturally affirming therapy for Spanish-speaking clients, breaking down language barriers that often prevent individuals from accessing quality mental health care.
Nancy specializes in trauma-informed care for youth, understanding how early traumatic experiences impact development and using age-appropriate interventions that promote healing and resilience.
Her empowerment-focused approach consistently helps clients recognize their inner strength and develop practical self-advocacy skills, fostering lasting change that extends beyond the therapeutic relationship.
"I hope clients feel empowered to make positive choices for themselves and leave with practical tools to navigate life's challenges more confidently. I strive to create a warm, supportive space where clients can feel seen, heard, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives."
- Nancy Verdin
Nancy Verdin is an Associate Clinical Social Worker who creates a warm, empowering therapeutic environment where clients can heal from trauma while building the confidence and skills needed to navigate life's challenges.
As a bilingual therapist fluent in both English and Spanish, she provides culturally responsive care that honors each client's unique background and lived experience. Nancy is particularly passionate about working with young people, Spanish speakers, and women, understanding the distinct cultural, developmental, and social factors that shape their experiences and therapeutic needs.
Her therapeutic approach centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) within a strengths-based, empowerment-focused framework. Nancy's methodology helps clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns while simultaneously recognizing their inner resilience and existing capabilities. She specializes in supporting clients through major life transitions, identity development, and building self-advocacy skills that serve them long after therapy concludes. Her approach is both practical and deeply validating, ensuring that clients leave sessions with concrete tools alongside a renewed sense of their own strength and wisdom.
With a Master's degree in Social Work, Nancy brings comprehensive training in human behavior, social justice, and systemic approaches to healing. Her education has equipped her with a deep understanding of how cultural, familial, and community factors influence mental health, allowing her to address not just individual symptoms but also the broader context that shapes clients' experiences. This systemic perspective is particularly valuable in her work with Spanish-speaking clients and youth, populations that often face unique cultural and developmental challenges.
Outside the therapy room, Nancy nurtures her own well-being through hiking adventures that connect her with nature's healing power. She finds joy in discovering new coffee shops and museums, experiences that feed her creativity and curiosity about the world. Nancy also treasures quiet moments driving while listening to her favorite music, understanding the therapeutic value of movement, rhythm, and personal reflection. These personal practices reflect her belief in the importance of self-care, exploration, and finding beauty in everyday experiences.
