Nancy’s Therapy Services
Nancy’s Clinical Approach:
My general approach in working with clients is highly individualized, relational and strength-based. I believe most clients simply need an environment to communicate, process feelings and gain insight in order to create a more fulfilling and meaningful life. By utilizing the insights gained in therapy, we can develop an action plan to move toward transformation and healing.
I offer individual and family therapy for adolescents and adults. I provide individualized care which begins with understanding your goals for the therapy process and then together determining the best therapeutic framework and plan for your therapy process. I believe my process to be compassionate, respectful and goal directed, resulting in client empowerment.
I work with clients and families struggling with a variety of issues and those seeking a process of self-discovery and personal growth. My goal is to provide therapy leading to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
Services:
Individual Therapy
Offering evidence-based therapy for the treatment of binge eating, anorexia, bulimia, disordered eating, anxiety, identity development and life transitions for adults and adolescents. Trained in a number of therapy approaches including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family System.
Family Therapy
Guiding and helping parents and families through life transitions and milestones including supporting an individual family member with an eating disorder. One of the objectives is to open up the lines of communication to improve the overall functioning of the family system.
Telehealth Services
I offer online counseling for clients who are not able to find an appropriate treatment team and are unable to take advantage of ongoing therapy in my office. I utilize a HIPAA compliant platform that allows clients the opportunity to work with me in a private setting of their choosing.
Bariatric Psychological Evaluation and Counseling
I offer this speciality service pertaining to assessing people prior to bariatric surgery which is often an insurance requirement. I offer face to face services or telehealth services. For the last two years, I have worked with two of the largest bariatric practices in San Antonio. I provide assessment as well as help clients understand the lifestyle and behavioral change necessary to be successful with long term weight loss and maintain a health relationship with food.
Eating Disorder Consultation Service
I believe full recovery from an eating disorder is possible and it typically requires a multi-disciplinary team to treat effectively. Many people state that they treat eating disorders but have no formal training or true experience. A possible life-threatening illness requires a team of professionals such as a psychiatrist, therapist, nutritionist and counselor. I assist in establishing the care team and coordinating the treatment options should a higher level of care be necessary. I hope to take the marketing out of the process and focus on the individual’s clinical needs to develop the best possible team to assist in the process of healing.
PLPC Supervision for Licensure
One of the aspects of my career that I have greatly enjoyed is training and mentoring therapists. I provide supervision for Missouri licensure for those clinicians working to achieve their Professional Counseling license. Service includes review of clinical activity, case conceptualization, ethics and evidence-based practices geared to develop confidence and professional growth and development.
