Nancy Lamon

Hi, I'm Nancy, and I'm glad you're here. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or weighed down by something you've been carrying for a long time, you don't have to navigate it alone. I work with children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, and other difficult experiences. I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you're unsure where to begin. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely understood. Together, we'll explore what's been weighing on you, recognize your strengths, and find meaningful ways to help you move forward.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I want you to feel comfortable being yourself while also having practical tools to create meaningful change. We'll focus on how anxiety, depression, anger, panic, and grief or loss may be affecting your daily life, while also considering how trauma, relationship challenges, family dynamics, and major life transitions connect to your experiences. I draw from Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help you examine beliefs and thought patterns that may have developed after difficult or traumatic experiences. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) can help children and adolescents process trauma and develop healthier coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you recognize connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so you can respond to challenges in more helpful ways. I also incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to identify your strengths and turn your goals into manageable steps, along with Narrative Therapy to explore the stories and experiences that have shaped how you see yourself. My goal is to help you build on your strengths, discover new perspectives, and develop practical strategies that support lasting growth.

Our first session is about getting to know you, understanding what brought you to therapy, and learning what matters most to you. You don't need to have everything organized or know exactly what you need before we meet. I'll take time to listen to your experiences, concerns, and goals so we can begin identifying what would be most helpful. You can expect a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable being honest and expressing yourself at your own pace. Together, we'll create a plan that feels realistic and meaningful for you. As we continue, we'll work on practical tools to manage difficult emotions, navigate stressful situations, process past experiences, and build greater confidence in your ability to handle life's challenges. My goal is for you to leave sessions feeling heard, supported, and more equipped to move forward.
