Nancy Rarick

I especially enjoy helping individuals and families accomplish goals, eliminate stress and have the kind of life we all deserve. I have been a therapist for more than thirty five years, and a registered nurse for just as long, incorporating both fields of knowledge into my practice. I have volunteered with the CSMR, in the role of a medical officer for nine years and enjoy helping military personnel and their families. I believe everyone has problems from time to time, and counseling can help.

My style of counseling is eclectic, humanistic, client centered and solution-focused. My specialty is anxiety, having just written a book on the subject, and I am eager to help with anxiety issues. Being a psychiatric registered nurse, I am skilled in psychotropic medications and their usefulness. I have worked for many years with individuals, couples and families and enjoy all of them. I am happy to help anyway that I can.

Goals for counseling are always the client's goals, not mine. My idea is to create a safe place for clients to express their feelings and thoughts and to feel supported. With depression and anxiety it may be difficult to set any goals except to feel better and that is all right, and should be the first things we explore together. I am looking forward to working with you.
