Therapist

Virtual • Lubbock, TX


Hello and Welcome,

My name is Nancy Twining, LPC, LCDC in Lubbock, Texas with M.Ed. (Counseling), BA (Psychology). Accepting New Clients with services: in -person, virtual, hybrid

If you are here looking for ways to have a better connection with yourself and others and find yourself thinking:

*What do I do now"?

(Neurodivergent informed therapy, Life stages, Sp. Ed. disabilities advocacy, chronic conditions/illnesses)

"I wish I had someone to talk to about this"

(Relationships, Grief, Communication skills, aging & life stages)

"I am tired of feeling like this and want to feel better

(Anxiety, Depression, Self - Love, Empowerment)

"What is it that makes me feel/believe like this"?

(Understanding yourself, what makes you You)

I can help. I want you to feel better, have a lighter spirit and help you find your personal best ways as we walk on your journey together.

This is what I know:

In my family, we have Neurodivergence, some anxiety, depression, grief, life stages, chronic illnesses and conditions and pain issues.

My belief: You are the Key to your Solutions!

I came to counseling after realizing at age 16 that I was meant to be counselor. Since then, working as a Sp. Ed. teacher and a regular education and Sp. Ed. counselor and in IOP therapy have added up while I persisted to make my dream come true to be an LPC. Yes, dreams do come true!

Personally, I offer experience and life perspective learned from nearly all the eras of our human experience and I hope to share it with my clients.

Therapies and techniques, and plans are customized just for you: Person-Centered, Cognitive - Behavioral, Solution Focused, and Self - Expression and Mindfulness through art and nature. All are holistically for your mind, body and spirit benefit.
