Nanci Schiman, a Clinical Social Worker and Therapist with an MSW and LCSW certification, understands that clients come to therapy with their unique needs, goals, and expectations. She recognizes the ambivalence some may feel in long-term relationships, often influenced by convenience rather than love. Nanci is attuned to the growing frustration and hopelessness that can stem from conflict in marriages, and she empathizes with those experiencing a sense of being 'stuck' or lacking direction and purpose. Anxiety or depression may create barriers to everyday living, and parenting challenges can leave individuals questioning their abilities to assist their children. With a collaborative and compassionate approach, Nanci supports her clients in achieving their goals through insight and empowerment, emphasizing their individual strengths. Her areas of passion include couples and relationships, addiction issues (such as alcohol, drugs, food, and internet), eating disorders, mood disorders (anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder), life transitions, self-esteem, stress management, and parenting challenges, particularly with mental illness, school refusal, or defiance. Committed to fostering a safe and trusting relationship, Nanci respects each client's individual values and beliefs while providing calm support and the occasional splash of humor. She collaborates with clients to develop tailored treatment plans aimed at encouraging sustained growth and positive change.
