Nancy Madero, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Nancy!

I am an LCSW [101489] in California with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, & anger management. My additional focus is communication problems, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Isolation/loneliness, Life purpose, Self-love, Social anxiety and phobia.

My focus

I work with individuals and couples experiencing loneliness, depression, phobias, anxieties, and health or weight issues affecting self-esteem. I focus on those seeking a holistic approach to their well-being.

My approach

My approach is Christian-based, strength-based, and rooted in positive psychology. I use Exposure Therapy, solution-focused therapy, and CBT to help clients build on their strengths and work toward meaningful change.

My communication style

My communication style is assertive, and I am an active listener. Clients have a safe space to speak their minds and process their thoughts and feelings without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My drive is to focus on what is right through a Christian-based perspective on morals, values, and virtues rooted in love and forgiveness. I enjoy helping people in our communities who feel unloved, abandoned, lost, confused, or sick. I'm here to listen and provide hope and guidance.

My goals for you

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek help to experience a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Our first session

In our first session, I will go over the rules of therapy, understand why you decided to seek help, and provide a clear outline of expectations. I am open to your ideas and will work with you to set goals you would like to attain.
