Nancy Sherman, LICSW — Therapist in Washington

Hi there, I'm Nancy!

My approach to therapy is Solution-Focused, and my focus areas of practice are Mental Health Disorders, Trauma, and PTSD.

My focus

I typically work with adults addressing issues related to anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

My approach

I commonly utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress, and Trauma-Focused Therapy, which addresses the emotional and psychological impact of trauma.

My communication style

My communication style is direct and assertive.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist has included serving in the U.S. Army, followed by working in the banking industry, before my mentor encouraged me to return to school to become a social worker. I have worked in Crisis Services before I began my career working with Active Duty soldiers.

My goals for you

With clients, I utilize SMART Goals. This is effective because it breaks down goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound.

Our first session

In our first session, we will explore what brought the client into services and begin to design a plan of action to resolve the presenting issues.
