Tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness -based self-compassion are used to enhance progress.
I'm glad you're here. Confronting patterns that suppress your true values, needs, and desires in demanding systems and relationships is incredibly difficult. It is also the bravest and most commitment you can make to yourself. You may be here because of self doubt, identity confusion, people-pleasing, family conflict, perfectionism, body image issues, or burnout. My role as a therapist is creating a safe environment to hear you, see you, and empower you to live authentically. The therapeutic relationship needs to be strong for you to take risks and be nurtured with understanding, compassion, humor, and honesty.

Compassion, mindfulness , and healthy boundaries lead to successful life transitions.
We all experience anxiety, fear, depression or suffering - especially when faced with life transitions. Teens transitioning to adulthood; families transitioning through marriage, parenthood, divorce; individuals transitioning through career changes and aging; are all common, but often stressful experiences. These transitions also have the potential to bring joy, reflection and peace. However, we all need help sometimes to find the joy in our lives. I particularly enjoy helping adolescents and young adults find their path in this world, and believe this is a particularly critical transition.

I am trauma-informed and person-centered working psychodynamically with a focus on relational neurobiology, mindfulness , shame, and internal family systems.
We find ourselves seeking therapy for any number of reasons, perhaps because something in life feels insurmountable, life itself feels unbearable, or our own patterns and behaviors seem entirely frustrating and confusing. Wherever you find yourself, whatever the reason that has brought you here, I am here to join you in the frustration, fear, and failures. I work collaboratively with individuals dealing with anxiety, trauma, religious trauma, chronic pain, relationship problems, life transitions, and identity issues. Together we will explore and get to know the world that is you.

I offer a holistic approach to help young people who are impacted by mental and behavioral health concerns. I begin work with each youth by seeking to understand their personality, their skills and challenges, the environments they are embedded in, and the way mental health symptoms are impacting them. I provide treatment that is grounded in a humanistic, youth-centered approach using mindfulness and DBT skills. I include creative and play therapy in my practice as structures that help facilitate our work together, and offer nature and music therapy to interested youth. Many of the youth I work with identify as boys and young men.

I use a combination of psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness and hypnotherapy to create a deeply healing experience.
Whether your goal is to achieve greater self awareness, build stronger personal relationships, heal past wounds, or just feel better about yourself, a therapeutic relationship can help meet that goal. I would like to join you on your journey of self discovery as an advocate, partner and guide. My particular approach is help you discover your own natural resources by tapping into your subconscious to uncover blockages to healing and actualizing your fullest potential. This approach is especially useful with trauma related disorders, depression, anxiety, addiction and habits that are hard to break.

With a combined 10 years of experience studying mindfulness and Buddhist meditation practices, Jungian psychology, Family Systems therapy, yoga and the arts, I will lean into my body of knowledge with empirical modalities to best support you.
Everyone has an innate ability to heal themselves once they decide to befriend the parts they leave in the shadows. Therapy can help you welcome these parts with compassion as they naturally integrate back into illuminated wholeness. There is no magic bullet. Knowing who you are takes time, but it is worth the inner journey required to find out. I offer support to anyone who is experiencing life transitions, issues with attachment and intimacy, psychedelic support, trauma, sexuality, perfectionism, shadow work, family and ancestral trauma and creative blocks.

Besides being a therapist, I am a young adult scifi/fantasy writer, a parent of two, and have a daily mindfulness practice.
Accepting new clients. My work focuses on deepening how we tell stories about ourselves, as well as understanding and healing our relationships. Parenting, divorce, chronic illness, anxiety, shame, and relationship troubles are particularly good matches for me. Life can go sideways in all kinds of ways, and therapy can give you concrete tools and aha moments that can change everything. I have worked for over fifteen years in the mental health field, and love working with teens, adults, and couples. I welcome people from all backgrounds, and actively cultivate an atmosphere that welcomes and celebrates diversity of all kinds.

You are the expert in your life. I know it's challenging to navigate difficult emotions and relationships with others. Sometimes we need assistance in knowing how to start making positive changes. I am positive and hopeful. We will focus on your strengths and how to nurture and grow them. I specialize in helping to identify complex issues as well as identifying root causes. I feel it is beneficial to the therapy process, to get to know you as a whole person as we progress in building trust in the therapeutic relationship.

Everyone experiences anxiety, depression, and loss at sometime in their life. Often events and people happen in our lives that cause distress. No one deserves to be in pain and no one should have to endure when there is the possibility to reduce the pain. My goal is to help my clients find relief through self exploration and a desire to want to feel better. My job is to walk with my clients in their path to mindfulness . My goal is to provide a safe space for emotions to be expressed and validated without judgment. Together we will identify patterns and triggers, and create skills to reduce future emotional distress.

My therapeutic approach draws from a number of perspectives including psycho dynamic, mindfulness practice, somatic psycho-therapy training and the ongoing field and realm of neuroscience.
I love my work. I love to hear people’s stories about what makes them feel alive and what inspires them. I love helping people to feel more connected to their environment and trusting of themselves in the process. What fascinates me about the healing process in psychotherapy is reflecting upon the vulnerable, groundless mystery of the human journey and the endless revelations of the unguarded heart. The focus of my work is on the unique story and experience of each individual. My approach can differ in some ways from standard talk therapy.

One of the most helpful tools I offer clients is mindfulness , which helps empower you to find presence and truly achieve what you set out to do - from losing weight or quitting smoking to changing old thought patterns that contribute to your present experience of depression or anxiety.
With over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health and behavior change, I will help you identify and implement the changes you need to reduce your suffering and truly thrive. While you can't control what life throws at you, you can improve your ability to respond to the present moment in a skillful way, find your balance again and get back up on your feet. From a present, strengths-based perspective, we can look ahead and explore where you would like the path ahead of you to lead. I will walk alongside you on that path to celebrate what we uncover and to support you through any obstacles you may encounter along the way.

We all struggle in life at one point or another. However, reaching out for support can take a lot of strength and courage. For this reason, I strive to provide a safe, accepting, non-judgmental environment where you can openly explore your struggles and receive the support and guidance you need. Many times our past experiences have left us with wounds that become aggravated, causing difficulites in our relationships and daily lives. Together, we will reflect upon your emotional states and sources of distress to gain deeper awareness and skills for change, relief and healing in these areas.

My own life challenges, including issues related to fertility, postpartum and parenthood, have deepened and strengthened my belief in the power of self-compassion, mindfulness and empathy.
We all struggle from time to time, it's part of being human. While we often wish our difficult feelings would just go away, these periods of struggle can be an invitation for growth. Therapy will help you get through a difficult time and as you do you will gain the knowledge and tools necessary to make lasting positive change in your life. I help individual clients who feel stuck or dissatisfied with some aspect of their life increase self-awareness and self-compassion and decrease unwanted symptoms such as anxiety, depression and negative thoughts. ​​www.nancycasecounseling.com

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists

How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.

When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?

If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?

This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.

Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
