I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, self harm and family counseling. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I have worked with adolescents, those in addiction, and adults.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in humor in treatment as well. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and dialectal behavioral. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. My hours are 8 am to 4pm Monday through Friday . I have different hours for sessions and those include nights and weekends. Please visit my schedule. I have times and days blocked out for those who need special times like early morning, evenings and weekends. Please ask so I can open an appointment. I am very accommodating to scheduling.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Nancy has been an incredible asset in my personal growth these past two years. She holds me accountable, gives me homework, and pushes me to learn through every experience and challenges me to respond better in the future. If you’re looking to become the best version of yourself, and you’re willing to put the work in, Nancy will see you through. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s truly a blessing.

Nancy has been a wonderful counselor for the past few years. I learn so much, am working hard on my goals and homework, and appreciate her support and guidance so much. She is attentive, thoughtful, and experienced in many realms, which is incredibly helpful. Grateful for her and teen counseling this year!

Nancy always gives me help and hope. Her advice causes me to see the hopeless circumstances from a different perspective that sheds light on how I can change the way I act and think. I don’t need to be a victim. I value and respect her input highly

Nancy is an excellent therapist! She put me at ease within the first session and I feel confident in sharing with her. She's supportive and funny, but also firm where she needs to be. I'd highly recommend her to anyone!

Written on Jul 22, 2022 after therapy with Nancy for 11 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, compassion fatigue, and adhd

To be honest I was skeptical of therapy when my friend suggested I meet with Nancy. From our first meeting she made me feel comfortable and heard. Her method of using tools, homework, and exercises helps you to feel like you are improving week by week. She is compassionate and understanding. She let me know upfront that working through my trauma was going to be hard and she was right, it was hard. But she was also right there helping guide me to a place of healing. Every week felt like we were moving closer to my goals and looking back, we were. It's been about a year and I can honestly say that Nancys help changed my life. I used to get overwhelmed and lash out or freeze. Now I am able to evaluate what is happening and calmly respond. I am much better at self care and that makes me better at caring for my family. If you are looking for someone who will help you do the work, I can't recommend Nancy enough!

Sometimes we need to talk to someone to who won’t judge us, who isn’t in our daily life to correct our perception of things. Nancy has been that for my son, non judgmental and caring, she has helped him learn to open up and get things off his chest.

Written on Nov 08, 2021 after therapy with Nancy for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, self esteem, career difficulties, and coping with life changes

Finding a right therapist has been the longest journey for me. I have never felt like I “clicked” with anyone until I found Nancy Reali. I am so thankful for every session I’ve had with her. She has helped me learn things about myself that has greatly improved my anxiety, PTSD, and childhood trauma. She is so genuine, caring, knowledgeable and an overall amazing therapist!!

Written on Nov 03, 2021 after therapy with Nancy for 5 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, and coping with life changes

Nancy is the first therapist I’ve worked successfully with. Nancy is down to earth, funny, friendly, perceptive and quick to offer different types of resources to approach a problem. I loved the flexability to do both messaging and video chats.

Nancy is very kind, and I found it very easy to talk with her from day one. Her easy going approach to therapy makes it feel like I am talking to an old friend and I really appreciate that.

Written on Oct 21, 2021 after therapy with Nancy for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, self esteem, and coaching

Nancy is fantastic, the cost of the therapy and typically only being able to schedule 2 a month when the cost is more than 2 in person sessions with my insurance it’s rough.

Written on Oct 14, 2021 after therapy with Nancy for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, self esteem, coping with life changes, and adhd

I absolutely love Nancy! The first therapist I was paired with did not mesh well with me! Since talking with Nancy my life has changedn I know it sounds cheesy but she really has changed the way I think about myself and my life! She has raised my mind and taught me the right techniques and tools to cope and deal with my every day! I can’t say enough good things about Nancy!! I have recommended teencounseling.com to a lot of friends and family and had a bunch of people sign up!!!

Highly recommended

Written on Jul 10, 2021 after therapy with Nancy for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, self esteem, career difficulties, and coping with life changes

My first attempt at counseling did not go as I imagined and unfortunately I did not feel very comfortable with or confident that the counselor I had was a good fit for me. However, I did not want to give up so I did what was necessary to get paired with a different counselor; that is when I was paired with Nancy Reali.

I must say that Nancy makes counseling very easy for me! I look forward to having my counseling sessions with her! I’m able to be very open and honest, knowing that no matter the situation or topic being discussed, Nancy will hear me and give me great healthy advice. I also love that Nancy gives me great tools to help me, help myself , on this journey called life!

I can tell that Nancy is a sweet and genuine person that truly wants to help me. I definitely recommend and speak highly of her!

Nancy is awesome!!!!! Helping people is not just a job for her but a passion. She genuinely cares about each and every person she helps. She respects you for you no matter how different you are from what most would consider normal. I was fearful of being judged because I don't live a normal life, but there was no reason to worry. Nancy accepted my life from day one. I honestly can't say enough good things about her. If you want someone who truly cares and wants what's best for you Nancy Reali is the person to talk too!!!!

Nancy has been really good as my counselor! I'm trying to get approved for more sessions since I should have had a 5th one but the teencounseling.com platform thinks I already had it and is asking for payment. It won't even let me message her so I'm leaving a review to let you know. Sorry! I was ready for the session and logged in and it really wouldn't let me continue or even communicate without putting in payment. I'll be trying to get re-approved and reschedule. Sorry for the missed session!

Nancy Reali understands trauma and has a genuine interest in supporting me. She knows her stuff and is a sincere listener. So far, she has helped me understand my why. She made me feel confident that counseling is going to help me to feel like a more complete person and unbury issues that I've buried my whole life. My hope is that this will help me live a more joyful life and I believe Nancy would be the best person to help me in this process.

Nancy is unlike any therapist I’ve ever had. She not only listens, but digs down deep to the main thing that’s been going on in your life. She can find patterns in you that you haven’t understood yourself, and will help guide you in the right direction. She challenges me to get outside my box and ask questions. She is the most incredible therapist and person I’ve ever met. I absolutely love her and recommend her 100 percent!
