Nancy Busch, LCSW

Nancy Busch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience in behavioral health. She has provided care across a range of settings, including inpatient psychiatric hospitalization, community-based mental health programs, and military bases both within the United States and abroad. Her background includes work with active duty and retired service members from all branches of the armed forces as well as first responders.

Nancy practices with a client-centered orientation, prioritizing the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for progress. Early sessions focus on creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where goals and priorities are clarified. She addresses a broad spectrum of concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship challenges, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue, along with related issues like communication problems, first responder and veteran-specific struggles, panic disorder, and post-traumatic stress.

Her clinical approach blends evidence-informed methods including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method for relationship work, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Treatment plans are tailored to each person’s unique needs and developed collaboratively, with an emphasis on dignity and respect. Nancy partners with people to set clear goals and apply practical strategies that align with their values and life circumstances.

Taking the first step toward change requires courage, and Nancy offers steady guidance and support throughout the therapeutic process. She aims to help individuals build skills, find resilience, and work toward meaningful improvements in well-being.
