About Nancy
Nancy Buchanan is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with 29 years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief and loss, low self esteem, and depression. Her approach centers on listening, identifying strengths, and working together to build practical steps forward.
She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to draw on during hard moments. Sessions focus on clear goals, small changes that feel doable, and improving daily coping. Nancy encourages courage and momentum rather than jumping straight to labels or long treatment plans.
Her background includes many years supporting people through major life transitions and emotional pain. That experience informs how she helps clients manage worry, rebuild confidence, and handle relationship friction. She also addresses issues connected to abandonment, family of origin concerns, and social anxiety.
Nancy pays attention to how grief and loss affect day-to-day functioning and supports practical routines that reduce overwhelm. She often helps people reconnect to self-love and work through feelings of guilt and shame. The work is collaborative and aimed at tangible improvement in mood and functioning.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, goal setting, and tools to practice between sessions. Nancy recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make the process understandable and focused on lasting, manageable change.
