Nancy Marts, LCSW

Nancy Marts began her work in helping professions in 1976, first becoming involved with a juvenile first-time offender and "ungovernable" youth program. Over the ensuing decades she has worked extensively with children and families across a wide range of settings, building experience in both community- and hospital-based care. She has served as a licensed medical social worker in home health and hospice, worked as a hospital-based trauma, surgery, and orthopedic social worker, and provided care in inpatient, intensive outpatient, and general outpatient psychiatric settings.

With 45 years of experience, Nancy has developed a generalist skill set grounded in varied clinical environments and practical training. She holds the credential LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), reflecting advanced social work training and clinical practice. That background supports a flexible approach to clients facing transitions, loss, medical changes, or shifts in identity and purpose.

Nancy particularly enjoys working with people navigating life transitions, from shifts in role or health to the emotional impact of medical disability. She recognizes that life can be both rewarding and cruel, leaving people feeling confused, stuck, anxious, or sad, and that some changes require adaptation and a redefinition of self. She does not promise all the answers, but she offers to explore those questions alongside clients, step by step, and to develop practical coping skills that fit each person’s situation.
