About Nancy Maxwell
Nancy Maxwell is a Michigan licensed social worker with 20 years of experience supporting clients across the lifespan. As an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker - she has delivered care in community mental health settings, including outpatient services, Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) teams, and clinical case management. Over two decades she has worked with clients ranging from preschool age through older adulthood, tailoring treatment to developmental stage and individual concerns.
Her early work focused on children and adolescents presenting with anxiety, depression, ADHD and attention challenges, school-related difficulties, emotional dysregulation, grief, and low self-esteem. With older adults she has addressed grief and loss related to illness or aging, depression, anxiety, life adjustments tied to physical and mental health changes, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive patterns, caregiver strain, and trauma. She meets each person where they are and attends to the whole individual rather than relying on labels.
Nancy practices with a warm, interactive style and offers faith-informed conversations when clients wish to include spiritual concerns. Her clinical approach is eclectic, drawing from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to create practical, individualized interventions. She prioritizes listening to clients describe their goals and collaborates with them to develop treatment plans focused on education, coping skills, support, and empowerment. Nancy encourages anyone ready to take steps toward improved well-being to reach out and begin the process.
