Nancy Rich Villa believes that healing happens in relationship — and she brings genuine warmth, patience, and skill to every session she leads. As an ACSW, Nancy creates a space where children, teens, and families can show up exactly as they are and feel truly heard.

Life doesn't always hand us an easy path. Anxiety, depression, trauma, big life transitions, tricky family dynamics — these things can leave anyone feeling stuck or disconnected. Nancy's approach is collaborative and strengths-based: rather than telling clients what's “wrong,” she works alongside them to uncover what's already working, build practical coping tools, and move toward real, lasting change. Her trauma-informed lens means every client is met with compassion and zero judgment.

Nancy has particular experience supporting children and teens with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and impulse-control challenges — helping kids build self-regulation skills, navigate big emotions, and strengthen social connections, while giving parents practical strategies to support their child at home. She also works with clients managing anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and trauma, using evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT alongside play therapy techniques for her younger clients. When families need extra support in difficult moments, she's equipped to provide crisis intervention and risk assessment as well.

Whether she's meeting with a child working through big feelings or a family navigating a rough patch together, Nancy shows up with the same steady presence: curious, respectful, and fully invested in her clients' growth.

Nancy offers both in-person and telehealth sessions, so families can choose whatever feels most comfortable and accessible.
