Nancy Marts, LCSW

Nancy Marts began her helping career in 1976, joining a program that worked with juvenile first-time offenders and youth labeled as ungovernable. She moved from that early work into a range of roles serving children, families, and adults, building a long and varied practice that spans 45 years of experience.

Her background includes work as a licensed medical social worker in home health and hospice settings, hospital-based roles supporting trauma, surgery, and orthopedic patients, and positions across inpatient, intensive outpatient, and general outpatient psychiatric services. These experiences contributed to a broad clinical skill set and a generalist approach informed by diverse training and practice settings. She holds the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Nancy is especially interested in supporting people facing life transitions. When plans shift or circumstances change, individuals can feel stuck, anxious, sad, or unsure how to move forward. Some transitions allow a return to a previous course, while others call for adaptation and a redefinition of identity and purpose. Situations such as physical or medical disability can produce profound losses - of role, usefulness, or belonging - and leave people asking why.

She does not promise quick answers, but she offers a collaborative process to explore each person’s situation and to develop practical skills that improve coping. Nancy approaches life as a journey and works with clients one step at a time.
