Getting to know Nancy Metcalf

Hello, my name is Nancy Metcalf. I have been licensed in the state of California as an LCSW since 2000. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I am comfortable working with many different populations and modalities. I take an accepting approach, and most clients find me to be very nonjudgmental. My interventions tend to focus on skill-building and cognitive therapy. My approach I incorporate DBT skills as often as possible, along with cognitive restructuring, chain analysis, and behavioral activation. I am very client-centered. My focus I have experience working with older adults and aging issues, women’s issues, self-esteem, and adjustment challenges, as well as adults managing both chronic medical and mental health concerns. My communication style Clients often tell me they feel accepted when working with me. They find me approachable and relatable. I also incorporate a sense of humor into my work, as I believe it enhances the therapeutic relationship and creates a safe environment to explore thoughts and ideas. I am open to feedback. My journey to therapy I have always been a helper, volunteering as a Big Sister throughout school and at women’s shelters and Rape Crisis programs. I love helping clients feel happier and more satisfied with themselves and their lives. My goals for you Week one generally focuses on identifying both long-term and short-term goals. I also work to understand clients’ expectations of therapy and how they will know when they are feeling better. My first session with you The focus is on understanding your present life and stressors, as well as developing working goals. Further sessions will emphasize skill-building and exploring how core beliefs formed in childhood affect your current thoughts and feelings.
