Getting to know Nancy Stark
Nancy is an experienced psychotherapist with over 26 years of clinical practice helping adults and couples navigate complex emotional and life challenges. She brings her love of yoga and tai chi into her work with anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, sleep disorders, and anger management. Nancy also has extensive experience supporting clients facing grief, trauma, maternal mental health concerns, infertility, women’s issues, relationship struggles, stress management, and LGBTQ+ related experiences.
Her decades of work across diverse clinical settings (Higher Ed,
Corrections, Community mental health, Addictions treatment, Marriage and custody mediation) have given her a deep understanding of how life transitions, loss, trauma, and identity development shape emotional well-being. Nancy integrates evidence-based modalities including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and psychodynamic therapy. Her approach is both insight-oriented and practical, helping clients gain understanding while building skills that foster meaningful and lasting change.
Nancy is a member of the Non-Ordinary Therapy Co., a groundbreaking virtual practice that offers a diverse range of non-traditional therapeutic modalities. We aim to revolutionize the treatment of anxiety, depression, and trauma through innovative therapeutic approaches like EMDR, DBT, psychoanalysis, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatics, mindfulness, hypnosis, meditation, breathwork, dreamwork, and holistic therapies that help uncover unconscious processes blocking you. We go beyond traditional talk therapy. Our therapists look beneath the surface to help people understand the root causes of their challenges and create lasting, meaningful change. We blend trauma-informed care, mind–body practices, and mindfulness with other evidence-based approaches.

she helped me move past a cycle of overthinking by providing a real world toolkit of strategies I could use immediately. She is a compassionate listener but also very direct and grounded, which made me feel empowered rather than just heard.

Every session ended with a specific takeaway or a small homework assignment that made the process feel active rather than passive. After three months, I felt significantly more equipped to handle my anxiety triggers. She’s professional, punctual, and very direct—perfect for anyone who wants to see measurable progress.

I was introduce to her by a friend of mine. So far I have had only 2 sessions with her. Only in these 2 sessions, I can feel that she is very honest with her work and truly wants to help her patients. Just 2 sessions in and I can already feel a change in myself. Wish her a good health and more success.
