Therapy is a space where you don’t have to hold everything alone anymore. Many of my clients come to me because they’ve spent years being strong for everyone else —often at the cost of their own needs, voice, and sense of self.
Whether you’re healing from past emotional wounds, navigating the aftermath of harmful relationships, or trying to reconnect with the parts of you that went quiet in order to stay safe, therapy can offer a soft landing and a clear path forward.
My work is warm, relational, trauma-informed, and rooted in deep respect for your lived experience. I believe healing happens through connection —through being truly seen, heard, and understood.
In our work together, we slow down enough to notice what’s happening inside you, explore the patterns that no longer serve you, and gently strengthen the parts of you that are ready to take up space again.
You don’t have to walk this journey alone. I’m here with you — steady, present, and committed to your healing.
My Specialties
Because of the intersection of my personal and professional journey, I tend to connect most deeply with women and LBGTQ+ adults navigating the following experiences:
- Healing from emotional or psychological abuse
- Survivors of domestic abuse
- Childhood trauma and attachment wounds
- People-pleasing, self-abandonment, and losing your sense of self
- Rebuilding trust in yourself after toxic or harmful relationships
- Feeling “in between worlds” —culturally, emotionally, or during major life transitions
- Intergenerational trauma
- Anxiety that comes from always having to be the strong one or hold everything together
- Individuals reconnecting with their identity, voice, and inner wisdom
I work best with clients who are open to exploring their inner world and engaging in meaningful, collaborative work — not those looking for quick fixes or step-by-step formulas. Healing takes time, compassion, and connection, and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
My Approach to Therapy
I draw from several therapeutic perspectives, and I tailor my approach to what will best support your healing. Here are some of the lenses I bring into our work together:
- Emotions-based: I believe your emotions are wise messengers. Learning to understand and honor them allows you to show up more fully in your relationships and reconnect with your authentic self.
- Existential–Phenomenological: Rather than trying to “fix” you, I stay close to your lived experience —what it feels like to be you in the world. Together we explore the choices, patterns, and meanings that have shaped your life, with compassion and curiosity.
- Feminist: I’m committed to helping women and LGBTQ+ individuals reclaim their voice, power, and agency. I honor the impact that oppression, gendered expectations, and cultural narratives can have on our mental and emotional wellbeing.
- Mindfulness-informed: As a Certified Mindfulness Informed Professional (CMIP), I weave gentle awareness practices into our sessions when helpful — grounding, breathwork, and reconnecting with your body’s wisdom at your own pace.
- Multicultural: Your identity matters. The cultures you come from and the ones you live within shape how you see yourself, how you relate to others, and how you navigate the world. I approach this with deep respect and curiosity.
- Relational: Healing happens in connection. I pay close attention to the relationships that shaped you early in life, as well as the ones you’re navigating now. Understanding these patterns helps us gently shift the ones that no longer serve you.
Therapy & Me
My first counselor was a compassionate presence who gave me the space to crumble in front of another who did not judge but was always willing to lend a helping hand. This experience allowed me to connect with my own strength and to discover my vocation:
I wanted to be that comforting presence for people in distress, for those who are undergoing changes that feel like the end of everything they currently know.
As an immigrant woman, I saw therapy as the shelter where I could start to feel at home, no matter how uniquely challenging my story felt through the years. The compassionate ears who listened to me, the tender eyes that were always cheering me on, despite my tears, were a source of joy and encouragement to continue to navigate uncharted waters while holding on to the most powerful resource we all have at our disposal: Ourselves.
I founded my practice, Nancy Juscamaita Psychotherapy, in order to offer that cozy, safe space for self-reflection to you. I would love to help you strengthen your connection with yourself, which you have always had --that bond you can always go back to in order to figure out your next step. I am excited to join you in this exhilarating journey.
