Getting to know Nancy Espinal
With over a decade of experience in social work, I provide a supportive and compassionate space where adults (18+) can explore challenges, heal from past experiences, and create meaningful change in their lives. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and major life transitions, and I’m here to help you feel more grounded, understood, and supported.
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with over 10 years of experience providing psychotherapy to adolescents and adults from diverse cultural backgrounds. My work has spanned community-based organizations, underserved NYC public schools, the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS), and the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), shaping a deeply culturally responsive and inclusive approach to care.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I also integrate trauma-informed care into all of my work. I believe therapy should feel like a safe and empowering partnership—one where you feel heard, understood, and supported while developing practical tools to navigate life’s challenges and move toward meaningful change.
Working with me feels like having a steady, nonjudgmental partner in your corner. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build insight, and focus on actionable steps that align with your goals. I offer individual and group therapy, crisis intervention, and care coordination, and I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, pace, and lived experience.
I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their strengths, gain clarity, and move forward with grea
