I am Nancy Andino, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker proudly serving New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. As an Afro-Puerto Rican therapist, I understand the unique challenges and pressures that our community faces in today’s world, because I face them daily. In my practice the client and I collaborate in creating a welcoming space where you can feel safe, supported, and truly seen, as you take control and acknowledge the choices available to you.

Together we will cultivate and nurture your Self-TRUST, which is key to this transformative process. 

My journey in the mental health support field has been fueled by curiosity and a passion for learning along with disappointments. I have been privileged to master various therapeutic modalities, including EMDR therapy, trauma therapy, gestalt therapy, and more. Each of these approaches has been thoughtfully selected to complement one another, to provide you with a holistic and tailored experience.

I believe that you are the expert of your own life and journey.

My role is to be your compass, guiding you as we explore and clarify your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Together we will challenge self-imposed judgments, pressures, people pleasing, and beliefs rooted in trauma. We will focus on your goals through mindfulness, authenticity, vulnerability, and the incredible power of embracing your whole self. These elements are essential, not only for your individual healing but also for how your loved ones experience you.

At Tailored for Change™, I offer individual and group therapy, virtual courses, self-help workbooks, trainings, workshops, and even mental wellness retreats. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where you can discover the tools and insights that resonate with you, empowering you to embrace your journey with confidence and grace. I am straightforward, I challenge, I push, while I also soothe, and model a curiosity driven space, that allows you to learn how your body communicates with you, honor your true willingness and acknowledge what you need to let go of.
If you’re seeking a therapist who understands your unique experiences and can provide compassionate support, I invite you to reach out.  

Gestalt Therapy 

Individual Therapy helps you
cope with symptoms that manifest
physically, emotionally, and mentally. Gestalt Therapy is a powerful method for exploring mindfulness, self-awareness, and emotional healing. It encourages personal accountability and deep self-exploration—helping you work through stress, anxiety, memories, and emotional patterns. At Tailored for Change, we incorporate breathwork, body-centered techniques, and holistic practices to enhance the therapy experience, fostering a sense of wholeness and well-being.

EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR Therapy) is a scientifically backed approach designed to help individuals process and resolve past traumas. This transformative technique supports emotional resilience by activating the brain’s natural healing mechanisms. Through guided eye movements and structured therapy sessions, EMDR helps clients break free from the grip of painful memories, fostering mental clarity, balance, and renewed strength. EMDR helps you break free from inherited traumas that shape your present—your ability to love, trust, make decisions, and embrace your future with confidence
