Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Nancy Longabaugh is a licensed clinical social worker with over three decades of experience providing compassionate, thoughtful mental health care.

She takes a holistic view of healing, recognizing the important connection between physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. For clients who are open to it, Nancy is comfortable thoughtfully integrating Christian faith into the counseling process as a source of strength, meaning, and support.
