Nancy (Avila) Rocha, MSW, LICSW

Nancy (she/her) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a masters degree from St. Catherine University/University of St. Thomas.

She uses a strengths-based and person-centered approach, while drawing from various disciplines centered around her client’s needs. Nancy frequently uses modalities rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Exposure Therapy, and Internal Family Systems among others.
