Hello and welcome to BetterHelp.com. My name is Nancy Hamstreet, LMSW. I am a licensed clinical therapist in the State of Michigan. I earned my Masters Degree from Western Michigan University in 1998 and I have be working with individuals and families for 21 years.
I would like to begin by congratulating you for taking the first step in seeking out help from a professional who will accept and understand your personal challenges. I strongly believe it is essential for a therapist to approach each individual with a compassionate, open-minded and non-judgmental frame of mind. Finding the "right fit" with a therapist is crucial in developing a trusting relationship. A trusting relationship provides a comfortable setting for individuals to share their personal struggles and it provides the groundwork for working together to find real solutions.
I have worked with many individuals and families who have experienced a variety of personal challenges such as anxiety, stress, depression, family and relationship problems, trauma/abuse, and more. I employ several different types of therapeutic approaches to ensure the best fit for every individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) are the types of therapy I use most often. I found individuals respond well to these therapies when coupled with a future-oriented, solution-focused approach.
I welcome you to message me anytime through BetterHelp. I appreciate the flexible format BetterHelp provides to give individuals more options. I usually check my messages twice daily. I offer messaging, phone sessions, and video chat with some limited availability on weekends and evenings. I have developed a schedule, but this may not always reflect my availability. So, please message me if you are looking for other available times.
I look forward to working with you.

Nancy is absolutely lovely. She's kind, understanding and has helped me with my anxieties so much with the tips and techniques she has shared with me. She's patient and encouraging and has been absolutely brilliant with my needs. Nothing is too small to her.
