Izzy Nance, MFT

I have known Izzy as a fellow therapist for almost nine years! We have done several consultations and trainings together. I immediately responded to Izzy’s authenticity and charisma. She is always honest and I have always felt like I can bring my deepest, darkest thoughts and Izzy can handle it with grace.
I often turn to Izzy for help with issues around co-​dependence and recovery. I also seek her advice on women’s empowerment issues and sexuality. She brings creativity and compassion to the therapeutic process which makes things feel productive and fresh.
Izzy practices therapy in the Gestalt style of therapy which means that she uses a more interactive style of working together to help you navigate your emotions. She might use mindfulness or she might recreate a scenario in order for you to more deeply understand yourself and heal from your past. I find this helpful because sometimes simple talk therapy doesn’t feel as helpful as I want it to.
I love working with Izzy and I wholeheartedly recommend her!

Get your therapy hour with Izzy! I feel very lucky to have Izzy as a close colleague. I have been in various therapy groups, consultations, and trainings with Izzy for several years now and I know that she is an incredibly talented therapist, based on all of my experiences with her and because she is first and foremost that same person in the therapy room. She is a genuinely compassionate, loving, and non-​judgmental person. She can tell the truth without hurting; in fact, with love and humor. She has keen intuition, along with all the practical knowledge and skills necessary. I always think of Izzy when I need to send someone to another therapist.

Izzy is probably one the most real and no BS people I have ever met. Her therapy is spot on and I can say that she is definitely not averse to bringing up the tough issues. You know what I mean, those things that you’d rather avoid but know you should talk about? I certainly have had plenty of those. If there is anyone who can handle safely escorting you into the dark depths of your conscious or even unconscious mind, Izzy is that person.
I have to say that when I first met Izzy I was blown away by how non-​judgmental she is of things that might come up. She treats them as facts, not as things to be ashamed of or to feel guilty about.
Whether is regular therapy or counseling, couples or pre-​marital therapy I would trust Izzy with all of them. She lends a realness to whatever is going on, especially that real real uncomfortable stuff.

My dude and I came into our relationship both with a lot of childhood baggage. I was very familiar with therapy… my partner, not so much. We needed a therapist not because our relationship was in dire straights, but because we needed to decode and unpack some of the baggage and figure out how it fit into our relationship so we could be better for each other. Enter Izzy, the coolest punk rock therapist I know: totally sweet, understanding, flexible, VERY helpful, and also novice friendly, shall we say. Though the $ 150/​sesh was a little steep, we never felt any pressure to come back if we didn’t need it; in other words, it never felt like she was in it to make $$$ (which I have felt with other therapists). In fact, her therapy worked so well that we’re taking a break for a while, flying on our own to see if we can.

I like Izzy. And I feel like she likes me (and my husband). This is important to me, even though we are in a professional relationship. Due to the nature of our interaction, it’s key to feel like your therapist is offering you council and guiding you from a place of good intention. Izzy has a very caring and personable demeanor. Almost too much so, when we first started seeing her, I felt like there wasn’t that traditional patient/​doctor boundary and that threw me off at first. I then came to appreciate it because one sided relationships feel unauthentic to me.
That being said, my husband and I started seeing Izzy before we got married. There were some issues that we felt needed to be addressed before we made a major commitment to each other. Izzy helped our relationship overall, in how we communicate with each other, how we regard ourselves in the context of our partnership. It’s helped us tremendously to create a kinder, safer, more intimate environment. My husband and I continue to work on these thing with Izzy’s guidance. She has created a safe environment for each of us to air our grievances and vulnerabilities and ask for things that we might not be able to in another setting.
I honestly think Izzy is one of the best therapist I’ve had the experience of working with and I’ve worked with several. It’s nice though because my husband agrees and he has very limited experience so she’s good for «experts» and beginners alike.
Thanks for everything Izzy, you’ve put us on a good path.

Izzy is, by far, the most supportive and transforming therapists I have found. Her ability to whole-​heartidly listen, reflect, and engage is only surpassed by her innate non-​judgement. Her personalized care is held in the uttmost regard for each individual and what can be more sacred?
In working with Izzy, I learned not only how to vocalize my experience with corresponding somatic responses, but how to trust another intimately and to mirror her attitudes and perspective to support myself.
I am deeply confident that anyone questioning therapy would find comfort with Izzy. I have had no hesitation recommending her to friends– those who are experienced with therapy and ones without– and the only reports I recieve are glowing.
If only I wasnt across the world right now, I would be one of her loved clients again. Thank you Izzy, I adore you.
