Nancy G. Sandman, LICSW, BCD	Last Updated: 01/22/2012

Clinical specialities include depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, adolescents and life transitions. I have had over thirty years of experience helping people develop awareness of thier self-defeating behaviors that keep them from achieving thier life long dreams and goals.

I work with a number of local psychopharmacologists when medication may be indicated. I strongly believe that therapy can help people lead happy and fulfilling lives once they remove the road blocks that interfere.

My office is located at 1170 Beacon Street in Brookline Massachusetts. The "C" Line stops directly in front of the building. Ample street parking is nearby.
