Nancy is an LCSW, BCPA is a licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board Certified Patient Advocate in North Carolina and New York with over 20 years of experience.  She completed her Bachelor’s Degree at Brandeis University and Masters at Fordham University.  

 

 

Nancy has worked with children and adults of all ages,   most recently with the geriatric community and with people  navigating health challenges. She has worked in hospitals, community facilities and at home. 

Nancy met Dr. Strayer through her AAT certification course and started bringing dogs to visit her homebound clients in New York City.  By witnessing the healing that occurs by having an animal present during sessions, she was inspired to become an Animal Assisted Therapist. 

Nancy uses a solution focused approach in which clients can focus on specific issues by uncovering obstacles and setting goals for themselves.  Her hope is to help others uncover their own self-healing techniques they can use outside of the office.

Cookie

Hello!  I am Cookie, but everyone calls me Cat-Dog! .  Do not let my name fool you!  I am a proud Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix. 

I will always be grateful to Dooli for passing his job on to me!  He taught me how to work hard by sleeping, snoring (providing free aromatherapy a.k.a. passing gas) and occasionally being playful.  Sometimes I have to be serious and listen/follow my obedience commands so I do, especially to teach children why we have to be civil sometimes for ourselves and others.  Dooli let me come to work with him for 2 months and trained me! 

I work with the best animal team here at Animal Assisted Therapy of the Triangle!
