Hi, I’m Nanna (yes, it rhymes with sauna!)

Struggling with trauma, anxiety, or depression? Let’s work together to create a lighter, brighter, and more balanced you.

My Approach

I’m here to help you work through life’s toughest challenges with warmth, humor, and care. Life can feel overwhelming, like carrying a heavy load of trauma, anxiety, or depression. But here, we focus on creating a space where you can release that weight and step into clarity and calm.

Just like a sauna offers a place to release toxins and relax your body, this is a space for your mind to do the same. Let’s work together to untangle the challenges and rediscover the best version of you.

I specialize in helping individuals process their experiences and reclaim their peace using a tailored blend of therapeutic approaches. Whether it’s Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to process trauma, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to find balance, mindfulness to stay grounded, strengths-based techniques to empower you, or traditional psychotherapy to explore and heal, my goal is to meet you where you are and guide you toward where you want to be.

Your journey to healing starts here—with humor, compassion, and care. Let’s sauna your mind.

FAQ

  • First things first, don't be nervous. We'll start with a free consultation to determine if this is a good fit for you. Consultations typically last 10-20 minutes and give you a chance to see if you feel comfortable moving forward with me as your therapist.

  • I currently accept Aetna and United Healthcare

  • My standard session fee is $200, but I understand that financial circumstances can vary. To make therapy accessible, I offer a sliding scale:

    • Low tier - $100

    • Mid tier - $140

    • High tier - $180

    You choose any amount within the $100-$200 range that feels most comfortable for you, no questions asked. My goal is to ensure that cost isn’t a barrier to getting the support you need.

  • I only offer teletherapy sessions and I am currently licensed out of NY, but looking to expand to other states in the near future.

What Clients are Saying

“I am so grateful for each session that I have with Nanna. I first started seeing her during a traumatic point in my life, and it baffles me to see the amount of progress I've made since. I don't think I would have prioritized my wellness and healing journey sooner if I hadn't begun sessions with her. I have never felt so safe and comfortable in truthfully confiding in a therapist before our sessions, especially after having negative experiences with seeking professional help in the past. Nanna is always extremely empathetic and knowledgeable about mindfulness while she challenges me to learn more about myself and grow in all areas of my life.”

“I connected with Nanna at a time when I needed it most, and I truly don't know where I'd be without her. Her therapy provided the support I desperately needed during some of the hardest moments in my life. I can't recommend Nanna Waldroup highly enough. She's incredibly approachable, genuine, and one of the most compassionate therapists I've ever encountered.”

“I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the work I’ve done with Nanna to process complex childhood trauma, especially through the EMDR sessions. She has provided me with a safe, compassionate, and deeply understanding space where I can explore difficult memories and emotions. Her patience, expertise, and genuine care have been a guiding light. Through the EMDR process, I've experienced incredible breakthroughs in my healing journey. Every session has felt like a step closer to the peace I've longed for.”
