About me

Hi Everyone! My name is Marsha Nan Poland Cooper, but please call me Nan. I have been a therapist for several years. I started in a clinic setting and through the clinic, I was a therapist for clients in the school system. I have experience working with middle school and high school clients, along with their families in the school system and in a clinic setting. I started my private practice five years ago and love working for myself. My BA and MAE degrees are from Western Kentucky University. I believe that clients should have an active role in their sessions. I use CBT quite a bit in therapy, and I like to give homework to clients on occasion.

I find that Ms Cooper has multiple ways in connecting with what is going on with me. She is insightful and witty. She has given me recommendations for literature that can help me along with my healing process as well as tools to use in my day-to-day life. I feel so much better each time that I speak with her, and I can feel that what I am learning from her is helping me in my day-to-day life.

We can't thank Nan enough for helping us to cope during one of the most difficult times in our life as we dealt with a narcissistic family member and aging parents. She was inciteful, offered practical suggestions, and quickly responded to messages between sessions. We love and highly recommend her!!

I’m amazed with the help I’ve received for only having a few sessions so far. Nan has helped me reached conclusions on my own rather than just telling me this type of help makes the progress eye opening and I really feel like I’m cared for.

Written on Mar 05, 2022 after therapy with Marsha Nan for 5 months

God knew what my husband and I needed when he put Nan in our lives. We were in a very dark place. I’m ecstatic to say, that is no longer the case. She has prayed, laughed and cried with us. I don’t have the words to convey how thankful I am for teencounseling.com and Marsha Nan Poland Cooper!

Nan has been a peace maker in my life by wording things so simply in a way that makes me believe I can do anything I set my mind to. It has been inspirational to say the least. When I started teencounseling.com I wasn’t so sure I was going to be able to open up like I desired but looking back I have come along way even though we have only had a handful of sessions. I look forward to continuing sessions and communicating with Nan.
