Canzadie Nigro, LMHC

I am a licensed mental health counselor with a passion for learning and incorporating a variety of techniques into my treatment approach. I received my master's degree from Upper Iowa University in 2018 and my internship was at MercyOne Horizons substance abuse and mental health center. I believe this has given me an added perspective into the struggle that clients and their families face on a daily basis. I spent a few years working in community mental health serving clients with schizophrenia, dissociative identity disorder, personality disorders, eating disorders, grief and loss, anxiety, and depression. I also have a special interest in career counseling, hoarding disorder, and working victims of narcissistic personality disorder.

I have lived in Iowa most of my life and am a wife and mother of a large blended family. I understand the issues that new step-parents face and can offer added support during the process of joining two established families together. I spent my childhood on a farm and enjoy the outdoors, fur babies of all types, camping, hiking, and fishing. When I am not outside I spend my time playing video games with my children, working on home improvement projects with my husband, and working with animal rescue and rehabilitation fostering as needed.
