Elissa Lewin is the founder and president of Nancy’s House, a non-profit organization dedicated to caring for caregivers. As a licensed psychologist, Elissa uses the frame “we get to where we are from where we’ve been.” That integrative approach to understanding behavior is the driving force behind the creation of Nancy’s House. The path from there to here has given Elissa the wisdom of experience as a wife, a mother, licensed psychologist, and family caregiver. All of those sources shape the vision for Nancy’s House, a unique model for residential respite dedicated to the immediate and long-term needs of family caregivers.

Elissa has maintained a private practice for over 20 years. During that time, she also worked for 10 years as an adjunct therapist for the Council for Relationships, where she received her post-graduate training in couples and family therapy. Prior to starting her own practice, Elissa worked in human services, serving people with developmental disabilities. Throughout her work experience, the needs of caregivers, and the emotional and interpersonal effects of burnout, have been a recurrent theme. It is in Nancy’s House that all of these elements converge.
