Elissa Lewin is the Founder and President of Nancy's House.  The concept for Nancy's House emerged from her own experience as a caregiver, a chance conversation with a massage therapist, and her background as a licensed psychologist.  Trained in an inter-systems approach to clinical work, Elissa looks at what is going on within the individual, within the family and within the larger societal context.  All of these elements were brought to bear in creating the comprehensive approach to respite that is Nancy's House.Elissa has maintained a private practice for over 20 years.
