Ms. Nancy Stauffer works as a social work specialist in Gettysburg, PA.

"Our experience with Nancy Stauffer has been nothing short of disastrous. Instead of helping to mend and strengthen our relationship, her approach has actively contributed to its deterioration. From the beginning, Nancy seemed more interested in finding fault than in fostering understanding and resolution. She immediately advocated for separation, a stance that felt premature and unprofessional, considering the complexity of our situation. Rather than offering constructive strategies to address our issues, she hastily concluded that we were not good people, which was both offensive and unhelpful. Moreover, she labeled me as narcissistic based on a singular incident. This fixation on one event ignored the broader context of our relationship and my intentions as a partner and parent. Such a narrow focus only served to amplify misunderstandings rather than resolve them. Her approach lacked empathy, balance, and professionalism. Instead of creating a safe space for open dialogue, Nancy fostered an environment of blame and negativity. We sought her help to rebuild and reconnect, but her methods only pushed us further apart. I strongly advise against seeking counsel from her if you are looking for a supportive and constructive approach to relationship therapy. Our time with her was not only unhelpful but also deeply damaging."

What is Social Work?

Strongly influenced by the concepts of human rights and social justice, social workers are professionals that help vulnerable individuals, families, and groups in need. Social work can include a variety of different jobs or careers, but in essence it involves meeting people in their home environment, identifying the issues that are causing social problems for them, and connecting them with the right resources to improve their well-being.

Social workers may work for organizations, in hospitals, in schools, for the government, at senior centers, in private practice, or in any number of public or private institutions. Many social workers choose to work with specific populations, such as children, the elderly, or the poor. Often, social work is about creating healthy communities in order to improve the lives of all people.

Some of the issues that social workers may come up against in their profession include:

Violence
Poverty
Abuse
Discrimination
Illness and lack of access to healthcare
Drug and alcohol addiction
Divorce
Death and grief
Unemployment
Disability
Mental illness
Family dysfunction

Social workers are advocates for social change. They educate clients to prevent problems from occurring or worsening. They empower others to develop to their full potential.
