About

I'm Nando Schlecht, a trauma therapist in Tucson

Licensed Associate Counselor, Army combat veteran, and writer. I work with capable adults who can name their patterns and still cannot change them.

Nando Schlecht, LAC

How I work

My work centers on nervous-system regulation, early shock, and complex trauma. Many of the people I see are high-functioning and feel disconnected or stuck in patterns they can name but cannot change, including intrusive thoughts and religious OCD.

I use parts-oriented and somatic methods, with a focus on helping the nervous system reorganize rather than only teaching coping skills.
