Nancy Kochanowicz

Nancy was and will be remembered as a loving wife and mother, a contemplative and genuine person with a dry and often silly sense of humor. She loved art and books, and cared deeply for people and animals.

Born and raised in New Britain, Connecticut, she received her Bachelor of Science degree in psychology from Fordham University, and her PhD in Clinical Psychology from Arizona State University. She completed a post-doctoral externship at Claybury Hospital in Woodford Bridge, London and earned a Certificate in Psychoanalysis from the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. She worked and lived in New York City, practicing in inpatient psychiatry at Kings County Hospital and in rehabilitation medicine at Roosevelt Hospital. For the last 24 years, she lived in Croton-on-Hudson where she grew her private psychology practice, often working part-time so she could be with her daughters.

Nancy is survived by her husband Michael Bannan, her daughters Sarah and Caroline Bannan, her beloved dog Charlotte, and cats Louie and Chloe. She was pre-deceased by her parents Casimir Kochanowicz and Sophie Walena Kochanowicz.
