Getting to know Amirah Nelson

Hi there, I'm Amirah! I received my degrees in Counselor Education and Supervision and Counseling, Holistic Counseling, Psychology, and Biology pre-medicine. I also have a certificate in the creative and expressive arts. My approach I utilize a trauma informed counseling approach in my practice which also incorporates humanistic and postmodern theories. This consists of person-centered, feminist, and somatic experiencing modalities. My focus I have worked with clients who struggle with a wide range of mental health diagnoses pertaining to substance use, grief, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I have also worked in a variety of mental health settings serving children, adolescents, adults, couples and families, and groups. My communication style My communication style has been described as warm, open, compassionate, empowering and holistic. Clients walk away with a sense of who they are in the world around them. My journey to mental healthcare I often say that this field chose me and that I did not choose this field. Initially, I started out as a Head Start teacher working with children who struggled emotionally and socially. I knew I needed more training to help my kiddos and that's how I entered the field of professional counseling. My goals for you Whether clients are navigating trauma, facing life transitions, or seeking personal growth, my role is to offer empathy, understanding, and evidence-based interventions such as EMDR tailored to each client's unique needs. My hope is to provide comprehensive and compassionate counseling services aimed at fostering holistic well-being and empowering clients to navigate life's challenges with resilience and self-discovery! My first session with you During our first session I will ask open-ended questions to formulate a treatment plan. I always respect client autonomy and inform clients that they have the right to refuse questions.
