Getting to know Elizabeth Nelson

Hello! My name is Liz, and I'm not your average therapist. I am multi-state licensed as a Mental Health Counselor with a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Stetson University. I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and trauma. When I'm not being a therapist, you can usually find me outdoors, in a tattoo parlor, binge-watching a true crime series, or getting coffee. I believe it's important to take care of yourself both inside and outside of therapy, and I'm here to help you do just that. My approach I use a variety of evidence-based therapies to help you work through anxiety, depression, and other mental health struggles. I consider my treatment approach eclectic, incorporating modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Coping Skills Development. My focus With almost a decade of experience in the field, I've developed a niche in addiction recovery and working with Military, Veteran, and Law Enforcement communities. My therapeutic style and approach are a good fit for adults dealing with life transitions, grief, trauma, and addiction recovery support. My communication style I bring a little humor and a lot of empathy to every session. If you're looking for a therapist who's all about rigid boundaries and textbook techniques, I'm probably not your cup of tea. But if you want someone who's down-to-earth, easy to talk to, holds you accountable, and is a little bit sarcastic, you've come to the right place. My journey to mental healthcare I have always been drawn to helping others. I grew up in New York, and after 9/11/2001, I aimed to enlist in the military but was unable to. Instead, I chose to use my skills in a counseling role. I have worked in correctional facilities, addiction recovery centers, and owned a private practice. My goals for you Together, we'll work through your challenges.
