Getting to know Jennifer Nelson
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I congratulate you on your decision and welcome you to reach out whenever you feel ready. As we work together, I'll combine empathy and intuition with practical tools to help you find relief from whatever is holding you back and build confidence in who you are.
My approach
I provide counseling, consultation, and education from an intuitive, holistic, and solution-focused perspective. I use my intuition and wisdom to offer feedback that helps us understand what is happening and what would be most helpful to you. Narrative and solution-focused approaches infuse my work, and my style is direct yet sensitive, lighthearted, and confident in your ability to change and grow. I also incorporate mindfulness-based techniques and am informed by neuroscience to help reduce stress's impact on your health. Improving health and wellness outcomes is my biggest passion.
My focus
My specialty areas include navigating the impact of antagonistic personality styles on relationships, anxiety, depression, substance use-related problems, stress reduction, grief and loss, learning to trust oneself and cultivating intuition, and helping highly sensitive people create energetic boundaries in an overstimulating world.
My communication style
My communication style is direct, respectful, empathic, and lighthearted. I enjoy helping others get through difficult times and collaborating to create an action plan that supports your personal goals for therapy.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey into therapy began with being born and raised in a family that needed the help I now provide. As a child, protective factors for me were participating in therapy and sports at a young age. I found hope and resilience in these spaces and in education. My goal is to provide comprehensive, compassionate care tailored to each individual's unique needs.
