Getting to know Laura Nelson

Hi there, I'm Laura! Welcome dear. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. The approaches I primarily utilize with adult clients are person-centered and holistic. Many of the afflictions we endure are perfectly reasonable responses to the experiences, environments, and stresses of our daily lives. My focus I work best with individuals who are committed to authentic connection in therapy. I enjoy working with clients who need coping skills and strategies for managing anxiety or depression. I work well with clients who need psychoeducation. I’m a straightforward therapist who enjoys working with clients who are willing to do the work and make changes. My approach In our first session, we will meet each other as human beings. I will gently provide an introduction and engage in rapport-building conversation. It is my goal to learn about who you are and how to assist in your healing journey. My communication style I use a straightforward therapeutic approach that offers humor and warmhearted conversation. My therapeutic style is person-centered and holistic. I meet people with genuine and authentic connections. My journey to mental healthcare I believe in human connection and community. We need each other to survive. Each of us has times in our lives when we need a safe sounding board and advocacy. My goals for you I work in collaboration with clients' self-determination throughout the therapy process. A whole person (mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual) approach, not just a focus on symptoms. I am a big picture and little picture therapist who offers space for clients to explore their goals.
