Getting to know Wendy Nelson
Ms. Wendy Nelson is a warm, reliable, and compassionate psychotherapist currently offering virtual counseling services through her private practice, where she welcomes patients of diverse communities.
Ms. Nelson earned her master's degree in counseling from the University of Northern Colorado. Her extensive training allows her to apply various evidence-based psychotherapy techniques during sessions and help patients cope with multiple mental health issues.
During appointments, Ms. Nelson creates a safe space for patients to express their concerns openly. She formulates treatment plans suited to each individual's needs and goals.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I find people seek counseling because they want to feel better, but it can be intimidating. Walking in for an appointment itself is an act of courage. My approach to therapy is simple … In with the good, out with the bad. I believe the vast majority of problems we experience are caused by a combination of two factors; carrying around too much stuff from the past, and not taking good enough care of ourselves.
The symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Substance Abuse can all manifest from not cleaning up the past and from practicing poor self care in in the present.
Using a variety of approaches including, Psychotherapy, Hypnosis, EMDR, and Process Work, my clients and I work together to shift this balance. As people get better at nurturing themselves and begin to let go of the weight of the past, they feel better.
In between sessions I will ask you to focus on practicing self care (in with the good), and in session, we will work together on the hard stuff (out with the bad)
No matter what, life is going to continue to be hard sometimes. What’s important is being able to maintain your inner capacity to cope. To me, the goal of therapy is trusting that you know what you can do to help yourself, and trusting that you have support when you need it.
Simple, but not easy. You don’t have to keep doing it alone. I am here to help.
I have been in private practice for over 20 years. Over the years I have been honored to witness the incredible resilience and strength humans possess. My clients and I enjoy our therapy sessions, and because everything we do is co-created the treatment is powerful and the outcomes last. The vast majority of the time people leave my office feeling much better than when they entered it. I love what I do. I have the most fulfilling and fun job I could have ever imagined.

I have had the privilege of working with Wendy Nelson on and off for over 10 years now, and I can confidently say that she is an exceptional therapist. Wendy has been instrumental in helping me navigate through various challenges and issues throughout the years.
One of the things that sets Wendy apart is her unwavering support for individuals with alternative lifestyles. She creates a safe and non-judgmental space where you can freely express yourself without fear of being misunderstood or criticized. This level of acceptance and understanding is rare to find, and it has been invaluable in my therapeutic journey with her.
Overall, I highly recommend Wendy Nelson to anyone seeking a therapist who is not only highly skilled and experienced but also deeply empathetic and supportive. Her dedication to her clients' well-being is truly commendable, and I am grateful to have her guidance on my path to healing and growth.

Wendy is a truly caring and compassionate professional. As a therapist she has helped guide, facilitate, and experience my changes and growth. She is intuitive and gifted when it comes to a therapeutic relationship. She is professional but personable. She understands how relationships can be difficult at times all the while looking to help heal current and past issues and any type of trauma. I would highly recommend her.
Her focus is dependent upon what is needed by the client. It might take a few sessions to establish the goal of treatment/therapy but once she understands your situation, I am confident that she can help you, or even in a couples therapy situations, to help reach your therapeutic goals.
I am grateful to Wendy Nelson for helping me through my issues. I am positive she can help you too.
