Chad Nelson, LMFT
The mental health field has been my passion throughout my life dating back to when I was a teenager. Through life experience and experiencing tough grief/loss I knew early on that I wanted to help people. I love getting to work with people of all ages and backgrounds to help them become the best versions of themselves and alleviate symptoms and stressors that they feel are holding them back from enjoying their life. I have been fortunate enough to work in a number of areas of mental health. I have worked in the schools, substance abuse facilities, psychiatric hospitals, IOP, crisis work, and private practice.

I will meet you where you are, non-judgmentally, with empathy and compassion. I will provide a space to hold and help you heal.
