Chad Nelson, MFT
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 am down to earth, considerate, realistic, multicultural/inclusive, non judgmental, and empathetic in my approach. My therapy style is always non judgmental, attuned, and integrates active listening. I try my best to meet the client where they are and learn where it is they want to be/go in life, so that I can assist them in getting there therapeutically. The first session is typically focused on getting to know and initial assessment to discover your reasons for seeking therapy. Also, the 1st session will be utilized to become familiar with your preferences and comfort level.
