Stephanie NelsonPsychologist, PsyD

About

I believe that you are the expert of your own existence, and, as a therapist, my job is to guide you in collaborative exploration of that reality. I have helped clients adapt to issues related to anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, substance use, life transitions, identity struggles, relationship concerns, polyamory/ethical non-monogamy, loss and bereavement, end-of-life, and caregiver support. I work primarily with young adults and adults, but have extensive training and experience working with geriatric and medically compromised individuals, as well as members of the LGBTQ+ community. My therapeutic approach integrates treatments such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with other mindfulness-based and relational techniques. As a queer Filipino American woman, I empathize with the experience of finding myself while also navigating a world full of contradictory messages.
