Hi, my name is Nancy Nelson. I specialize in Anxiety, OCD, and Postpartum Anxiety/Depression. I have over 9 years of clinical experience. I collaboratively work with clients to help them suffer less, understand themselves more, recognize triggers, and overcome them with self-agency. Working together with me, you will be in a client-centered, respectful, and understanding environment. I specialize in CBT: ERP, RF-ERP, and ICBT (Inference-based CBT). I have completed intensive trainings by renowned Dr. Reid Wilson, Dr. Michael Greenberg and has on-going consultatoons with ICBT co-founder Dr.Frederick Aardema.

After 4 years of being a therapist, I found myself gravitating more towards in treating those who have Anxiety/OCD/Post Partum-Depression/Anxiety.

Nancy has been exceptional. She combines warmth with intellectual depth and doesn't offer superficial reassurance or quick answers. Instead, she helps me understand the mechanisms behind my struggles while gently challenging my thinking. I always feel heard, respected, and supported, even when discussing difficult topics. Our sessions have given me practical tools, meaningful insights, and genuine hope for long-term change.

Nancy was professional, warm, and efficient. In one session she identified my pattern clearly, explained inferential confusion in a way that immediately made sense, and gave me a concrete next step. She didn't waste time — she knew exactly what she was looking at and matched the right approach to it. I came in with a complex presentation and left with clarity and a plan. Exactly what I needed.

I feel that this approach ( ERP) is having a real positive impact. I appreciate how action based this approach is and I also think the education about OCD Nancy is providing is making things "click". Excited about the progress I have made in a short time. Thank you Nancy!
