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, and recognize triggers and overcome them with self-agency.I worked in inpatient psychiatric as a social worker years before I decided to be a therapist. After 4 years of being a therapist, I found myself gravitating more towards in treating those who have Anxiety/OCD/Post Partum-Depression/Anxiety. 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.
Clients should expect to be well-informed on what to expect in therapy and what are treatment options. Clients will learn to skills to manage and alleviate their symptoms.
I believe with proper support and facilitating, one can gain immense insights and skills to achieve a higher quality of life. I work collaboratively with clients in the planning and achieving goals. After 4 years of being a therapist, I found myself gravitating more towards in treating those who have Anxiety/OCD/Post Partum-Depression/Anxiety. I found myself being effective in treating those areas. Nothing is more rewarding than watching clients spiral out of a deep hole and to be able to see the light and freedom from their symptoms.
I work with clients who have OCD, ruminations/negative thinking patterns, and postpartum anxiety/depression. I do not have evening/weekend availability.

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!

Nancy seems well-versed in the types of therapies I am looking for to treat OCD. I appreciated that she gave me "homework" right away and recognized that I am eager to take action. I appreciate her flexibility in finding an appointment time that can work for me. Excited to see where this journey leads.
