Hi there, I'm Steven!
Hello, my name is Steven Nelson. I am always delighted to be able to help others find their own solutions with life's circumstances. There can always be a positive aspect to a struggle or an unfortunate situation. If you seek, you will find. At times we just need that support to help see it. "If you bring the body, the mind will follow."
My approach
I specialize in various and multiple theoretical approaches to help with various addiction issues, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD.
My focus
I specialize in working with law enforcement, active military service members, their families, and military veterans. I also enjoy working with others who are in need of recovery from various addictions (drug/alcohol/sex, etc.).
My communication style
I meet the person where they're at, then we move forward together.
