Matthew Nelson

My communication style

My approach is conversational and collaborative. You don’t need to have everything figured out before coming in, and there is no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with. Together, we’ll begin identifying goals and exploring possible directions for our work. I like to be open and avoid stuffy situations. Casual works for me.

My journey to mental healthcare

Ultimately, I was drawn to therapy because I believe that making changes at the most basic level of human relationships - couples - that I could help influence stronger families and stronger communities. As we improve, we lift those around us and that together we can do amazing things.

My goals for you

No one should have to go through life feeling less than they want to be. My goal is to provide a supportive space where clients can feel heard, find hope in change, and discover the path forward that works best for them. Goals are useful benchmarks to see and note progress over time. I use this as a way to show change and improvement.

Our first session

Your first therapy session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. We’ll start by reviewing informed consent and a few important disclosures so you understand how therapy works, including confidentiality and what you can expect from the process.
