Dr. Amirah Nelson

I received my degrees in Counselor Education and Supervision and Counseling, Holistic Counseling, Psychology, and Biology pre-medicine. I also have a certificate in the creative and expressive arts. I have worked with clients who struggle with a wide range of mental health diagnoses pertaining to substance use, grief, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I have also worked in a variety of mental health settings serving children, adolescents, adults, couples and families, and groups.

I utilize a trauma informed counseling approach in my practice which also incorporates humanistic and postmodern theories. This consists of person-centered, feminist, and somatic experiencing modalities.

Whether clients are navigating trauma, facing life transitions, or seeking personal growth, my role is to offer empathy, understanding, and evidence-based interventions such as EMDR tailored to each client's unique needs. My hope is to provide comprehensive and compassionate counseling services aimed at fostering holistic well-being and empowering clients to navigate life's challenges with resilience and self-discovery!
