Great to meet you!

I am Kirbie Nelson, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker). I have always been fascinated with psychology, our minds, emotions, and souls. I went back to school after a career in the business world for my degree as a clinical social worker. I find it an honor to cultivate and witness a client's work toward self-actualization, utilizing the power of their emotions to enhance their lives.

My approach to therapy

Healing is a process, and I am here to provide an oasis of calm, giving you space to be present with your feelings and listen to your inner voice. I use different therapy approaches, from psychodynamic to cognitive and behavioral approaches. I support your process in acquiring insights and practical skills that will help you process obstacles holding you back, allowing you to find meaning and fulfillment in your life.

What you can expect from me

Clients usually know what they want. I just help them express it, then we collaborate on a plan to make it a reality. Our first session is an opportunity to share what you want to accomplish in therapy. I will ask questions to understand you while you can freely share about yourself and ask your own questions about me and the therapeutic process.
