MKayla Nelson

At the core of my work is the belief that healing begins in the context of a safe and supportive relationship. I prioritize creating a trauma informed therapeutic space - one that honors your story, centers your voices, and supports you in showing up as your full, authentic self. I recognize that our individual experiences are shaped not only by personal history, but also by the broader systems we live within - systems that include oppression, marginalization, and inequality. I approach therapy with an awareness of how our identities and experiences within our environments intersect with mental health.

My work is rooted in trauma informed therapy practices that prioritize collaboration and empowerment. I draw from evidenced based models to tailor treatment to each individual's unique needs and goals. I also bring authenticity, warmth, and a sense of humanity into the room. Therapy should be a space where you feel supported with empathy and real presence.

Whether you are working through trauma, navigating life transitions, exploring your identity, or seeking greater self-understanding, I aim to offer a space where you can reflect, grow, and heal at your own pace. Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in respect for your lived experience. We are happy you are here!
