Nelli Carlese

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship patterns that can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. I work especially with people who struggle with people-pleasing, codependency, low self-worth, boundaries, and trusting themselves.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and compassionate. Together, we’ll explore the experiences and patterns that have shaped how you relate to yourself and others while building practical tools for emotional regulation, healthier relationships, self-compassion, and self-trust. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to the life you want to create.

I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel welcomed, understood, and cared for. Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences.

We will explore the connections between your past, your present, and the person you hope to become. I help clients develop insight into the patterns, relationships, and experiences that have shaped their lives while identifying strengths that can support growth and healing.

I bring a gentle compassion, and genuine engagement to our work together, along with a deep commitment to your mental health and personal growth.
