Nelly Rico Blustajn

Stronger relationships with clarity, connection, and heart.

Hi, I’m Nelly Rico Blustajn, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adults, couples, and parents. I specialize in relationships, parenting, and co-parenting, and I take a solution-focused approach to help you move forward with clarity and intention.

With over 35 years of experience supporting families, I understand how challenging—and meaningful—relationships and family life can be. My style is warm, honest, and collaborative. I’ll meet you where you are, and together we’ll focus on what matters most while finding practical ways to create real change.

As a Spanish-speaking therapist with a long history of working within Latino families, I deeply value cultural connection, family bonds, and the importance of feeling seen and understood.

I believe that the way we show up in our relationships shapes so much of our lives—and that even small shifts can create powerful, lasting change.

My approach is solution-focused, collaborative, and practical. I help clients gain clarity, improve communication, and make meaningful changes in their relationships and family dynamics.

I’m warm, honest, and direct—I’ll meet you where you are while helping you move forward with intention. We focus on what’s working, what’s not, and the small shifts that can create lasting change.

I specialize in relationships, parenting, and co-parenting, and bring a culturally responsive lens, especially in working with Latino families.

You can expect a warm, welcoming space where you feel comfortable sharing what’s been going on and what brought you to therapy.

We’ll talk about your goals—especially around relationships, parenting, or co-parenting—and begin to identify what’s working, what feels stuck, and where you’d like to see change. I take a solution-focused approach, so we’ll start looking at practical steps and small shifts that can make a real difference.

My style is supportive, honest, and collaborative. By the end of the session, most clients leave with greater clarity and a sense of direction for moving forward.
