Tanna Nelson

My name is Tanna Nelson and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Charlotte, NC. I moved here over 10 years ago to obtain my Master's Degree in Counseling and certificate in Play Therapy from UNC Charlotte. Additionally, I have worked as a School Counselor for Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools. I work with children on a range of concerns utilizing Play Therapy. I work with adolescents and adults focusing on anxiety, healthy boundaries, stress management, and life transitions.

I believe in being authentic and understanding to help work through what life has thrown your way. Together, we will explore how to utilize your strengths to grow and progress as a human. Something unique about my approach to therapy is my use of humor while being direct in challenging negative thoughts and my use of creative interventions and activities.

You will take away from the sessions a sense of feeling heard and understood. I believe the main outcome of therapy is growth and progress. Each time we meet, you will learn something new about yourself, how you view the world, or what are your next actionable steps.
