I have learned the importance of blending evidence-based care with a unique individualized approach tailored to the needs and desires of the individual; therefore, I practice a multi-modal approach that mixes neuroscience and psychology.
I have served underprivileged communities, worked with survivors and perpetrators of sexual and gender violence and have specialized training working with addictions, and promoting mind-body wellness.
Nels enjoys working with adolescents and youths, helping them with development and working through the hardships of life transitions. He also has specialized training in working with addictions and promoting mind-body wellness.
