About

Feeling stressed? Anxious? Depressed? Are you struggling to regulate your moods on your own? Hello, I'm Nellie Finn. I have extensive training in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. I view my role as your mental health coach, who is here to share tools, feedback and support that will help you build your resilience, deal with challenges and manage your reactions to daily stressors. Yes, stress is part of everyday life but learning healthy coping strategies will help you feel empowered and ready to take on whatever life throws at you. Utilizing a Solution Focused approach, together we will have a goal-oriented focus to problem-solving. This approach will move you away from feeling helpless to feeling hopeful and inspired. Solution Focused goals are set up incrementally, so you build on your success. Regardless of how small the success, it is worth celebrating each step of the way, at each session meeting. I have 27 years of successful counseling experience supporting a diverse population of individuals from ages 14 thru 84. I enjoys working with individuals of all backgrounds from every continent. I am conversant in Spanish and Portuguese and I understand the cultural challenges of being a first generation US citizen (both of my parents are immigrants to the US). I understands the challenges many of us are facing with trying to balance personal needs, family, fertility challenges, career (and career set-backs & toxic work cultures), parenting, single life and modern dating. With unwavering optimistic positive support, I am is here to help you feel listened to, supported and appreciated. For me, it is an honor to support you on your journey to feel better.
