About

Hello! My name is Susan Nelson and I'm a licensed professional clinical counselor in Minnesota. I've been working with individuals and families for 10 years. My approach is warm, relational, and honest. I most frequently use Humanistic, Solution-Focused, and Cognitive Behavioral techniques in my sessions. I believe all of us can benefit from therapy at different times in our lives, and think the client-therapist relationship is a starting point for creating change and identifying where and how that change needs to happen.

My passions and areas of strength in therapy include parenting challenges, infertility, cancer, caregiving, anxiety, depression, coping with loss, and adapting to significant life change. I have worked with children and adolescents, as well as adults. I chose this career because I care deeply about people and our stories. I believe most of us have periods in our lives where we struggle to cope, and often don't feel seen or heard - fully or even at all. Therapy can bridge that gap and be an important step in healing and learning new ways to engage in our lives and impact change.

I look forward to hearing your story!
