Holly Nelson, MA, LPC

Hello, I am excited to be a part of your journey!

Successful therapy requires hard work and a trusting relationship between you and your therapist. I am passionate about providing a safe space that will allow you to find healing and wholeness emotionally, socially, spiritually, sexually, physically, and mentally in your life. I want you to feel safe and comfortable from the moment that we begin working together. 

I practice with a focus on person-centered therapy, internal family systems therapy, and attachment-based theory to understand and explain human behavior. I am skilled in utilizing EMDR, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Sex Therapy, and DBT during the therapeutic process. I enjoy helping my clients create healthier relationships with themselves, their bodies, sex, and the relationships that they care most about in their lives. I have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ populations, sexual issues, attachment trauma, sexual trauma, eating disorders, and couples, including consensual non-monogamy.

I believe that the solution to your life’s challenges lies within you. I will strive to assist you in accessing your inner wisdom and your innate ability to heal. I will assist you in reconnecting with your most empowered self, and with getting your life back on track. If you are ready to heal your relationship with yourself and others, I look forward to wading through the muck with you, and untangling the experiences that led you down this path in your life. 

In my free time, I enjoy hiking, paddle boarding, traveling, and spending time with my friends and family.

 I work with couples, and individuals 15 and up.
