Hi I’m Nelson!

I truly understand the profound impact that trauma and OCD can have on your life, self-worth, relationships, and communication. Navigating these experiences can feel like a constant battle, where intrusive thoughts and anxiety cloud your path forward, isolating you from those you care about. You might find it difficult to connect with others, feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, and doubting your own value and abilities in your personal interactions. It’s important to know that these feelings, while challenging, do not define you. Together, we can create a safe space where you can explore these emotions, untangle the complexities of your experiences, heal, and rediscover a sense of hope, resilience, and connection with those around you.

As we work together, my aim is to empower you with tools and strategies that nurture your self-esteem, heal from trauma, enhance your communication skills, and improve your relationships. I offer a compassionate and understanding environment where you can openly discuss your struggles without judgment. We will focus on building a personalized plan that addresses your unique needs, helping you to reclaim control over both your internal world and your interactions with others. Whether it’s through exploring therapeutic techniques or redefining your sense of self-worth, my commitment is to support you every step of the way—so you can heal and lead a fulfilling, balanced life, connected to yourself and to those you hold dear.

As a male mental health therapist, I understand the unique challenges and stigmas that can surround men’s emotional expression. It’s crucial to break down the barriers that suggest men can’t connect emotionally. In our sessions, I strive to model openness and vulnerability, fostering a therapeutic alliance that encourages honest communication. By challenging these outdated notions, we not only facilitate a more effective therapeutic process but also contribute to a broader cultural shift that acknowledges and validates men’s emotional experiences. Together, let’s work towards breaking these stigmas and building a foundation of genuine emotional connection and healing.

When I’m not working

I’m passionate about the outdoors, whether it’s mountain biking, rock climbing, or capturing nature through photography. I also value quality time with family and friends, and make space for meditation, reflection, and ongoing learning in my daily routine. These activities help me stay balanced and at my best when working with clients.

Nelson is the best therapist I have ever worked with! He was so helpful for my anxiety and OCD!”
Nelson is fantastic! It takes a skilled and caring professional to create the kind of environment he does. I always leave feeling recharged and my relationships with myself, wife, and others have all benefited. I’ve seen many different providers and Nelson stands out as someone who listens, cares, and provides practical and actionable steps moving forward (which I really appreciate). Highly recommend!” BJ
I’ve worked with a couple therapists in the past and Nelson Lee by far has the best approach to helping overcome anxiety. Nelson helped me learn practical and effective ways to help me get to a settled place. The tools and techniques are easy to deploy and they work well. I also appreciated Nelson’s down to earth personality and his willingness to truly listen to what I was experiencing before recommending techniques. I always get heard and understood every time we met.”
“Nelson is a very kind therapist that is knowledgeable about treating OCD and anxiety disorders – his insights are super valuable and I’ve loved worked with him!”
