Mission Statement

At Nielsen Psych, we believe every individual is unique and should never be reduced to a label. We honor each person’s background, identity, and lived experience. Cultural competence isn't just a value—it’s the foundation of how we practice. Our goal is to provide a safe, inclusive space where clients feel seen, heard, and respected. Diversity strengthens our work, and we celebrate what makes each client special.

We approach every client with empathy, compassion, and a deep understanding of how trauma shapes behavior and affects the body. Whether you're navigating grief, stress, or painful past experiences, we’re here to help you feel safe and supported. Our trauma-informed lens allows us to meet you without judgment, normalize the healing process, and support both the immediate and long-term effects of emotional hardship.

No matter where you are on your mental health or self-discovery journey—whether you’re new to therapy or further along—we're ready to walk alongside you. We adapt to your needs and goals, offering support that aligns with your pace and comfort. Wherever you're starting from, you're welcome here.

Our work is rooted in behaviorism, meaning we focus on actions that lead to real, observable changes. We identify your challenges, collaborate with you on a plan, and track progress in meaningful ways. Therapy at Nielsen Psych isn’t just about insight—it’s about practical, sustainable improvements in your daily life.

We believe in staying flexible, informed, and open to growth. While our foundation is evidence-based, our methods evolve with new research and the unique needs of each client. We’re not tied to outdated systems—we adapt behavioral science to meet today’s challenges in creative and effective ways.

Every person’s story is valid, and every client deserves to be treated with dignity. We don’t assume—we ask, listen, and learn. Our practice centers around respecting who you are and supporting who you want to become. You deserve a therapeutic space that uplifts and empowers you—and we’re honored to offer that.
