Devin Nelson Claim

My name is Devin Nelson and I am a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who has a passion in coming alongside and working with couples, men, young adults, and adolescents. Whether it is dealing with relationship difficulties, depression, anger, anxiety, self-esteem/identity, co-dependency, spiritual issues, addiction, trauma or any life changes, I would like to help. My approach to therapy typically draws from a psychodynamic, systems, attachment, cognitive behavioral and experiential approach. If ‘trauma’ is present and impacting one’s day to day functioning, I am additionally trained in trauma modalities such as Brain-spotting and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). Over the last two decades, I have been involved in a span of work such as full time pastoral ministry, the corporate world, a full time stay-at-home dad, and working with adolescent boys as a case worker for a residential program helping them with their substance use addiction and mental health struggles. In addition, I have been married for over 13 years and have 4 children. My experiences, relationships and faith have enriched, humbled and strengthened me to be able to come alongside others and help them through their journeys. Life is messy! There can be things, circumstances, people, and even ourselves that have hurt, hindered and distracted us from making the changes and being the change that we long to experience. Many times we are left feeling lost, overwhelmed, wounded, stuck, and confused. My heart is to join with you during your difficult season by creating a safe space, just for you, to be heard and understood, to discover a deeper sense of self, to challenge and change unhelpful patterns of thoughts and behaviors, to gently navigate the wounds of past traumas, and most of all to feel empowered once again through a renewed sense of hope, healing and restoration.
