Clinical Social Worker LMSW
My name is Brittany Nelson and I graduated from Michigan State University in 2017 with a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work.

I promote a warm nonjudgmental environment to help you feel safe/comfortable. Together we will uncover strengths and obstacles to help you take steps forward. Taking time to grow and learn is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. Therapy is a space that facilitates healing and growth for people of all ages and I cannot wait for you to begin your new journey.

Virtual Setting
I am currently offering virtual sessions only. For adults we can do video or phone calls. My preference when working with kids however, is video calling. What is nice about virtual is the convenience of not having drive time, you can join a session while on a walk, in your car, home or office. You are welcome to do sessions during lunch or dinner time and I don't mind at all if you want to eat. If you need availability outside of what the the booking link shows please reach out to me via email or phone which is located at the bottom of this page.

Service List
Adult Counseling
When working with adults, I want you to feel like the environment is warm, welcoming and non-judgmental. I understand the bravery and strength it takes to open up and want to work through challenges you're facing. I want you to leave sessions feeling heard and knowing that each session will be tailored to what you are needing in that moment. We can work on healing past trauma or focus on the present or future. Taking time to process how you are feeling and learning new skills can make a big difference in your life. Each therapist has something different to offer and finding the right fit can take time but I hope you take that first step and start this new journey alongside me.
Teen Counseling
I accept 11yrs+ and have experience targeting areas such as anxiety, depression, low self esteem, emotional regulation, school problems, peer pressure etc. When working with a child, I always like to invite the child's parent or guardian to the first intake session. I believe it is important for parent(s)/guardian(s) to be able to ask questions and feel heard in regards to what their concerns and hopes are for their child. In addition I like to check in with parents periodically in order to get feedback on how things are going. My journey with kids started in 2011 and I have a lot of experience working with kids who have severe trauma and anxiety. I understand the importance of meeting kids where they are and first starting with building a caring/trusting relationship.
Infertility/Parent Counseling
Women's issues that I specialize in include infertility, pregnancy, postpartum depression, balancing life as a mom, setting boundaries, working on relationships among, goal setting, helping support kids behaviors among others. I understand that women face hard and unique challenges and can be left not feeling like themselves pre and post pregnancy. Having someone to reach out to when you are feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward can make a world of a difference in your mental health. I would love the opportunity to be the person you can lean on when you are feeling overwhelmed, overloaded and uncertain what to do next.
