Dr. Denise Nelson, PHD

I could not be more grateful for the care I recieved from Denise in my time in therapy with her. After struggling with Panic and Anxiety tripping into Depression and finding no progress with other Doctors and medicine I thankfully was referred to Denise and from the first session my recovery began. Denise combines incredible competence with sincere empathy and consistency. She helped me to more deeply understand the factors contributing to my experience and helped to not only treat the panic and anxiety with tools that I still use to this day, but also to alieve the depression, have a better understanding of grief, and ultimatlely taper off medication. Beyond this Denise helped me to better understand myself and my life situation and helped guide me in changes and priorties that changed my life in very meaningful ways. I cannot recommend Denise highly enough. If you are struggling and looking for help she is someone who will absolutely be a partner in your journey to get better.

My experience with Dr. Nelson has been exceptional. She has given me tools to battle OCD in a way that has improved my life immensely. If I used to suffer from OCD like a 10 out of 10 I would say now it is down to a 2. I cannot thank her enough for her help. Her advice is exceptional because she gives practical solutions to problems. She understands the nature of the problem no matter how subtle it is. Her recommendations work and we always get to the heart of the issue. You seldom find doctors who give such useful advice but Dr. Nelson’s is just so invaluable. I cannot thank her enough for the improvement I have seen on my life. I have always known that I have bipolar but when I learned that I had OCD I heard that there was a lot I could do about it. In Dr. Nelson’s capable hands I found this to be the truth. I have only been in treatment with her for a year but I have gotten my OCD almost completely under control. She gave me skills for which I am eternally grateful.

Dr. Nelson is a phenomenal psychologist and can't recommend her enough. I spent 5 years battling debilitating depression and anxiety, was hospitalized, taking a handful of various meds that didn't make me feel myself. Went through probably 4 psychiatrists, 3 psychologists. With her guidance, cured depression and anxiety in less than a year of work. Haven't had a panic attack in 2 years+ (used to happen daily), and just about off all my meds. She is practical, effective, and truly cares.

There simply are no words. Dr. Nelson got me through crisis after crisis for over a decade. She is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent practitioner. I met my match. And I am forever grateful for the time, attention, and level of care she provided. I trusted her with my life. She made me work hard and pulled no punches, yet was so sweet and encouraging. I was devastated when I had to change providers (my health insurance had changed for the worse). She was a lifesaver.

Dr. Nelson really helped me with my severe anxiety. I had really bad OCD and panic disorder. With her help and the skills she has taught me, my life has improved dramatically. She is a very warm and caring person and very easy to talk to.
