Welcome to Nest Counseling and Psychological Services
A place for self-reflection, enrichment, redirection, and growth. We are a client-centered counseling practice that works with you to restore emotional balance and stability in your life.
Navigating the path of life alone can be scary and overwhelming, and it can be hard to reach out for help. But if you made it to this website, you have already taken the first big step toward growing into the best version of yourself: you have recognized that you need some direction in your life. The hard part is almost over.
There is only understanding, support, and improvement ahead.
We can often get caught up in the vicious cycle of managing our wounds by avoiding our pain or dismissing it entirely.
No matter how much we are hurting, we feel a familiarity in our sadness and struggle, which stops us from facing what is truly preventing us from experiencing happiness.
Acknowledging that you need help can be scary and can lead to uncertainty and self-doubt. But it is important to move forward from this trap of self-sabotaging, and encourage the part of you that is hopeful; the part that seeks help, growth, and comfort.
If you are ready to face your wounds and allow yourself to grow, reach out to us now; let us help you begin your journey of rejuvenation, self-discovery, and healing.
Our Approach
At Nest Counseling, our clinicians specialize in treating clients with trauma, depression, and anxiety.
We join our clients in their journeys and focus on their strengths. Our goal is to instill hope along the way and facilitate empowerment and growth. We aim to make you feel seen, heard, loved, and understood. We will meet you where you are, emotionally and psychologically, and together we will help you to explore the change you seek within.
