Therapists in Fernley, NV

Hello, my name is Jared Nelson. I am a licensed clinical social worker. I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. I went to the University of Nevada, Reno for my undergrad in Anthropology and Psychology. I received my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from Arizona State University in 2018. I specialized in male issues, sexual issues, porn addiction, internet addictions, gender issues in adults and children, sex issues, serious mental illness (SMI), substance abuse, depression, and anxiety. I have a vast knowledge on LGBTQ+/GSM topics. I have worked at an acute rehab hospital, inpatient behavioral hospitals, adult/children behavioral programs, and outpatient clinics. I was an intern at the Arizona State Hospital: Civil and Forensic Units.

I am a licensed clinical social worker/therapist licensed in the state of Nevada with over 13 years of experience. Previously, I held a clinical social worker license in the state of Michigan as well. I have successfully worked with children and families, young adults, veterans and the elderly dealing with varying issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, dealing with end of life and caregiver stressors as well as with the community. Oftentimes, we can feel oppressed and debilitated by issues brought on by these adjustments in life. Finding a therapeutic relationship with someone who validates your concerns, and provides a safe, empathetic sounding board is crucial for managing your issues effectively while working toward freedom from mental and emotional stressors. My counseling style is interactive, client-centered and compassionate while using psychoeducational materials to assist with prompting discussion and self-reflection. Knowledge is power! It is also my belief that listening is the key to a successful therapeutic relationship. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused therapy and Motivational Interviewing to ensure the outcome you wish to achieve is outlined by a person-centered treatment plan with goals based on your specific needs. “Life doesn’t make any sense without interdependence. We need each other, and the sooner we learn that, the better for us all.” — Erik Erikson Session options: video/phone/live Availability: Monday-Friday 8am - 6pm PST ***Scheduling accommodations available on case by case basis***

I am a licensed psychologist in California and Nevada with over 20 years of experience. I specialize in LGBTQIA issues, my pronouns are ‘he and him.’ I also have worked over 10 years in a psychiatric hospital where I gained expertise with dual diagnosis patients (substance abuse issues + mental health disorder). I was also fortunate enough to work in the adolescent unit of the hospital as well. I earned my Ph.D. from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. I am also an educator to graduate students and provide supervision as they pursue their licenses. This helps keep me motivated to stay current with emerging trends in therapy. I mainly utilize cognitive-behavioral techniques as well as client-centered therapy. One of my favorite parts of conducting therapy is seeing diversity and being able to help those in all walks of life. I make no judgments and work hard to see things from the perspective of my clients. I see myself as a facilitator and I help my clients gain insight so they can tap into their strengths. Therapy is serious business, but I always like to use a bit of humor as appropriate. It is very important that everyone I work with feels valued and respected and I fully bring that to each and every session. Thank you for your time and I hope to work with you.

Life is an incredible journey, yet full of unexpected twists and turns. We all get stuck at times. That’s where I come in. With a background in strength-based, cognitive-behavioral therapy and years of life coaching and career counseling, I’ve helped many clients not only manage confusing or hard seasons of life, but thrive. Change can (and does) often bring stress, anxiety, loss of purpose and a flurry of other problems. I truly believe that these can be the perfect opportunities for growth and something new and beautiful. I am licensed in Washington state with 10 years of professional work experience. Through my own side business, I have had experience working as an executive and professional coach. I’ve also worked for 8+ years at a local college with students, young adults, mid-age and retirees, as they contemplated career change, life purpose and other stressful/confusing life events. I approach counseling by truly listening, showing compassion and encouragement while exploring your thoughts/actions that are keeping you stuck. I believe you are the expert at your life. My goal is to explore the barriers and help you make movement to where you need to be. Personally, I am a wife, sister, daughter, friend and homeschool mom of 3. I am a Christian and enjoy discussing your concerns from a Christian perspective. I would love to partner with you as you explore your life, struggle areas and barriers and I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

My approach to therapy goes beyond simply talking about problems; it’s about facing them head-on with the right skills, knowledge, and confidence as you grow into the person you’re meant to be—again and again. I help you see your worth and guide you in practicing self-compassion, even when it’s a difficult choice to make. Before diving into profound changes, I believe it’s important to take time to truly understand each other and uncover the deeper truths that might be keeping you stuck in negative patterns.  Together, we’ll work to clear through the fog and find the clarity you need. We all want to feel seen, and I strive to see you for who you truly are, with acceptance and non-judgment. At the same time, I’ll be direct in challenging the narratives that hold you back from becoming the person you need to be for yourself. I specialize in early childhood trauma, complex PTSD, and attachment issues, with a deep understanding of how early traumatic experiences can impact your ability to cope with life’s challenges. My approach centers around building life skills, fostering resilience, and nurturing a healthy, empowered self-image. Ultimately, my aim is to help you achieve a sense of inner peace and fulfillment.
