Hello, my name is Patrick A. Nelson. I specialize in working with individuals and families from underserved or marginalized communities, including young men of color, trauma survivors, and returning citizens. My clients often face systemic and personal challenges such as trauma, violence, socioeconomic barriers, and reintegration struggles. I provide trauma-informed, accessible, and culturally competent care, focusing on healing, resilience, and holistic well-being. With expertise grounded in empathy and systemic awareness, I am committed to empowering clients to achieve meaningful, lasting change.
I provide trauma-informed counseling for underserved communities, focusing on systemic inequities, trauma, and reentry. Using evidence-based and culturally responsive methods, I foster healing through programs like Seeking Safety, mentoring youth, and court-appointed services. Committed to equity, I offer accessible, holistic care to help clients thrive.
I understand the unique challenges you face and am here to provide a safe, supportive space for healing and growth. Together, we can navigate trauma, overcome barriers, and build resilience. You don’t have to face this journey alone—reaching out is the first step toward the healthier, empowered life you deserve. Let’s work together to help you thrive.
