Sterling Nelsen LPC-Associate
I’m Sterling, a therapist passionate about helping men and adolescent boys navigate life’s challenges and build fulfilling relationships. With experience in various therapeutic settings, I offer a supportive and understanding space to explore your concerns, develop coping strategies, and achieve your goals. I also work with couples to improve communication and strengthen their bond.
My educational background includes a Master of Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University, equipping me with the knowledge and tools to support individuals and couples effectively. I integrate evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to tailor my approach to your specific needs.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with diverse populations in various settings, including residential treatment centers, group therapy sessions, and individual counseling. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the unique challenges men face today, including trauma, behavioral issues, and relationship difficulties.
Individual Counseling
I specialize in working with men and adolescent boys facing a wide range of challenges, including:
- Anxiety and depression
- Trauma and abuse
- Anger management
- Grief and loss
- Self-esteem and identity issues
- Relationship problems
My approach to individual therapy is collaborative and client-centered. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings without fear of shame or criticism. My goal is to empower you with the skills and insights necessary to overcome obstacles, improve your relationships, and live a more fulfilling life.
Couples Counseling
I also offer couples counseling to help partners improve their communication, resolve conflict, and deepen their connection. I work with couples facing various challenges, including:
- Communication problems
- Infidelity and trust issues
- Parenting differences
- Intimacy and sexual issues
- Life transitions and stress
In couples therapy, I provide a supportive and structured environment for both partners to express their needs and concerns openly and honestly. I help couples develop effective communication skills, build trust, and create a more fulfilling relationship.
