Dr. Nelson absolutely changed my life. It is so rare to find a psychiatrist that does therapy and also rare to find a doctor who truly cares for his patients. He will challenge you and support you. It is worth it.
I have been a patient of Dr.Nelson’s for over a decade, but for the past 7 months I have been in intense psychiatric treatment of my bipolar/suicidal ideations/ptsd. Through our biweekly therapy sessions, I have been able to not only reduce my antidepressant/anxiolytic medication dosages, but also ELIMINATE two of my medications completely! I have developed both a greater self awareness and improved self esteem. Dr.Nelson directs my therapy toward the “root cause” of my traumatic childhood and upbringing and has helped me develop coping mechanisms to move past these emotional issues and become the person I am capable of being. He listens intently and has a vast knowledge and experience in the Freudian therapeutic methodologies. I highly recommend Dr.Nelson and have the upmost respect and confidence in his work and practice.
Dr. Nelson is great. He’s attentive, knowledgeable, and generous with his time. I feel very comfortable around him and have gained a great deal of insight into my own issues through our discussions and his feedback. It is very rare to find an MD in this area who offers hour-long sessions. I highly recommend him.
Excellent
The intense but personalized care I have received from Dr. Nelson, has provided a remarkable outcome for me, lessening the hold of neurosis, by helping me gain the tools necessary to defer it at every strike and angle. His ethics are impeccable, reserving any judgement with integrity, maintaining my dignity. From Freud, "In retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful." Dr. Nelson has helped me unfold a very troubled past, creating a path of light. I highly recommend his professional care.
dienied me an apointment, with out even listen to me for 1 minute
