Patricia Nelson

Patricia has been an absolute gift during one of the hardest seasons of my life. After years of thinking I was simply dealing with anxiety, I was finally assessed and diagnosed with OCD, panic disorder, generalized anxiety, and depression. As a first-time mom, a very type-A person, and someone juggling work stress, family challenges, and my own health issues, my nervous system had been stuck in fight-or-flight for far too long. Patricia helped me understand my OCD and behavioral patterns in a way that finally made so much sense, and she gave me tools that have genuinely changed my life. She is everything you could hope for in a therapist—honest, caring, attentive, empathetic, understanding, responsive, and incredibly supportive. She has helped me find so much more positivity and perspective, and I have come farther in my recovery than I ever thought possible. While it can still be hard at times, I feel stronger, more aware, and more hopeful because of her guidance. I am incredibly grateful to Patricia and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone struggling with OCD, anxiety, or feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to turn.

ERP has definitely been challenging for myself, but I am finally feeling some progress after sticking with it. Patricia has been very supportive and helpful throughout this process. Each week, she helps guide me through recovery and trying new exposures. I am very thankful!

Patricia holds such a comforting and nonjudgmental space for myself. Starting ERP can be daunting, but she helps make it feel more relaxed and doable. I’m grateful!
