Hi, my name is John Nelson! I am currently beginning my third year at Spalding University in their Clinical
Psychology PsyD Program. My training from classes and my previous practicum site has
further strengthened my love for therapy and counseling. These experiences have allowed
me to develop my clinical skills and deepen my understanding of the therapeutic process.
My main objective as a clinician in training is to create and provide a safe, supportive,
and non-judgmental space for clients where they feel validated in their lived experience.
I am passionate about supporting clients as they navigate life obstacles that emerge
or persist, and I hope to help them recognize their strengths and work towards meaningful
change aligned with their values. I am excited to continue my training at Wellness
& Counseling at Jefferson!
