NIOME NELSON, M.S., MHC-LP

Therapist

OFFICE LOCATION : NEW YORK

As a dedicated Mental Health Counselor specializing in adolescence, I have had the privilege of working with clients from diverse backgrounds and across different age groups. I am deeply committed to supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and strive to enhance their emotional well-being. With a compassionate and empathetic approach, I create a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

My therapeutic focus centers on helping you develop effective coping strategies, build resilience, and foster sustainable personal growth. I understand that each person’s journey is unique, which is why I tailor evidence-based interventions to meet your specific needs. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, end-of-life transitions, or chronic stress, I use a range of proven therapeutic modalities to empower you on your path to healing.

For instance, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an approach I often utilize to help you identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and beliefs. This method provides practical tools for reframing negative thinking and promoting healthier, more adaptive behaviors. In addition, I integrate mindfulness-based practices into our sessions, encouraging you to cultivate self-awareness and develop the ability to stay present in the moment. These practices can be particularly helpful in reducing stress and increasing emotional regulation.

Furthermore, my work sometimes incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and trauma-informed care. These approaches are designed to help you manage overwhelming emotions, navigate interpersonal challenges, and heal from past trauma. By combining these strategies, I strive to create a comprehensive treatment plan that not only addresses immediate concerns but also lays the groundwork for long-term mental health and well-being.

Throughout my career, I have witnessed the transformative power of therapy. I have seen how the integration of these approaches can lead to meaningful changes—helping clients to reframe their narratives, build inner strength, and create a more fulfilling life. My role is to guide you through this process, offering unwavering support as you work through difficult experiences and move toward a place of greater self-understanding and emotional balance.

I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor’s in Behavioral Science from Mercy College, which have provided me with a strong foundation in both clinical practice and the understanding of human behavior. These academic experiences, combined with my practical work with individuals, families, and adolescents, have shaped my holistic view of mental health care. I believe that every client deserves a tailored approach that honors their individuality while also providing effective, science-based interventions.

I am honored to be a part of your journey and look forward to helping you SHIFT your journey toward a brighter, healthier future. Whether you are taking your first steps in therapy or are on a longer path of healing, I am here to support you every step of the way with warmth, understanding, and a commitment to your well-being.
