Nelly Vela, LPC

Background and Clinical Approach

Hi there! My name is Nelly, and I’m here to provide a warm and friendly space for individuals and families seeking to make meaningful changes in their lives. I have a special passion for working with teens and young adults, but I happily welcome clients of all ages as we navigate life’s ups and downs together.

​​

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but it's also a powerful moment of self-care. With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in helping adolescents, young adults, adults, and couples navigate life's challenges—including anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, stress management, trauma, life transitions, anger issues, codependency, and emotional regulation struggles.

​​

 My approach is compassionate, personalized, and focused on fostering growth, healing, and self-discovery. In our sessions, you'll find a safe space where you are truly heard and supported. Whether you're facing overwhelming emotions, struggling with self-worth, or working through life's ups and downs, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.  

​

I use a combination of techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy, to help you find healing and growth. I’m dedicated to helping you work through trauma, boost your self-esteem, improve communication, and strengthen family bonds.

​

If you are experiencing stress, going through life transitions, or feeling emotionally disconnected, I’m here to provide personalized guidance, support, and practical tools—all with empathy and respect. Let’s work together on your healing journey!​
