I specialize in counseling from an orthodox Christian perspective, integrating evidence-based therapeutic approaches with a biblical framework to help clients navigate anxiety, grief, relationships, life transitions, and personal growth. I provide a compassionate, judgment-free space where faith can be part of the healing process while honoring each client’s unique story, questions, and journey.

If you are Christian and would like to incorporate your faith into treatment, we can absolutely do this. If you have had negative experiences with Christianity and would like to unpack that, I will hold a safe space and non-judgment for you to process Church hurt. Therapy isn't about a therapist imparting their values on their clients. It is quite the opposite. It is about clients sharing their values with us and we guide you based on those values.

Dayna Nelson, PsyD, LP
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
All faiths, denominations, or secular beliefs are welcome at Dr. Nelson's practice. However, if you are a Christians and/or express an interest in exploring your faith, Dr. Nelson will give counsel from a Biblical perspective. There is power in the scriptures to transform lives, cope with stress, trauma or grief, and to help people to be set free from depression, anxiety, addictions, and many other problems of living. Dr. Nelson has found that using the scriptures and spirituality compliment evidenced based psychology, and helps motivated clients heal quicker than traditional techniques alone. Proverbs 16:24 says, “As a man thinks, so is he”. Neuroscience has identified neuroplasticity through brain imaging that shows we have the ability to change or re-wire our neurons by changing the way we think about things. This could also be summarized by Romans 12:12, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,”. The mind, body and spirit are all interconnected, and I will help you integrate all three to your treatment.
