Really easy to talk to! Can give you some really great insight. Was able to help me to begin where I needed to start with speaking of things because I was at a loss of words and he made that so easy!

As a combat veteran diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, all the things, I think Mr. Nelson has been my favorite therapist. He is an amazing listener and goes out of his way to help his patients. He’s helped me through tough times for a year now!

I didn't really open up completely with Elrick. He was good. I think I stopped too soon.

Elrick is a very easy person to talk to. By far the best therapist I’ve talked with. I’ve had others. Elrick doesn’t make me paranoid. He genuinely seems to want to help me lighten the load to a more manageable weight. You’d be lucky to get matched with him.

From our first session there was a strong understanding of what I am dealing with. He immediately started working with me on ways to improve and regain confidence in myself.

Elrick is great at listening and connecting the dots and then sharing his own experiences and stories that directly relate to yours. He is more than willing to put in the extra work to help his patience and approaches counselling in a very direct, realistic, but kind way. His sense of humour and ability to laugh is refreshing and helps to lighten the mood.

Elrick is a wise and compassionate individual. He has a unique ability to express his perspective in ways that even a best friend might not. He has helped me understand so much about my own psyche. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist, especially with a similar background to me.

I've spoken to Elrivk twice do far and have had great results both times. He's really good and bringing things into perspective and stopping a ruminating spiral. I love his real world examples and sense of humor.

Elrick is a kind and compassionate individual. But is not afraid to tell you how it is either. He is comforting when he needs to be and assertive when he needs to correct your thinking. He has strong conviction when it comes to Christian morals and principles in guiding his therapy sessions, but I would recommend him even if you are not Christian as well.

Our sessions have helped me become a better person, a better and more productive human. I find myself very optimistic towards life, I’m now better at handling pressure, stress and I’m doing better in my studies. I would highly recommend Elrick Nelson and have him as my therapist much longer.
