Nellie Douglas

MFTI

I'm a compassionate and steady presence for teens, individuals, and couples navigating anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and life transitions. I offer practical support rooted in evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care. My work is both structured and personal, helping clients develop tools that foster long-term growth and emotional resilience.

I'm passionate about helping couples build stronger, more connected relationships. I'm formally trained in the Gottman Method for couples therapy, a skills-based model designed to improve communication, reduce conflict, and deepen intimacy. Clients often tell me they value my ability to offer insight while keeping sessions focused and goal-oriented. Whether you're working through past trauma, stuck in a negative pattern, or simply feeling lost, I aim to offer a thoughtful and action-focused path forward.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent years raising my family and working in a variety of professional roles; it's those experiences in the workplace as well as being a mother and spouse that helped ready me for mental health work. I bring a mature, grounded perspective to my clinical work, shaped by both personal experience and academic training. Having navigated meaningful relationship challenges in my own life, I understand firsthand the emotional complexities that can arise in families and relationships.

I'm happily married with children and bring a seasoned life experience to help people at all stages. I'm an avid reader and love learning about all kinds of topics. I enjoy baking, long walks, and spending time with my family.
