Stormey Nielsen, LCSW

Life is heavy at times and having someone to assist in lightening the load is necessary. Whether you are an adult experiencing conflict with self, a teen or kid navigating behaviors and fitting in, or your concerns are more centered on racial identity or adoption identity, you feel I may be able to help. Growing is hard and each stage presents a different experience that sometimes we don't know how to navigate. When there is a place for healthy expression, exploration and empowerment, these areas can get easier.

Social work and therapy became my focus because I love to help others. I enjoy topics surrounding identity and I enjoy trauma focused work. As a TRA Iā€™m especially passionate toward exploring the intersections of race and adoption. Finding your place at any age can be challenging; empowerment is needed through all stages.

When you are ready to jump in, reach out! Let's find a way to express the hard things and magnify your strengths. I'm here to listen, help you problem solve, and build skills to navigate the day to day challenges.
