Jared Nelson, LCSW

Jared Nelson is a Nevada-born licensed clinical social worker who brings a focused, practical approach to helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, and life transitions. He earned undergraduate degrees in Anthropology and Psychology from the University of Nevada, Reno and completed a Master of Social Work (MSW) at Arizona State University in 2018. The MSW denotes a graduate degree in clinical social work, and his LCSW credential stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, reflecting state licensure and clinical training.

With four years of professional experience, he has worked across a range of settings including an acute rehabilitation hospital, inpatient behavioral hospitals, adult and children behavioral programs, and outpatient clinics. He also completed an internship at the Arizona State Hospital in both the Civil and Forensic Units. Those roles shaped his clinical focus on areas such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family issues, self-esteem, eating and sleeping concerns, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Jared offers specialized support for LGBT and gender-related concerns, gender dysphoria, HIV and AIDS issues, men's and women's issues, young adult challenges, and sexual health matters including sex addiction and sexual dysfunction. His practice incorporates evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. He is a male clinician based in Nevada and is not currently accepting new clients or international clients.
