Hi, I’m Drew Nelson and I am a graduate student at Touro University’s (California) Edith Neumann School of Health and Human Services where I am completing a degree program in Marriage and Family Therapy with Emphasis in Licensed Professional Clinical Counseling.

I am a Georgia native from metro Atlanta where I completed a Bachelor of Arts program in Psychology as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a concentration in Sexual Identity at Georgia State University. I am so excited to join this platform where I will have the opportunity to positively impact people’s lives in therapy with this amazing team of accomplished therapists and counselors!

When working with couples, I place a high emphasis on Imago Relationship Therapy or the “unconscious image of similar love” with a strong focus on empathy in marriages and partnerships. I love working with individuals as well and when I do, I prefer to use an approach of Narrative Therapy where I am the partner and the client is in the driver’s seat!

When not working, I place a great deal of energy into self-improvement. Full disclosure, I used to be obese class 1 for a decent length of my life and I decided that I wanted to take my life in a different direction. I have strong empathy for the struggles of weight management and athletic performance pressure. For the past 15 years, I have been working as a business leader in corporate America and am quite familiar with the pressures that go with competitive career management that affect so many other parts of life. I love working with sexual minority clients as well as heterosexual clients and provide an inclusive approach!
