Introduction

Hello, I am Karen Nelson a marriage and family therapist with a background in forensic addiction. I have a history of providing educational groups on anger management, communications, boundaries, parenting, life skills, self harm and recovery. I have worked with adults and children who have experienced severe trauma, depression and anxiety. I believe in holistic, collaborative treatment; assisting clients in discovering who they are, what they need and how to set healthy boundaries. I opened Olive Branch Family Therapy in 2021 to inspire hope and wellness in our community. I believe my calling is to "listen, learn, teach what I learn, share my experiences and give love freely."
