Me! Kylee Nelson. Hi There.
I’ve spent my career working with children and families starting in 2013 in community mental health (case manager through graduate school then as a therapist) and in January 2020 started this practice focusing exclusively on Perinatal Mental Health. Through my work with perinatal clients I’ve realized that many of my clients are neurodivergent and didn’t know it until motherhood.
I’m also a mama myself and was inspired to work with this population after experiencing perinatal anxiety & OCD symptoms and struggling to find specialized support from a provider who was trained and understood what I was going through. Through my perinatal journey I also learned that I am a highly sensitive ADHDer. That’s what led me to specialize in perinatal mental health, especially with neurodivergent parents.
