Hello, my name is Jared Nelson. I am a licensed clinical social worker. I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. I went to the University of Nevada, Reno for my undergrad in Anthropology and Psychology. I received my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from Arizona State University in 2018.
I specialized in male issues, sexual issues, porn addiction, internet addictions, gender issues in adults and children, sex issues, serious mental illness (SMI), substance abuse, depression, and anxiety.
I have a vast knowledge on LGBTQ+/GSM topics. I have worked at an acute rehab hospital, inpatient behavioral hospitals, adult/children behavioral programs, and outpatient clinics. I was an intern at the Arizona State Hospital: Civil and Forensic Units.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Jared has been and a good listener and helped reinforce behaviors and introduce methods that will help with my addiction issue. I respect his professionalism and knowledge of my subject mater.
