About Drew Nelson (He/Him)

Drew is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor. He graduated from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota with a Master of Arts Degree in Counseling and Psychological Services, and a Graduate Certificate in Addiction Studies.

Drew uses an integrative style drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused and strengths-based techniques, as well as existential approaches to facilitate growth within his clients. He views therapy as a safe place for individuals to explore and process their lived experiences, and seeks to provide a warm and accepting environment in which to support his clients in achieving their goals.

Drew has experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds who struggle with both mental and chemical health. Prior to joining LifeStance, Drew worked as a Co-Occurring Disorder Specialist on an Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team in Washington County.
