Charles Nielsen, LPC

Chuck’s theoretical view is through an Adlerian prism – no judgment, no criticism, but rather teaching resilience, presenting new solutions, and finding congruence in all facets of our lives. Chuck uses many different theories and approaches to individualize his treatment unique to you, the individual. Chuck is a Navy Veteran of eight years, Father of three, Grandfather to two, and Husband. He has lived in eight states, traveled many parts of the world, engaged in extreme sports, hunting, fishing, and volunteer work. Chuck does not see Labels (Addicts, Alcoholics, Schizophrenics, Etc.), he sees People. People who are looking for new answers to their questions in life. As a Behaviorist, Chuck sees fear of “something” as what drives every behavior in life; fear of life demands control of life. It is that perceived need for control where people tend to lose control of themselves. Therefore, it is not the original crisis or event that defines us, but our response to it. Chuck does not see people as broken; more that they are in need of more effective and useful coping skills and strategies. Together, you will collaborate on new solutions for your personal journey through life that work for you.
