Nelson Saez
I have a strong passion for making a difference in people’s lives. I received my Master of Social Work degree with a mental health concentration from San Jose State University’s College of Applied Sciences. Additionally, I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts with a major in Political Economy of Industrial Societies from the University of California Berkeley. My academic achievements and diverse range of studies have equipped me with a unique skill set and cultural incites.
My diverse and exceptional skillset empowers me to approach every therapeutic treatment with a multi-dimensional perspective, coupled with the cognitive clarity to adapt my interventions to the individuality and personal attributes of each and every one of my clients.
I recognize that every client is unique, with a distinct set of needs and circumstances that require a tailored approach. Through my training and experience, I have honed my ability to empathize with my clients and to cultivate a deep understanding of their psyche. This allows me to provide interventions that are compassionate and effective, while always keeping in mind the unique qualities that make each individual special.
As a licensed therapist registered with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (LCSW #98554), I have extensive experience working with individuals of all ages who have struggled with mental health challenges. I spent three years working in an outpatient clinic, where I provided compassionate care to children and adults coping with severe depression, anxiety, eating disorders, PTSD, and other trauma-related emotional imbalances. Over the past eight years, I have helped numerous individuals overcome obstacles, improve their social integration, and enhance their overall quality of life. My passion for promoting mental wellness, coupled with my expertise in evidence-based therapeutic approaches, has enabled me to facilitate positive and lasting change in the lives of my clients.

There is no substitute for the healing that human presence and genuine connection can provide. We each hold the capacity for healing and are able to achieve well being with effective therapy. Whether it is through challenging life stages, anxiety, depression, relationship issues or periods of self discovery-we could all benefit from an alliance that will help us navigate the complexities of being human. I embrace an approach that can be best described as relaxed, empathic, and collaborative, creating an environment that promotes lasting changes.
Through my years of experience, I have successfully assisted individuals overcome struggles with mental health as well as supported couples to develop more effective communication and gain a deeper sense of connection. I also worked for four years in the treatment of substance abuse, where I provided a nondogmatic approach that allowed each individual to set their own objectives and envision what recovery looked like in their life. This method allowed for more effective coping, and deeper connection to oneself and the meaningfulness of life.
As each person is unique, therapy shouldn’t be one size fits all. That is why I base my work on a variety of evidence-based modalities for a personalized approach. The most prominent modalities which I base my practice on are: Internal Family Systems (IFS) where I help clients identify different parts of themselves to help them clarify their needs and resolve their inner conflicts in order to integrate them into a harmonious and balanced whole; and CBT where I assist clients change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress.
I received my Master’s Degree from John F. Kennedy University, with a focus on Depth and Transpersonal Psychology and an emphasis in the integration of psychedelic experiences.
I look forward to being part of your journey towards healing, growing, and ultimately thriving. También proveo servicios en español.
