Jody Nelson, LMSW

He/Him/His

​

Jody Nelson, LMSW, has been a therapist in the Lansing area for over 20 years. He loves coffee, laughter, books, and dogs, but he’s somehow found himself currently living with two cats.  He REALLY loves talking with people who want to develop insight and skills in learning how to manage issues of trauma, depression, anxiety, and significant life changes that feel overwhelming and scary at times.

​

Jody has years of experience as a clinical supervisor for other therapists and is particularly skilled at helping them navigate their own issues while they help others. He is a frequent trainer, presenter, and group facilitator.  He has taught advanced courses for Michigan State University’s Graduate School of Social Work’s Continuing Education program and has a reputation for helping people to feel comfortable and safe while tackling tough life struggles in both group and individual settings. He’s also known for making people laugh. Sometimes they’re even laughing with him, not at him. 

 

Jody leads some groups at North Star Wellness Center, so if you’re a guy looking for support with life changes, or if you’re a therapist interested in building your clinical self-confidence and skills, he might have a group opening for you.  He offers free brief consults for all his services if you are on the fence but want to learn more.
