“My Passion is to Empower Women with the Necessary Strategies and Healing to Thrive with ADHD.”

I’m Kate Vessels, LISW-S and I am the founder of Nelsen Counseling Services. I’m not the therapist stereotype that sits back and asks “how does that make you feel?” I am active in sessions by providing support, empathy, validation, constructive feedback, education, skills/strategies, insights, accountability, and appropriate humor. I provide individual and group counseling for ADHD women. My goal is to help you feel comfortable and safe in order to share your experiences with ADHD.

Hi, I’m Kate.

About Me

I received my masters in social work from OSU in 2005 and undergraduate degree in psychology at Ohio University in 2003. In the past I have worked in various non-profit agencies and I was ready to pursue private practice for a better life balance.

I am the founder of Nelsen Counseling Services and I love what I do!  It may be confusing why my practice is named Nelsen Counseling Services when my last name is Vessels. I wanted to honor my maiden name by making it my business name. 

I was diagnosed with ADHD, inattentive type after I had children at age 40. It hit me hard. I’d been unknowingly masking ADHD symptoms and coped with perfectionism to protect myself. I felt something was off even though I had been successful in school, social situations, and jobs. This is my experience but every ADHD woman has their own story to tell. After my own discovery I am proud to be an ADHDer and maybe some day you can be too.

I live in Dublin, Ohio with my husband, two young children, and our micro Bernedoodle Miss Stella!

I have a huge heart for animals, enjoy spending time with family & friends, traveling, working out, Bravo TV, (I will talk forever about the Real Housewives and Vanderpump Rules), reading, and celebrity gossip (I probably should not have admitted this last part!) I look forward to meeting you and thank you in advance for trusting me with your care.
