About Therapy
Take the first step and seek the help you need.
I understand that considering therapy can seem challenging. However, I think it is a brave step because therapy provides a safe, supportive space where you don’t have to have everything figured out before you walk in.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I work with clients to understand what’s driving their distress, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful, sustainable change – at a pace that feels right for them.
As a therapist, I strive to offer a grounded, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment. I view therapy as a partnership and value authenticity, compassion, and curiosity in our work together.
In this space, our work depends on your needs. Together, we will work to help you address the issues that keep you stuck or make you doubtful.
Here’s what I can offer.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over 14 years of experience working with adults, teens, and families. My specialties involve helping individuals navigate anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss, relationship challenges, fertility and postpartum concerns, and caregiver burnout.
In my work with clients, I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Interpersonal Therapy, while tailoring treatment to each person’s unique experiences, culture, and values.
Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or “stuck,” and our work often focuses on helping them regain a sense of balance, confidence, and control in their lives.
One particular interest I have is working with caregivers who are used to taking care of everyone else and find it challenging to prioritize themselves without guilt. I also support individuals coping with relationship issues, grief, including the loss of loved ones, fertility-related losses, and other significant life changes. The goal is to help them understand how deeply these experiences can affect emotional well-being.

About Nelly Sawatsky, MA, LMHC, QS
Culture is important to me.
As a Russian and English-speaking therapist, I have extensive experience providing culturally sensitive therapy, particularly with immigrants, children of immigrants, and individuals from multicultural backgrounds.
I am mindful of how cultural values, family expectations, and generational experiences can shape emotional health, communication styles, and the therapy process itself.
As a culturally sensitive therapist, I believe in honoring each individual’s unique strengths and connections that shape their lives. My approach is client-centered, empowering, and supporting resilience.
My goal is to create a space where clients feel understood not only as individuals, but within the context of their cultural and family systems.
