About
Altius -Latin, higher or more deeply
Welcome –
I created Altius as a safe, compassionate and collaborative space for individuals who what to better understand themselves, navigate challenges and create meaningful change.
I believe meaningful change begins with understanding yourself, not fixing yourself.
Our mental health, physical well-being, relationships, behaviors and the way we move through life are deeply connected. When we take the time to understand these connections, we can begin to recognize patterns, develop new perspectives and make intentional choices about the life we want to live and create.
I approach therapy with compassion, curiosity and the belief that there is no single path to growth. Your experiences, challenges, strengths and goals are uniquely your own, and our work together should reflect that.
I incorporate evidenced-based modalities, including, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness-based practices. I use these approaches flexibly; and collaboratively, to help you develop greater self-awareness while building practical skills for navigating life more effectively.
Therapy is not simply about managing symptoms. It is also an opportunity to understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, strengthen your relationship with yourself, connect more deeply with your values and develop the capacity to respond to life with greater intention.
I look forward to working with you,
Hannah Nielsen, MA, LPC
