Norman Nelson, MC, LMHC, SOTP (425) 744-0300
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
4630 200th St SW, Suite #K, Lynnwood, WA 98036
Niche Specialty©: Sexuality or Sexual Intimacy Issues (also Sexual Abuse or Sex Addiction). Sexual addiction counseling for pornography, cybersex, infidelity, excessively high or low sex drive, use of prostitutes and strip clubs, unwanted desires to cross-dress, voyeurism, exposure, or any other fetishes and behaviors that are having a negative affect on your personal and professional life and financial resources.
Location: Bentley Office Park, next door to Lynnwood Transit Center
General Practice Area: My clients are men, women, and adolescents who have been engaging in unwanted sexual behavior that is out of control and destructive to self and the intimacy of the marriage. This type of sexual behavior is victimizing. Generally, the issue is pornography or cybersex, but there are a host of sexual behaviors and preferences that ultimately damage self-worth, the marriage, family and career. Internet pornography is highly addictive for men, and can lead to sexual deviancy. For women, the internet provides easy access to cybersex to satisfy unfulfilled intimacy needs. Regardless, these sexual outlets are highly addictive and can rapidly become a serious issue requiring professional help. Without assistance, these behaviors can destroy marriages, and can lead to risky unsafe, illegal behaviors.
Many of my clients are already involved in the legal system. I am licensed to perform state-certified mental health evaluations, sexual deviancy assessments, and sex offender treatment. I strive to provide an environment that is non-judgmental, safe and confidential to explore these very personal issues. My private practice utilizes accepted evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in individual counseling or group therapy. Since healthy sexuality is relational, I encourage spouses/partners to become an integral part of the therapeutic process. It is my belief that the best intervention for destructive sexual behavior is to restore healthy intimacy with partners

Location: Located one block south of the Lynnwood Transit Center and one block east of Scriber Lake. Across the street from Scriber Creek Park.
General Practice Area: I provide therapy for individuals, family and married couples.

Areas of clinical focus for me are criminal justice and mental health (adolescent and adult), sexuality education and diversity in families and individuals, and working with at-risk or just plain tough teenagers.

I believe that our families have a strong influence on our thoughts and behaviors and I often work from a family/systemic perspective.

Once in the moderate to severe stages, I require that my clients see a physician, and usually, and a dietitian during at various times during treatent. When helping those with anorexia or bulimia, I focus on body image including body dismorphia and emotions related to food and weight, especially anxiety and co-occuring depression. Art is often used during sessions, and I frequently give homework to be completed between sessions.

Age, problem areas, and goals, influence my counseling approach. Children and adolescents often have problems at school and at home due to ADD or ADHD, verbal or nonverbal processing challenges, school anxiety, and mood disorders due to divorce or other life changes. I coach parents and team with teachers, medical doctors, and with psychologists who provide in-depth assessment when the source of the problem is unclear. Children and teens are frequently referred by Children's Hospital and other physicians. Adult clients come for help with depression, anxiety, ADD and ADHD, trauma, and recovery from trauma.
