Bridging the gaps between psychotropic precribers and therapists
Dr. Nelson’s Direct Email: [email protected]
As a practicing physician since 2005, Dr. Nelson has worked in hospitals internationally following graduation from medical school in Germany. Since 2008 he has worked as a hospital-based internal medicine physician in Minneapolis with an emphasis on the medical needs of psychiatric in-patients. His passion is to increase psychopharmacological awareness among mental health professionals.
I’m passionate about bridging communication and information gaps between medical and mental health professionals. Often ignored, it is imperative that psychotherapists and psychologists have basic understanding of neuroanatomy and psychopharmacology.
I empower providers from across the mental healthcare spectrum to support relationships between their patients and their patients’ med prescribers.
Through Fern Counseling, Dr. Nelson teaches mental health professionals and does not see individual clients.
