Mrs. Nelson-Hemphill is very professional, and she is very patient and a great listener. She takes time to get to know her clients, and offers amazing feedback. I initially had reservations about starting therapy, because I tried it years ago, and quit. I wasn't in a place emotionally to benefit from it. I'm very blessed to now have a therapist that I feel comfortable talking to. I would highly recommend Mrs. Nelson-Hemhill to someone seeking therapy.

Hello! I am so glad that you reached out to us for help. I am FreEtta Nelson-Hemphill, and I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker. Most of my clients refer to me as "Fritzi". You are welcome to do so also!
I have worked with many individuals with diverse cultural identities and backgrounds over the past 20 years. My job is to help you become successful in any problem areas that have come up for you at this point in your life. To do this, I will spend time listening to you and asking questions in order to get a "picture" of your life. I want to understand what is working and what is not. After we do this, we can take the information that you have given me and establish your therapy goals.
Psychotherapy has both benefits and risks. It requires an investment of time and energy in order to make your process successful. I will, most often, approach our work together from a Cognitive Behavioral Treatment perspective. I believe: Oh Yeah! You can handle this! When you are able to those adjust or restructure those thought patterns and behavior (s) that are precipitating and maintaining the problem area(s), you will see the change you desire.
I look forward to meeting you in this season of your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I had my first session and I’m grateful for the strategies already in place!
Fritzi is attentive and helps you see it in a different way that results in a change in your thinking and your actions towards yourself. She's great!
FreEtta is an absolute gem. I'm so grateful she's a counselor on this platform. Her guidance helped me find so much clarity and grounding. It's been such a privilege to grow and learn throughout my sessions with her.
I really enjoy her ability to take a very stressful situation and break it down into much more calming manageable parts. Helping me see that I can achieve things that I once thought I would struggle with
Mrs. FreEtta has a warm presence that allowed me to feel comfortable from my initial session throughout my first month. She offers support and reality based feedback while also being relatable and professional as well!
I came to find Freetta, after a bad experience with a previous counselor. I took my time in searching, I am big in researching, and I cannot explain it, but there was something about her energy that I felt through simply seeing her photo, and knew her aura was of good. Boy, was I right and glad I was too lol! She has been really attentive, patient, and ensures she is understanding you, along with providing you with tools that may provide some insight into your personal journey. Thankful to have come across her.
She was spot on with me in the very first session! I see great things developing ahead and I am so excited to embark on this journey to a better me! Being matched with Fritzi was divine intervention.
