About Nelson Parker, M.S.W., R.S.W.

My Background as a Therapist and approach to Psychotherapy

My approach to therapy has been developed over many years, helping people to deal with many of life's challenges. I began working in children's mental health, as both a child and family therapist.

I then went on to work exclusively with adults, and was focussed on working with the LGBT Community and with men infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. I am a Registered Social Worker and am a Member of the College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers.
