Heartwork Counseling Center is a small, intentionally built practice founded by husband-and-wife team Ian and Christina Nelson-Johnson.
We believe meaningful change begins with paying attention—to ourselves, our relationships, our experiences, and the ways we move through the world.
That's what we mean by heartwork.
Being willing to look honestly at what's happening.
Growth often begins with understanding ourselves more clearly—our patterns, relationships, experiences, values, and the things that matter to us.
Doing the work in relationship.
You don't have to figure everything out on your own. Therapy and coaching can give you room to slow down, ask difficult questions, try something different, and be met with honesty and respect along the way.
Being human.
We don't have a secret formula for a problem-free life—and we don't pretend to. We're therapists, a coach, partners, parents, and people who are still learning. We approach our work with humility, curiosity, and a commitment to continued growth.
Heartwork isn't about becoming a better version of yourself. It's about understanding yourself more so you can live with greater intention and connection.
