About Chalice Nelson

"Psychology is in everything we do. From the way that we walk, to the way that we talk... It guides us throughout life's journey."

Chalice Nelson is a Nationally Certified Counselor with over 10 years experience within the mental health field. It was while attending the illustrious Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University that her interest within the field of psychology was fueled by work completed with renowned professors and programs, such as with St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. She later obtained a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from St. John Fisher College. Since then, she has worked with various populations including: substance use, the developmentally delayed, adults and child and adolescents.

TheConsciousQueen.com was a figment of her imagination for nearly 4 years. As she witnessed the disparity within the therapeutic services Black and Brown people were provided, she worked diligently to create a platform to validate the challenges they face and encourage them to seek the help they need. Thus, TheConsciousQueen.com launched in October of 2017, inspiring others through unique posts, clothing and accessories to "Be Conscious. Be True. Be Creatively You."
