Hi, I’m Chris Brace (he/him), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and LGBTQ+ affirming couples therapist based in Las Vegas, NV. I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) — an evidence-based approach that helps partners break out of painful patterns, heal from disconnection, and reconnect in deeper, more secure ways.
I support couples and individuals navigating conflict, communication struggles, infidelity, emotional distance, premarital questions, and relationship ambivalence. My practice is especially attuned to the needs of queer, neurodiverse, and nontraditional relationships (including CNM and polyamorous partners). I strive to create a warm, inclusive, and judgment-free space where all identities and emotions are welcome.
For couples in crisis or those wanting to deepen their connection quickly, I also offer 2–3 day EFT Couples Intensives — an immersive, premium service outside of insurance designed to accelerate progress in just a weekend. I balance this with making weekly therapy available through Cigna and Aetna (via Headway), so couples can choose between a traditional path and a concentrated, cash-pay option.
I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), and I have advanced training in EFT. I’m also invited annually as a facilitator for national EFT trainings on LGBTQ+ inclusivity, where I help other clinicians build affirming skills.
If you’re ready to get unstuck and reconnect, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. You can book a free consult or schedule with your Cigna or Aetna insurance via Headway.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, compassion, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore life's challenges, gain insight, and develop the tools needed to create meaningful and lasting change.

I understand that each person's experiences are unique, so I tailor treatment to meet your individual needs, strengths, and goals.
Do you feel buried under the heavy weight of depression, or find your days derailed by intense mood shifts you can’t seem to control? Living with trauma or bipolar disorder can feel like an exhausting, lonely battle, leaving you feeling disconnected from the people and life you love. You might be constantly managing anxiety, stress, or relationship strain, wondering if you'll ever find solid ground. You do not have to navigate this darkness alone. You deserve a space where your pain is met with deep understanding, and where your story is heard without judgment.

Trauma leaves us feeling broken, unhappy, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up with feeling anxious and overwhelmed in your relationships, feeling hopeless or not good enough. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to rediscover yourself and find out who you are. You’re ready to have freedom from your past trauma. Most of all, you’re ready to experience fulfilling and healthy relationships!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Carson City
Searching for therapists in Carson City starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or a major life transition. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show their approach to care, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.
In a smaller city like Carson City, the number of nearby therapists may be more limited than in larger Nevada markets. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still keeping you connected with a therapist licensed in Nevada. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and experience with concerns similar to yours.
Therapy in Carson City can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you choose between virtual and in-person options when available. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
