Therapist

Virtual • Nevada


I am trained in some of the latest therapeutic techniques, including EMDR, DBT, and CBT. I don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach, but rather in meeting patients where they are. Together, we can work to fine-tune beliefs, regulate intense emotions, demonstrate compassion and self-regard, and quiet the inner critical voice often rooted in trauma.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Henderson

Finding addiction therapists in Henderson starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use patterns, cravings, triggers, and behavioral concerns. Some therapists focus on approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or relapse prevention planning. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it can help to read each therapist’s listed specialties, training, and approach before booking.

Henderson has a range of local therapy options, with additional access across the Las Vegas Valley through virtual appointments. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual sessions around work, school, caregiving, or transportation needs. Recovery often changes over time, so look for a therapist who describes a nonjudgmental approach and experience with substance use, trauma and addiction, alcohol use, drug use, or behavioral addiction. Provider bios can also show how sessions are structured, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and whether the therapist is accepting new patients.

Addiction counseling in Henderson can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, lets you check insurance coverage for your plan and location, and offers upfront cost estimates before you book. You can compare bios, filter by availability and appointment format, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
