Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Henderson, NV

Pleasure to meet you! As an LCSW and CBT psychotherapist specializing in substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. My clinical training at Simmons University emphasized psychology-focused clinical social work with additional focus in addiction treatment. I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, and unhealthy patterns that can leave people feeling stuck or disconnected from the life they want to build. My goal is to help clients create meaningful, lasting change, not just temporary relief.

I am Jennifer Ferguson. I knew I wanted to be a therapist when I was 13. After college, I was a teacher on and off-interspersed with staying home with children. While completing my counseling degree from Capella University, I was still able to stay at home with my children. I have worked at a drug rehab center for women, a small private school as their mental health therapist, at a mental health hospital outpatient program, and in private practice, virtually and in-person.

I understand how overwhelming anxiety, depression, or chronic pain can feel, especially when you're caught in a cycle of fear and avoidance. It’s tough, but you don’t have to go through it alone. We can work through your struggles, find understanding, and create a path toward healing. If you're ready for change, I’m here to listen and support you.
