Hi! I'm Dr. Heather Blondin. I completed my DO degree at Touro University Nevada and my Psychiatry residency at Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV. I am board-certified in Psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and psychosis. While everyone is welcome, I particularly enjoy working with women, college students, healthcare professionals, and those navigating life transitions.
Please note: I cannot prescribe controlled substances for patients located outside of Nevada.
Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, and I believe finding the right therapist is one of the most important parts of the process. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and accepted without judgment.
I specialize in helping adults navigate trauma, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm. As an EMDR-trained Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience in crisis stabilization and outpatient therapy, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. My focus is not only on reducing symptoms but also on helping you understand yourself more deeply, build resilience, and create lasting change.
I strive to balance compassion with honesty. Therapy with me is collaborative—we’ll celebrate progress, gently challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and move at a pace that feels right for you. I believe healing isn’t about becoming someone different; it’s about reconnecting with the strengths that have always been within you.
Whether you’re working through past trauma, feeling stuck in anxiety, navigating a major life transition, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, we’ll work together to develop practical tools and meaningful insight so you can move forward with greater confidence and peace..
I approach therapy as a collaborator. My method is client-centered and humanistic. I aim to accompany my clients in achieving the goals brought into the therapeutic environment with openness, empathy, and compassion. Creating goals in small steps is vital for progress and change. Identifying insecure attachment and dysfunctional patterns will lead to lasting change. My clients can learn to recognize unhealthy cycles and gain a deeper understanding of their attachment styles.
Currently, I do not provide therapy for couples or minors.
Provides psychiatry care services to patients ages 6 &up.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Las Vegas, NV
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Las Vegas starts with looking for identity-affirming care. The right therapist should have experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people with concerns such as identity exploration, relationship stress, family conflict, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Look for therapists who list affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, WPATH training, or LGBTQIA+-affirming care in their profiles. These details can help you find someone whose training and specialties match what you want to address in therapy.
Las Vegas has many therapists across neighborhoods and surrounding areas, which can make it harder to narrow your options. Virtual therapy can also expand your search if you want more choice in LGBTQIA+-affirming care or need a schedule that fits around work, school, caregiving, or commute time. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach. Reading bios can help you see whether a therapist works with LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, or families, including people searching for lesbian therapy, LGBTQIA+ couples therapy, or gay marriage counseling.
Therapy in Las Vegas can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and seeing your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking can make the process clearer. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, with many accepting new patients and offering in-person or virtual appointments, so you can compare bios, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
