Feeling down, unheard, stuck, or lost? You don't have to face it alone.

Hi, I'm Cameron, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten years of experience helping individuals navigate life's toughest challenges. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, major life transitions, or simply feeling disconnected, I'm here to help you move forward with compassion and understanding. I offer a personalized approach to therapy that aligns with your unique needs and goals. We'll collaboratively address concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, dysphoria, escape behaviors, substance use, and other related issues.

For lasting change, I utilize a variety of effective therapeutic methods, including: Strengths-Based, Trauma-Informed, Person-Centered, Acceptance & Commitment (ACT), Narrative, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral. As a yoga and mindfulness practitioner, I also integrate somatic techniques for truly holistic healing.

Hello, I’m Dr. Andrew Buchanan, a licensed clinical psychologist in Nevada. I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Palo Alto University in 2021 and became licensed to practice independently in Nevada in 2025.

I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for adults facing a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and other serious mental illnesses. I also specialize in cognitive rehabilitation and remediation for individuals experiencing cognitive changes related to brain injury, developmental disorders, or psychotic disorders.

My professional experience includes providing psychological services in nonprofit mental health agencies, county behavioral health programs, and state-operated forensic facilities. In addition to psychotherapy, I offer psychological and neurocognitive evaluations when appropriate.

I also enjoy working with caregivers who are experiencing stress or burnout related to their caregiving duties. Supporting those who dedicate themselves to caring for others is an important part of my practice.

I have over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. Originally from Brazil, I worked as a social worker for 15 years before relocating to the United States to pursue my master’s degree.

For the past five years, I have worked in school settings supporting children and adolescents as a school-based mental health professional. During this time, I have completed extensive training in areas including family systems, trauma, autism, ADHD, grief, learning disabilities, and behavioral crisis interventions.

I am a passionate advocate for the well-being and safety of children and families, and I am committed to providing compassionate, culturally responsive support.

"Before I became a therapist, I was a high school English teacher, a

college professor, and a yoga instructor. That path wasn't random

— each role taught me something different about how people

grow, get stuck, and find their way back to themselves. I bring all

of that into my practice now.

I work with adults across Nevada via telehealth who are wrestling

with anxiety, people-pleasing patterns, trauma, and self-worth.

Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside and

exhausted on the inside. They've tried pushing through. They've

read the books. They come to me when they're ready to actually

go somewhere different.

I'm also a Level II Reiki practitioner and E-RYT advanced yoga

teacher — which means I understand that healing isn't just

cognitive. The body is part of this too, and I take that seriously."

I'm Russ! As your therapist, it is my goal to see you become a better version of yourself. Asking for help is not easy for many, and you're to be commended for taking that first step. Life's challenges can be difficult to navigate, and everyone needs some help from time to time. I have seen a multitude of clients of all ages with diverse backgrounds. Being a good listener and having a non-judgmental approach are two of the things people ask for most in a therapist. With me, you will get both of those things! I am always present when my clients are experiencing stressful life challenges. My areas of expertise include Depression, Anxiety, Men's Health, Trauma, PTSD, Grief Issues, and Couples Therapy, I am specifically very experienced and specialized with Anxiety Disorders. I use a Cognitive Behavioral and Humanistic approach to help my clients bring out the best in themselves, but am also able to help those who may need to be in therapy more short-term with Solution-Focused therapeutic approaches. I like to use humor, challenging questions, and a direct approach. I think that growth and progress come from addressing the difficult issues head-on, but we can also make therapy a little more fun along the way.

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.

I am a licensed therapist (LCSW) specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders including (GAD), nerodivergence,couples therapy, depression symptoms, adolescents & trauma.

I work with individuals experiencing chronic anxiety, rumination, panic symptoms, emotional overwhelm, burnout, and mood-related challenges. I provide structured support to help clients manage symptoms, improve emotional regulation, and develop effective coping skills.

I also specialize in couples therapy and relationship counseling, supporting partners with communication issues, recurring conflict, trust concerns, emotional disconnection, and attachment-related patterns.

I offer LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and provide a safe, inclusive environment for clients of all identities and relationship structures. My work is collaborative and evidence-based, focused on symptom reduction and relational improvement. I like to consider myself as a "thought partner" that cultivates and provides a "safe space" for individuals, I assist.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado, Nevada, and Massachusetts, and have been practicing therapy professionally for over 15 years.
