Psychologist

Virtual • Nevada


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.

Sarah Brey

Sarah Brey

Therapist

Virtual • Nevada


"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.
