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 am a compassionate and dedicated mental health professional with a strong passion for helping individuals navigate emotional challenges, life transitions, and personal growth. I hold a Master’s degree in General Family Therapy and a Master’s degree in Psychology specializing in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Since 2015, I have worked in the psychology and behavioral health field serving diverse populations across various clinical settings.

Throughout my professional experience, I have supported individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, stress, emotional dysregulation, behavioral challenges, self-esteem difficulties, relationship concerns, grief, and life transitions. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, families, and individuals from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their healing journey.

I value authenticity, empathy, and meaningful human connection in therapy. I believe healing begins when individuals feel emotionally safe and supported while learning practical tools to improve emotional wellness and daily functioning. Outside of my professional work, I appreciate creativity, mindfulness, personal growth, and the importance of maintaining balance and self-care in everyday life.

Most people don't come to therapy because life is perfect. They come because they're tired of living the same painful loop and wondering when something is finally going to change. That's where I come in. I'm Jared, and I work with individuals and couples of all ages across Nevada by telehealth. I help people who feel stuck in patterns rooted in trauma, including anxiety, depression, OCD, grief, and substance use. Whether you're a single parent juggling everything, a couple working to reconnect, or someone tired of carrying it alone, I would love to help.

Therapist

Hi, I'm Kim. I'm a warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth therapist who believes that healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. As an immigrant and bilingual professional, I understand that life's transitions can bring unexpected challenges, uncertainty, and feelings of being caught between different expectations or versions of yourself. I know how difficult it can be to ask for help when you're used to carrying so much on your own.


My approach to therapy is collaborative, authentic, and nonjudgmental. I want you to feel comfortable showing up as you are, without pressure to have everything figured out. Together, we'll explore what's weighing on you, recognize the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build on the strengths you already have. I believe growth doesn't mean having all the answers; it means learning to navigate life's challenges with greater self-awareness, confidence, and self-compassion.


In our work together, I'll combine empathy with practical, evidence-based strategies tailored to your needs and goals. Whether you're navigating anxiety, difficult life transitions, relationship challenges, or feeling disconnected from yourself, my goal is to help you develop healthier coping skills, strengthen your relationships, and create meaningful change. You don't have to figure everything out on your own. Therapy can be a place to pause, reconnect with yourself, and take steps toward a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.
