Life can sometimes feel like you're living beneath a sky full of dark clouds—overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by stress and burnout, or questioning your own worth. You don't have to navigate those seasons alone.

I'm Kayla Szykowny, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Nevada and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 13 years of clinical experience. I specialize in helping adults who are struggling with anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, and low self-esteem. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes.

Great to meet you. If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, anger, family conflict, stress, relationship challenges, substance use concerns, sleep issues, or the pressure to keep functioning while feeling stuck inside, therapy can help you slow down and begin making sense of what you are carrying. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families who want a safe, culturally sensitive, and supportive space to feel heard, understood, and empowered. I also support clients navigating LGBTQIA+ concerns, women’s issues, racial identity, trauma, grief, loss, addiction, chronic health concerns, and life stressors. My goal is to help you build practical tools for growth and healing while strengthening emotional awareness, communication, coping skills, and confidence in your ability to move forward.

People seek therapy because they instinctively know that by reaching out to make a connection, they can get a greater understanding and courage. I would like to assist you in the process of gaining better clarity in your life. Through this connection, we can discover a bridge that leads to your inner power and confidence. Working as a Critical Incident Stress Debriefing Counselor, I use several tools, including Mindfulness Techniques, Solution Focused Therapy, Functional Family Therapy, and practices from my book The "I AM" Solution. I want to empower you to find your potential and transformation. Peace and Blessings.

I began my journey in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2015 and am currently pursuing my doctorate. I work with clients seeking support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship and dating challenges, as well as those seeking a more fulfilling life.

I help you close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

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.

Hi, I’m Chris Brace (he/him), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and LGBTQ+ affirming couples therapist based in Las Vegas, NV. I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) — an evidence-based approach that helps partners break out of painful patterns, heal from disconnection, and reconnect in deeper, more secure ways.

I support couples and individuals navigating conflict, communication struggles, infidelity, emotional distance, premarital questions, and relationship ambivalence. My practice is especially attuned to the needs of queer, neurodiverse, and nontraditional relationships (including CNM and polyamorous partners). I strive to create a warm, inclusive, and judgment-free space where all identities and emotions are welcome.

For couples in crisis or those wanting to deepen their connection quickly, I also offer 2–3 day EFT Couples Intensives — an immersive, premium service outside of insurance designed to accelerate progress in just a weekend. I balance this with making weekly therapy available through Cigna and Aetna (via Headway), so couples can choose between a traditional path and a concentrated, cash-pay option.

I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), and I have advanced training in EFT. I’m also invited annually as a facilitator for national EFT trainings on LGBTQ+ inclusivity, where I help other clinicians build affirming skills.

If you’re ready to get unstuck and reconnect, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. You can book a free consult or schedule with your Cigna or Aetna insurance via Headway.
