LGBT therapists in Sparks, NV

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..

Hi! I'm Graciela. I am a bilingual trauma-focused therapist with advanced ivy-league training, graduate level education, extensive clinical experience — and a whole lot of grit in my no-nonsense approach to therapy. You can expect me to be authentic and real, down to earth, wise, and validating as we work together to help you feel better and reach your treatment goals as soon as we can. My job is to put myself out of the job as soon as possible. See you at the top!

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.
