ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Nevada

I work hard to be clinically informed and Christ centered in all that I do with my clients.

Hi there, my name’s Ephraim and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience. My specialties consist of relationships, men’s issues, career counseling, and psychosomatic illnesses.

Whether it's individuals or couples, I'm happy to get to work with whomever comes my way. I do my best to facilitate a warm, trusting environment. I received my Bachelors degree in Child Psychology, working initially with the adolescent population before transitioning over to adults. I then received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. Looking forward to meeting with you soon!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado, Nevada, and Massachusetts, and have been practicing therapy professionally for over 15 years. Throughout my career, I have been privileged to support many different communities and I bring the skills and knowledge I've learned along the way into the work I do with my clients.

I focus on Sex Therapy, Trauma, Anxiety, Relationship Issues, Personal Growth and Development, Men's Issues, and Existential Issues. I utilize several approaches, including: Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and Somatic Therapy.

I am an EMDR trained therapist. I have specialized training in parts and memory, and substance abuse. I have over 9 years experience in the mental health field. I have experience treating issues related to both mental health and addiction. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, as well as, grief & loss among many other mental health issues. Si gusta recibir servicios de terapia en Español por favor pongase en contacto conmigo. Tengo entrenamiento especializado en trauma, ansiedad, depresion, perdida, y abuso de sustancias.

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.

Welcome to my practice!

I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology in 1998 from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and my Master's Degree in Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy in 2001 from UNLV as well. I have been seeing clients in private practice for over 25 years. I have been an AAMFT Approved Supervisor for over 15 years. I have worked in many capacities, including school counseling, teaching, juvenile justice, and community agency work. In April 2023, I began working as the Clinic Director at UNLV's Center for Individual, Couple, and Family Counseling at Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine. I continue to maintain a small private practice and supervise state interns in MFT and LCPC.

I have expertise in CBT, DBT, ABFT, EFT, and EMDR. I use a combination of attachment-based and trauma-informed theories, which provide strong foundations for healing and skill-building.
