Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Nevada

I am your partner in whole-person healing, and I am now accepting new patients. With nearly two decades of diverse nursing experience, my background spans psychiatry, oncology, palliative care, intensive care, hospice, and home health. This journey has given me a deep understanding of both physical and emotional health challenges.

I am known for building genuine connections with patients across all age groups. My approach is rooted in the belief that mental health is inseparable from physical well-being. I often view mental health symptoms not as disorders, but as signals of deeper imbalances—and I treat them with compassion and curiosity.

What Clients Should Know About Me

Hi, I’m Kelli, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience in the people-helping field. I’m dedicated to creating a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported—without judgment.

I work with a diverse range of clients. I am a Certified First Responder Counselor and also specialize in supporting collegiate to professional-level athletes. Drawing from my own life experiences, I’m passionate about helping those who are often expected to stay strong for others but need a safe space to nurture their own mental and emotional wellbeing.

Treatment areas include, but are not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, life transitions, performance enhancement, foster care and adoption, juvenile justice and corrections, abuse, and trauma.

I understand how overwhelming anxiety, depression, or chronic pain can feel, especially when you're caught in a cycle of fear and avoidance. It’s tough, but you don’t have to go through it alone. We can work through your struggles, find understanding, and create a path toward healing. If you're ready for change, I’m here to listen and support you.

I am a Christian Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My faith in the Holy Trinity of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit greatly shape my life, and my work. I believe you have everything you need within you to achieve your goals and heal.

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

Every person experiences seasons of life that can feel overwhelming. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, substance use, grief, or major life transitions, my goal is to provide a safe, collaborative, and evidence-based therapeutic experience where meaningful, lasting change can occur.

For nearly two decades, I have had the privilege of serving individuals, couples, and families throughout Nevada as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In addition to direct clinical practice, I have served as a Clinical Director, executive leader, clinical supervisor, consultant, educator, and program developer, helping develop innovative behavioral healthcare programs and clinical services across Nevada. These diverse experiences have allowed me to work with individuals from virtually every walk of life while treating a broad range of complex behavioral health concerns.

My approach is individualized, practical, and grounded in research-supported treatment. I integrate evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, and person-centered therapy to develop treatment plans tailored to each client's unique strengths, needs, and goals.

I believe people are far more than the challenges that bring them to therapy. My commitment is to provide compassionate, clinically excellent care while helping clients build resilience, strengthen relationships, overcome obstacles, and create healthier, more meaningful lives.

Trauma leaves us feeling broken, unhappy, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up with feeling anxious and overwhelmed in your relationships, feeling hopeless or not good enough. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to rediscover yourself and find out who you are. You’re ready to have freedom from your past trauma. Most of all, you’re ready to experience fulfilling and healthy relationships!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work and extensive experience supporting adults through anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

I specialize in working with individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, overthinking, self-doubt, or difficulty setting boundaries. Many of my clients are young professionals, high-achievers, caregivers, and deeply empathetic individuals who are used to carrying a lot for others and are ready to reconnect with themselves.

I’m passionate about helping clients understand their patterns, build confidence, strengthen emotional regulation, and create healthier relationships with themselves and others. Whether you are navigating anxiety, relationship stress, burnout, trauma, or a major life transition, I provide support and tools to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Clients often tell me they feel safe opening up fully in our work together. I create a warm, nonjudgmental, and comfortable environment where you can be your authentic self without fear of criticism or judgment.

I bring a balance of compassion and honesty, so you feel both supported and gently challenged. My goal is to help you feel understood while empowering you to make meaningful, lasting changes.
