I have been a therapist for 10+ years. I received my Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Syracuse University. I have specialized training for trauma, anxiety, and attachment, depression, family systems, addiction, and perinatal and postpartum. My range of experience includes residential treatment programs for troubled teens, intensive outpatient, and community mental health. I love working with all ages.
Life is about maintaining balance in all aspects, through love. There is so much out there to learn and grow from, so why not have fun doing it? A little about me: I love going to CrossFit every morning. I am a huge nerd, constantly listening to audibles and/or podcasts such as Huberman Lab and non-fiction books. I enjoy being outdoors: snowboarding, motorcycle/dirt biking, hiking, any movement &traveling. My parents are from Peru, so I visit there often. Tambien hablo español! Therapy can help your understanding of where your emotions come from connecting the past to the present, and decreasing the intensity by making sense of it.
Currently, I am offering tele-health sessions only, with availability M-TH from 9:00am to 2:30pm. I am unable to offer appointments outside of these hours. If that works for you, let me know if you’re interested in booking a session, or if you’d prefer to start with a brief 10-15 minute phone consultation!
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.
I'm a Utah native who studied at the University of Utah in Pesychology and Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I've worked primarily in substance abuse and addiction, which includes depression, anxiety, family issues, and communication - all the things that come with it. In my 11 years or practice, I've picked up a lot along the way.
Hello, I am Shaon Primus LMFT, I am originally from NYC. I work with families, couples, teens, etc, with mental health and substance use.
I am a graduate of the University of Southern California with a Masters in Clinical Social Work, and received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles. I am also a certified 200 HR yoga instructor and Reiki practitioner. I bring a deeply integrative approach to healing, blending somatic therapies, mindfulness, and energy work with evidence-based interventions. I am also currently completing my PhD in Integral and Transpersonal Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies.
With a foundation in yoga, nervous system regulation, and spiritual practice, my work is rooted in guiding you to return to your own embodied truth through reinforcing resilience and post-traumatic growth. I primarily work with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and those navigating PTSD and other trauma related diagnoses.
I have been providing treatment for over 25 years. I'm very skilled and have focused on addiction treatment, depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health illnesses. I am very curious about your situation and would love to assist you.
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of Utah. I have worked in many different capacities that have always encompassed a helping component. I have experience in law enforcement, substance abuse, and marriage and couples counseling. I am direct in a caring and loving way, with a strong belief in doing no harm. I use Cognitive Behavioral and Solution Focused therapy, along with Motivational interviewing as therapeutic modalities. Why, you might ask? because they are as positive as I am!
As a social worker with seven years of experience in the field, I strive to work from an open, curious, and empowering approach in therapy. I've worked with a number of clients who struggle with various issues including anxiety, depression, and Bipolar Disorder among other things. I recognize the lasting effects trauma can have on a person and specialize in treating it, specifically using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
