Hi, I’m Eliza Ale-Finks, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker with more than 10 years of experience in mental health and a Master of Social Work degree. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, and major life transitions. My experience includes supporting military personnel, first responders, and individuals navigating high levels of stress and significant change. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.

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.

You’ve spent years protecting everyone else—your children, your partner, your household, and your career. It’s time to build a life you don’t have to constantly try to escape from. Real strength isn’t enduring a toxic cycle or silently surrendering your happiness; real strength is choosing the blueprint for your next chapter. If you are a dedicated father or mother quietly burning out to keep a fragile family dynamic intact, or a parent enduring the crushing grief of child estrangement, you do not have to carry this heavy isolation alone anymore.

For years, you may have believed that self-sacrifice was the ultimate proof of love. Society tells fathers to suppress their pain and keep producing, while telling mothers to give until they have nothing left. But holding everything together behind closed doors comes at a steep price. You end up feeling like an outsider in your own home, exhausted by the relentless pressure, or operating on autopilot. That persistent weight in your chest isn't a failure—it is your original self reminding you that protecting your family shouldn't require destroying your own mental health.

Clients who work with me quickly realize that I am not a passive therapist who sits in silence and nods. As a published author and clinician, I am a grounded, empathetic, and direct partner who deeply respects your time and intelligence. My practice is built around structured, real-world solutions rather than endless, circular processing. I bring warmth, clinical expertise, and enough practical humor into the room to immediately take the edge off the stress you've been carrying.

By taking this step to reclaim your emotional stability, identity, and personal peace, you aren't being selfish—you are becoming the steady, grounded leader and parent your family actually needs. Reaching out is often the hardest part, but you have already taken the first step. Let's begin rebuilding your peace today.

I strive to be warm, approachable, easy to talk to, and an excellent listener. I am not here to judge you. I am a mother of three children who are all grown up and I’ve experienced more than my fair share of life challenges. I don’t recommend any treatments or practices that I myself have not used.

I received my bachelor's in psychology from Utah State University and went on to get my Master of Social Work from the University of Utah. I specialize in treating OCD and Anxiety Disorders. I have worked in various locations including an intensive outpatient (IOP), middle school and private practice. I also have experience working with the aging population and the forensic population working toward competency restoration.

I’ve spent over 22 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, helping people just like you navigate life’s biggest challenges. I'm licensed in Texas, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada.

My personal belief is therapy is a space for growth, discovery, and healing. It’s a brave step, and I’m here to guide you.

Maybe you're tired of feeling anxious or depressed. Maybe you're working through a difficult loss or a past trauma. Whatever brings you here, we'll work together to find a path that feels right for you.

You will set the pace and the agenda of our sessions. One week we may work on day to day obstacles. The next week, we may work on past issues and traumas. It's YOUR TIME!

My approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, and I see therapy as a partnership focused on creating meaningful, practical change.
