Therapists Beginning With W in Nevada

Feeling a bit lost and not quite yourself lately? Brené Brown said: "What we don't need in the midst of struggle is shame for being human." I get how tough it can be when things feel out of control. If you’re struggling with anxiety, trauma, self-esteem concerns, or nervous system dysregulation, I work with you in focusing on your strengths, finding clarity, building strong connections, and helping you feel confident to tackle life's ups and downs.

Welcome and congratulations on taking that very first step in seeking help. In this moment you may be feeling stuck or hopeless, maybe you have tried and tried and just can’t seem to get unstuck. Maybe you keep hearing about old trauma on social media and are wondering what that is all about. Maybe you are a first responder or other medical professional and are starting to notice you may have been compartmentalizing more than before. Maybe you are pregnant or in your first year postpartum and are struggling to cope and manage it all. Whatever it is for you, I look forward to collaborating with you to find hope solutions and healing.

Seeking to help individuals who deal with depression, stress, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse and alcoholism.

All people can face adversity sometime in life. Difficult and trying times, mental illness, relationships difficulties, adjustment to life circumstances, chronic pain, loss, or internal struggles are not what define us, but the way in which we respond reveals our strengths and builds true resiliency. This may be your time to reach out and seek professional help. I can help those searching for mental and emotional relief by shifting negative thought patterns, changing problematic behavior patterns, and regulating emotions. Increase confidence and hope in your abilities to overcome any challenge in life.

I am a USAF veteran, completed my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2014 and have worked steadily since, specializing with victims of abuse and other trauma and inpatient psychiatric counseling and evaluation.

I am committed to helping clients; those who internalize and struggle to find their voice and those who externalize and struggle to maintain a space for themselves outside of the opinions and labels of others. I help clients develop their own value system in utilizing their voice while learning to tap into reaching their full potential, however that may look. A major barrier to reaching one's potential or to experiencing a spectrum of healing beneficial to the client, is often rooted in trauma from childhood, adulthood, or that is on-going. I specialize in examining transgenerational trauma and its continued effects on the psyche.

Seeking therapy can often be difficult for some. Especially when many of us have been conditioned to believe we have failed if we can't solve our problems on our own accord. We often feel that we are supposed to function under high stress, with strength being defined as "how much burden we can carry in silence". We learn things through experience and often do not know how to address or resolve some of our negative experiences. I am here to help and support you through that. No matter where things may be rooted, there is truth in knowing beyond the lens of silence, peace can be cultivated.

I have worked with the elderly, chronically ill, and terminally ill populations. My interest areas include those dealing with complex grief, dealing with life transitions, and coping and acceptance of chronic or terminal diseases, however, I am open to working with clients of various needs and backgrounds, to include the geriatric population and military veterans.

Humbly, I am Kathy Williams, Therapist, Social Worker and Advocate providing Mental Health and Substance Abuse Recovery Support to families and individuals. A graduate of Jane Adams School of Social Work at the University of Illinois, I have over 30 years of experience assisting adult men and women, adolescents and children. In my journey as a Therapist, I have provided direct care, and clinical management to private hospitals, non-for-profit agencies and in private office settings.

Reaching out for support is hard. You are brave for being here! My name is Julia Ewanowski. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I also have my Masters of Public Health. I specialize in perinatal mental health, or mood and anxiety changes that happen before, during & after pregnancy, perinatal trauma, OCD, grief & loss, infertility, parenting struggles, adoption and relationship conflicts. I also treat the mental health conditions that can accompany chronic health conditions, health-related traumas, terminal illness & caregiver burnout.

I am dedicated to helping individuals and families reach their full potential. We can never change past life experiences, but we can look to the future and make good choices starting today. I can work with you to help you find new and exciting ways to build better relationships with yourself and the people in your life. Together, we will look at how life experiences help to shape thoughts, behaviors, and communication styles. Together, we will find out how past choices and influences can be used to improve the quality of self-esteem, personal relationships, and self-satisfaction.

Have you tried everything to feel “normal” and still feel wounded, damaged, or out of control? If this is you, it’s time to step out of the solitary confinement of your mind and allow a healer to guide you. After all, being with a therapist is a relationship that can go beyond any other. For your therapist may know every secret and dark thought you've had, and hold trust that you've never gifted to anyone. When you ask for help, you’re expecting skills, processing, for "it" not to hurt so bad. Being gifted to heal people from their trauma creates a sense of owing the world my best effort at the work I love.

I love the collaborative and creative work of therapy. I see my role, not only as a trained practitioner of clinical modalities, but also as one of a midwife or gardener. I believe each of us has the wisdom of what we need to heal within us. It is not my job to teach you how to be a better person or to become whole . . . our work in therapy is to help you remember that you are and always have been—whole. Together we compost the trauma of the past and rotate, turn it, and bring it to light so that it can fertilize the soil for growth. I work with children, families, couples, and individuals of all ages.

I enjoy joining my individual clients and couples/relationship clients on their walk towards goals they feel will help them create the life they want to live. We can choose to take any obstacles we might face and examine them with a lens of curiosity, understanding, and compassion. I hold the personal and professional stance that we build resilience through diversity and honoring all parts of ourselves: past, present, and future. This helps to organize our goals and to make room for any potential growth edges that need to smoothened out. I lead with my whole self into meetings and I invite anyone I work with to do the same!
