Female Therapists in Washoe County, NV

Therapy is about you! It is only natural for humans to want to understand why they feel the way they do; desiring to connect with their experiences. Therapy is the personal process of helping us grow in understanding ourselves, our relationships, and our history. Everyone has their own story to tell. With therapy we can begin that journey of discovery, helping to uncover parts of our personal stories that may have felt very disconnected for a long time.

I believe everyone can benefit from therapy. Therapy is a space where you can safely explore your deepest emotions and scariest thoughts, learn and practice new skills, and find additional resources. I can support you as you grow into the version of yourself you feel most proud to be. I can help you grow as an individual, improve your relationship as a couple, or help break unhealthy cycles in your family. I also work with divorced/separated couples who are co-parenting - this can be really difficult work, but it's so important for the health of your children and family in the long-run! Whatever your goals are for therapy, it takes

Time and Again ...we give our best efforts to rediscovering the marvelous qualities common to the early stages of falling in love and to evoking the richer dimensions of family life, and yet... We end up ...confused and disappointed, broken-hearted, enraged and ready to quit. Why? Because ...few of us were taught how to cultivate the emotional resources and practical skills for negotiating the daily complexities of living and loving. But the art of living --like all art--requires skill, discipline and persistence. Individuals and families who take this path do so because their love for whom they love demands it.

Do you feel overwhelmed by a chronic health condition? Do you push your limits to get through the day? Are you finding it difficult to accept your "new normal" while mourning the life you once had? Do thoughts of the future feel overwhelming? It's completely natural to experience frustration, anxiety, or depression during a health crisis or life transition. If you've been dealing with these issues on your own, and you want to regain control and discover ways to thrive despite your challenges, I'm here to help. Together, we will develop strategies that empower you to reclaim your sense of self and lead a balanced and purposeful life.

My work can be characterized as client centered, empathetic and collaborative. My goal is to help inspire and empower you. This will be a journey in which together we will identify and explore issues, either past or present, that have prevented you from living a happy and well balanced life.

People often come to me because they are experiencing effects of complex trauma, life and relationship stressors, caregiving, or chronic illness. I frequently work with emerging adults who are navigating the transition into adulthood, with all of its promise and challenges. Therapy is a space where we will work together to understand the stories that have made up your life to this point and the stories you would like to live out in your future. You can expect for me to meet you with curiosity and care to support your movement toward hope and meaningful change.

I work with individuals who are seeking treatment for anxiety, eating disorders, depression, relational issues, and trauma. I'm also deeply dedicated to helping couples navigate communication, relationship conflicts, and life transitions. My name is Courtney, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern. My educational background includes a BA in Psychology with a specialization in research, and an MA in Marriage, Family, and Couples Counseling from the University of Nevada, Reno.

(I currently have some limited immediate openings!) Therapy is a journey that an individual needs to be ready to partake in; what that journey looks like is up to the person seeking it. I offer support in my clients' journeys. I provide a safe, understanding, non-judgmental environment, that is focused on support and respect. My goal is to help others through trials and tribulations that can come with life, and to help them heal by balancing life along with mental health. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and strongly believe in supporting all minority populations (Yo hablo español).

In the tapestry of life, our relationships weave the most intricate patterns. If you find yourself yearning for richer connections, a deeper understanding of emotions, and a transformative experience in your interpersonal relationships, you've come to a place where these aspirations can flourish. I am here to accompany you on this exploration, helping you navigate the twists and turns of your healing journey. Together, we will work to unlock the resilience within you, allowing you to rewrite the narrative of your past and move towards a future filled with hope and possibility.

We are currently accepting new clients for telehealth appointments! We are a team of highly skilled and empathetic professionals who are committed to providing exceptional mental health services. We believe in creating a safe and supportive environment for our clients to embark on their journey towards healing and personal growth. We work with individuals, couples, and families who have experienced relationship issues, childhood/PTSD/chronic trauma, chronic illness, eating disorders, addiction, mood disorders, depression, and anxiety. We are also proficient in working with neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD, Autism and OCD.

I work with people who are ready to take control of their mental health, experience relief, and build resilience. My treatment philosophy is "together, forward" and I work with you to neutralize emotional pain, transform negative thoughts into an empowering growth mindset, and replace problematic reactions with healthy habits. I believe treatment should be goal-oriented, time-limited, and cost-effective and you can expect to develop specific goals, regularly track progress, and train outside of session to ensure therapy is working.

I believe the human spirit is very resilient and capable of continued growth and development throughout our lives. However, at times, each of us can feel overwhelmed by life's challenges. Strategies that worked previously are no longer providing results, leaving us feeling frustrated, lost, or despondent. During these times, there is benefit in seeking outside, objective counsel to help overcome the current challenge and assist one in returning to a healthy, productive life.

I am now accepting new individual clients 18+. I offer one office day on Wednesdays and teletherapy other days/times. I provide support and guidance within a safe and non-judgemental environment. Life can be overwhelming and sometimes even exhausting, but I’m here to begin a partnership with you. I’d love to help you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery through compassionate insight and effective strategies that promote well-being and self-empowerment. “Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light."

Therapy can be a decisive step toward greater contentment and joy in life but often we are in the greatest emotional pain when we decide to go. I offer a welcoming space for you to discuss the challenges in your life and my goal is to support your well-being and healing.

I can help individuals, families, and children heal from traumatic experiences. I can help you with relationship issues. The most important relationship is the one with yourself. I have experience working with self-esteem issues, domestic violence, child neglect, child trauma, adult trauma, and sexual assault cases. I use Virginia Satir, cognitive behavioral, and choice theories. Using play therapy techniques (both child directed and Gestalt), I can help children age 2 and up. I have training in helping people of all ages with Downs Syndrome.

Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow.

My hope is to help you identify your goals. While providing a safe space for your self-discovery, I will introduce you to tried and true approaches that will help you clarify today's problems, your dreams for tomorrow and identify past issues that led to present challenges. We are all continually moving through different spaces and phases of life, trying to establish who we are and what is important to us. Adjusting to a continuously changing environment can be difficult if you lack the support to grow and thrive. My objective is to supply you with these tools that will bring about your highest good now and as your move forward.

Welcome! I’m so happy you’re here. Acknowledging and accepting that you don’t always have to go it alone can be the first step on a healthier and more fulfilling road. It has been my great privilege to work with clients from many different backgrounds, all with one thing in common: a desire to achieve some form of growth and forward movement in their lives. I look forward to exploring what “growth” means to you and working together as a team to achieve the positive change you seek and deserve.
