It is important to work with a professional who specializes in eating disorders (ED) and will use effective treatment strategies. I have specialized in working with ED for 20 years. I am certified by the Training Institute for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders and a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) through the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals. I completed an internship and fellowship at the Uni. of Chicago Hospitals Eating and Weight Disorders Clinic. I have been a clinical supervisor for 14 years, training doctoral students/interns wanting to specialize in treating ED and related concerns.

Has your child or adolescent’s behavior suddenly changed? Has your family undergone recent changes that could have impacted your child? Does your child appear more anxious since the pandemic? Has your child withdrawn from family, friends, or school? The demands for psychological services for children and adolescent mental health are at an all-time high, especially within the Las Vegas community. As a licensed psychologist, former educator/school counselor, and member of the Las Vegas community for the past 24 years I have an expansive understanding of the needs of children, adolescents, and families.

Far too often, people live their lives feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, depressed, and unmotivated. You don’t have to live this way! Therapy creates an opportunity to identify behaviors and ways of thinking that keep you “stuck” and give you the tools to move forward toward a more fulfilling life. I’ve been where you are. After 16 years of performing high-flying acrobatics on the Las Vegas strip, I discovered that my purpose is to help others improve their lives. Despite many obstacles, I left my career behind to pursue this dream and have never looked back. I want to help you find YOUR purpose!

You make sense in the context of your own story. Many of us suffer from complex trauma which comes from repeated experiences in childhood when we felt helpless or unable to control what happened to us. The way you perceive yourself & the world is a direct result of what's happening in your nervous system: your thoughts, your feelings, your behaviors, your health, your relationships. This often leads to anxiety, depression, burnout, relational issues, & low self-esteem. You CAN heal and reconnect with your most authentic self. I strive to create a warm, comfortable, and safe environment as we embark on your healing journey together.

Hello I am Marcia Hadley, LCSW. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state Nevada. I started working in mental health in 2001. I like to encourage a sense of curiosity and humor when working. I find that not only have my client’s been through tremendous struggles they are wanting to find genuine connections. The one thing I have realized is that people want to do their best. Sometimes we just need some love, kindness, and compassion to help us along the way. I believe it is important to have a strong, trusting, therapeutic relationship which allows people to live their best life.

You will develop and practice coping skills that allow you to manage your emotions more effectively. You'll learn to communicate better and improve your relationships. You will also increase your confidence by setting goals and accomplishing them every week. With your new skills, confidence, and healthier perspective, you'll be on your way to living the value-driven and meaningful life you want.

Life is messy. Relationships are messy. Struggling from trauma...really messy. Whatever you are going through may be leaving you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, dissatisfied, or even hopeless. I imagine you are here because you don't want to keep feeling this way. You may even be nervous about starting therapy, or worried your problem is too big or even too small for therapy. You might even ask "will a therapist even understand me or be able to help?" Deep down, we all want to feel understood and connected to others.

Who is DBT for?
DBT is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
