Therapists in Reno, NV

Hi there! Life can be difficult and messy. I strive to bring an empathetic, collaborative approach to helping you meet your goals. I love working with individuals, meeting you where you are, and helping you reach a path to living a life worth living.

I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults who are wanting to make changes to how they cope and manage their emotions and are ready to learn new ways of viewing themselves and the world around them. I believe in clients' ability to overcome life trials and tribulations with a steadfast and renewed dedication to life. Together, we will develop a strategy to assist you in becoming your best, boldest, and brightest self. I support the brains’ natural ability to gain new skills and recover from trauma and personal obstacles.

I enjoy and work primarily with women of all ages, as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I also focus attention on identity and career development, as well as tending to ever evolving relationship dynamics, including family of origin topics and sexual issues. I appreciate working with clients who are naturally curious, growth oriented, and open for feedback, as well as whom have goals of improving both communication and emotional expression throughout their lives.

I specialize in evidence-based treatments for trauma and insomnia in adults and teens. Trauma is an emotional response to stressful events. Trauma could stem from various life experiences such as physical violence, sexual assault, parental separation, job loss, accident, death, divorce, illness, military combat experiences etc. Symptoms of trauma include depression, anxiety, anger, hypervigilance, sleep issues and nightmares, trust issues, compromised immunity, chronic pain, low self-esteem, shame, guilt and relationship difficulties. If you suspect that past trauma is affecting your life and your relationships then there is help.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 17 years of education, training, and professional experience in providing psychological services for individuals, couples, and families. I believe that therapy should consist of creating a safe and supportive environment to promote personal growth. Having worked in a variety of settings, I have a breadth of experience and training to treat persons across the lifespan with differing mental health needs. I believe that the process of therapy, whether individual, family, or couples therapy, is a collaborative effort in which I join with you to find the path that best suits your needs.

My experience includes leading inpatient group therapy at West Hills Behavioral Hospital here in Reno with a diverse population, ranging from children to adults. I have worked with a variety of disorders including depression, anxiety, bipolar, borderline, schizophrenia, trauma and addiction. I am certified with Prepare/Enrich for premarital and marriage counseling. My clients are looking to find someone who understands, empathizes and can help them cope with their struggles. I am able to add a Christian perspective if requested.

I work with individuals and couples that desire to live in a manner more aligned with their unique values. My clients are curious and open minded about finding another way of living and relating to others. Often, their goals revolve around communication, confidence building, life satisfaction, time management and relationship improvement.

I have experience working with different types of trauma, anxiety/depression, grief, and self esteem. I have knowledge working with Veterans and first responders who are having trouble adjusting to new environments or traumatic work related crises. Trauma comes in many forms and can make your life feel permanently on hold, but there is hope. I have additional knowledge and training in medical injuries/diagnoses such as, Traumatic Brain Injuries, as well as Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS).

"Making the decision to be vulnerable takes courage. I embrace supporting others with compassion while working collaboratively to create change, mindful that redefining and moving through life can be daunting. Struggling with substance abuse, trauma, mood, relationships, or life's adjustments, each individual, couple, and family is treated with kindness and respect. Being defined by life circumstances and changing this worldview is possible with support. Holistically, each one of us is unique and no one truly experiences life like that of another. However, one commonality we all do share is the need to belong and matter. Namaste"

I am a Clinical Psychologist who has been in practice for over forty years, both inpatient and outpatient settings. I am working with adults and elderly. All treatments are based on my client's unique needs and interests and integration of data gathered during assessments. We anchor them together in evidence based modalities of treatment. I hold a Diplomate status with the Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy. I am an accredited member of the International Association of Logotherapy and Existential Analysis (LTEA), University of Vienna, Austria.

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.

New patient openings. I use scientifically supported treatments rooted in a safe and supportive environment to address a range of problems that often result from a difficult past or being stressed and overwhelmed, such as insomnia, anxiety, depression, interpersonal problems, chronic pain, anger, chronic disease, trauma, stress, grief, and others. Together, we will identify and understand the origins of the issues you are facing, and develop strategies to help you address them in a way that fits your life and your values, so you can live life to the fullest.

It is my belief that all individuals have inherent strengths that make them resilient. Focusing on those strengths is where I have found the most success in working with others. Utilizing cognitive behavioral theory (CBT) with a strength-based, person-centered approach when conducting individual, couples, family and group therapy is where I have seen the most success. I have experience working with individuals across the life span including children, teenagers, adults and seniors. I am ready to create a safe place to help you foster healing as well as accomplish your aspirations and goals to live your best life. Let’s connect!

The poet Mary Oliver writes, "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" This comes close to summing up my approach to life and to therapy. People who come to therapy are yearning for real growth and change, and my goal is to help them get there. I use an integrative, mindfulness-based approach to address a wide range of clients and issues. My goal is for every person who walks through my door to leave feeling more whole, hopeful, and healthy than when he or she arrived.

Hi! My name is Adrienne. I believe that we are created to live life abundantly. However, the reality is that we live in a broken world that is full of pain and heartbreak. This undercurrent of suffering & confusion as we can't help but think "it's not supposed to be this way." Sometimes, circumstances change, and sometimes, they don't. My desire is to walk alongside you and be a witness in your healing journey, regardless of your circumstances. To support you in your valleys, celebrate & savor your mountaintops, and find life abundant. I I believe there is always hope. No matter how dark the night may get, the morning always comes.
