LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Reno, NV
Do you want to change how you feel on a daily basis? Are there old patterns that are no longer serving you or your relationships with others? Life is full of transitions and situations that can feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate. Often, it can be difficult to find a name for our emotions. I enjoy working with people who are eager to learn more about themselves; yet are struggling to voice their needs and have learned to keep themselves connected by either over-giving, people pleasing or isolating. Together, we can work towards deconstructing internalized messages to help you find your authentic voice.

My belief is that a therapeutic relationship allows for a partnership to help navigate life's challenges. I work hard to provide a safe, trusting, and validating environment for every client. I believe everyone is equipped with the skills and tools they need to be the best version of themselves, and counseling helps us to connect with, and better utilize those skills and tools. I have experience working with adolescents, couples, military/first responders, mood disorders, childhood trauma, and religious trauma/issues. I use CBT, EMDR, ACT, and somatic/mindfulness modalities during sessions.

Do you feel isolated? Chronically overwhelmed, anxious, or numb? Disconnected from yourself and your needs? Have a history of addiction or compulsive people-pleasing? Many of my clients are neurodivergent and/or highly sensitive, carrying the weight of chronic shame, masking, burnout, anxiety, obsessive thinking, or underlying trauma. I specialize in helping people cultivate loving, trusting relationships with themselves and others. Together we'll co-create an environment of safety and nurturance, working with your mind-body system rather than against it, so you can begin to heal, feel, and connect more fully.

I primarily work with two populations: 1) men who are struggling in their intimate relationships and 2) high accountability professionals...often they are one and the same. The men I work with report growing distance in their relationships, fear that the relationship will end if they do not make changes, and, at times, that they are in abusive relationships. My clients often report high levels of success in many aspects of their lives and deep frustrations and confusion as to why they struggle in their personal relationships. Our work focuses on practical strategies they can use to make transformative changes.

I work with individuals, couples and families who are seeking healing and a deeper understanding of the factors that influence their lives. I have worked with people recovering from abuse, trauma and grief, families with members on the Autism spectrum, couples trying to rediscover one another, families who are trying to start living in healthier ways and many others with a variety of issues. Each person is unique and part of a larger system that has helped them become who they are. I provide tools to help understand those systems, and develop behaviors that lead to greater self efficacy and a richer life experience.

I have extensive experience working with a wide variety of issues with children, adolescents, and adults, which include anxiety/panic, depression, anger, mood disorders, suicidal ideation, sleep disorders, self-harm, grief, chronic pain, trauma, and PTSD. The foundation of my work recognizes that the mind, body and spirit are equally important in healing the person. Because there is a constant interaction between these 3 entities, each has a significant influence on the other. When all 3 entities are addressed, optimal and sustaining changes can be achieved. I enjoy working with all issues when using this approach to help you achieve your goals.

Grief from death, the end of a relationship, big life transitions, betrayals, and unresolved trauma leaves us feeling broken, hopeless, and disconnected from ourselves and others. You’re someone who wants to let go and heal at the deepest level, but you find yourself struggling to keep afloat. The emotions that arise during grief have you feeling like a completely different person and you don’t even know where to begin your healing journey towards transformation. You are finally ready to wade through your grief and allow your life to shift in the direction you've always wanted.

I work with a diversity of clients from LGBTQIA to veterans and more.
Does the weight of chronic stress, childhood emotional wounds, or complex trauma seem to be closing in? Has your mental health consumed your life and you are not sure where to turn? You seem to be holding everything together possibly by a thread or you may be at your wits end. Maybe experiencing anxiety, hyper-vigilance, depression, emotionally overwhelmed. Your life seems like it is in a perpetual loop of doom. You want relief, safey, calm, and more grounded in your relationships. You are looking for support that goes deeper than talk therapy, someone who can connect you to deeper healing and break through the patterns.

In the midst of life and its constant changes, it is comforting, at times, to have someone to talk with. I enjoy being a light and ear for others during more challenging moments. The needs we have as individuals change as we grow and it can be tough to identify the lessons that motivate us to press forward. As we and our environments continue to shift, at times we get stuck. It takes courage to acknowledge our own reflection and seek what we need. While attempting to balance various life developments, emotionally/mentally, conquering goals may seem bleak or unattainable. Whatever those desires or stressors, I will sit with you.

We are here for anyone working through trauma, PTSD, emotional difficulties, relationship issues, self-exploration, personal growth, life transitions, identity and LGBTQIA+ concerns, sexual assault, domestic violence, and any struggle or concern they bring through our door.
At Sierra Dragonfly Center, we have a great love for our community and a passion for overcoming the stigma that has surrounded mental health for far too long. Our focus is on helping individuals, couples, and families of all ages, backgrounds, and identities. We offer in person and video visits so we can help members of our rural communities as well. Too many people in our community suffer in silence with limited providers, long waiting lists, and a failing system. We strive to provide another layer of access to the care our community deserves, while also creating awareness and understanding of the importance of mental health care.

Welcome! My name is Casey and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with with several year of service to the great residents of Nevada. I work to provide a calm and peaceful environment where healing can happen. In treatment I focus heavily on increasing awareness through the use of mindfulness. For example, consider how much time we spend thinking about the past or future compared to the present. Too much time in the future breeds anxiety while too much time in the past breeds depression. The present is where we find peace even for just a moment.

This space is LGBTQIA+ affirming, neurodivergent-inclusive, and culturally sensitive.
I integrate art-based interventions, imagination work, and elements of geek therapy to help kids access and process their inner world in ways that feel engaging and non-threatening. I may use EMDR or Brainspotting for clients who may not be ready or able to verbalize their experiences and would like to process trauma gently, at a neurobiological level.

Life can be stressful and unpredictable. I seek to provide counseling to individuals, couples, and families who are looking for support. We each have stories that our minds create in order to make sense of our world and ourselves. These stories speak to our evolving identities, abilities, relationships, achievements, and fears. I wish to hear the life narratives that my clients experience. I honor the roles that culture, personal history, and lived experience play in how we understand ourselves, and I support clients in reconnecting with strengths they may have forgotten they had.
