Sex Therapy in Buffalo, Las Vegas, NV

Is your relationship in crisis? Are you feeling angry, frustrated and resentful towards your partner? Would you like to feel loved, heard, respected and valued? If the love and connection has gone, let me help you bring it back. We'll replace the negative, ineffective patterns of communication that have caused you to be "stuck", and focus on creating healthy and positive new ways of interacting. If your sexual needs are not being met, are dealing with the trauma of extra marital affairs or escalating problematic sexual behavior, I can help you heal, reconnect and move on.

Imagine a life when the trauma you have endured just feels like a distant memory instead of reliving it every day. Imagine a life when your body no longer betrays you with the response of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. Imagine a life where the different parts of you can finally experience inner peace. As an EMDR-trained therapist working towards certification, my goal is to help you process and heal from the traumatic events of your past no matter how big or small they may be. Whether we want to believe it or not trauma has plagued each and every one of us either directly or indirectly.

No one can fix you, because you are not broken. - Dr. Emily N. It is my goal is to help guide you through any challenges, trauma, or life changes you may experience. I specialize in sex therapy, depression and anxiety. I have a passion for working with sex workers, depression, anxiety, Ethical Non-Monogamy, LGBTQ+, new parents, multicultural couples/families, sexual issues, and trauma. Furthermore, I believe that clients have everything they need to make positive changes in their lives within themselves. Using this lens, I focus on establishing reachable goals with my clients, which can be maintained throughout their lives.

My clients seek to gain interpersonal skills, relationship strategies, insight into harmful behaviors and improved communication habits. I work well with individuals grappling with identity crises, sexuality issues and unstable moods. My philosophy empowers clients to seek and implement their own solutions, with guidance and encouragement from me. I will help you set goals, devise strategies to be successful and then work to steer the course of your efforts. I have worked with individuals struggling with identity, trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, as well as several other mental health issues.

I am an existential-humanistic practitioner who will provide an empathetic, non-judgemental, and confidential environment where you can be fully heard and understood. I am not interested in identifying symptoms to label human beings in order to meet the needs of insurance companies. I am interested in meeting the needs of individuals, families, and couples by utilizing a mind, body, and spirit approach with the intent of addressing the root causes of pain and discomfort. This approach will pave the way toward happiness and give the spirit fertile ground in which to flourish.

I am particularly interested in clients that are open to cultivating the garden of their life. Our life can represent a garden; in any garden there are beautiful flowers and unfortunately there are thorns and thistles. My client must be willing to smell the aroma of the flowers as we travel through the thorns and thistles of the garden life also.

Hello, I'm Alan Raddatz, director of Valley View Family Counseling Services. I'm here to interact with my patients through psychotherapy & counseling for individuals, couples and families with a competent and caring focus on understanding my clients needs, behaviors and communications to help achieve meaningful loving relationships and positive life outcomes. In preparation for this field I have had an extended clinical training background comprised of a two year internship followed by a five year residency with master therapist mentors in analytical, cognitive behavioral and alternative holistic modalities.

I believe that human beings have an incredible capacity to adapt to extremely difficult situations, but sometimes using old coping strategies can encourage toxic situations at home or at work. When the tendency to accommodate others and the desire for approval goes unchecked, we betray our authentic sense of self and undermine our success. This is particularly true with adults suffering from symptoms related to childhood trauma, addiction, and those who have had to "mask" due to neurodivergent experience. Using evidenced based treatment, I work with adults and couples to create their best lives.

Accepting New Clients. In my practice, clients embark on a journey of self-discovery, seeking to cultivate relationship skills, gain insights into unproductive behaviors, and enhance communication habits. With a focus on Couples, Individuals, and Families, I foster a collaborative environment that prioritizes safety, empathy, compassion, and understanding. Through guided exploration and introspection, clients uncover personal challenges, gaining valuable insights and understanding to navigate their issues effectively.

Relationships can be difficult but should they be? The short answer is yes ... at times. In nearly every relationship, there will be difficult challenges that test the commitment and resolve of each partner. How do we overcome challenges that seem so overwhelming that the relationship appears to be irreconcilable? Couples counseling can help redirect us to the path that once seemed so happy and full of promise. Through hard work and commitment, finding the joy you first experienced as a couple is possible.

Seeking therapy can intimidating, but tackling the stress that our home lives brings us alone is a difficult task. I understand that therapy is a unique and occasionally awkward experience so I want to tackle this process with my clients with honesty and humor. If you are struggling with anxiety, negative self image, or a difficult family or relationship and need a space to build confidence and strength then I would be happy to work with you. I love working with clients to help them build a deeper understanding and love for themselves and invite everyone in my office to be their most genuine self.

Connection can be one of the most transforming experiences in your life. Counseling is a process that can offer a therapeutic connection to enable you make transformations in your relationships, find healing from trauma, and find relief from depression and anxiety; just to name a few. I have made that kind of connection with many clients who have begun that transforming experience one step at a time. Once you take that first step, you can begin a ripple of change towards success in many areas of your life.

I have a passion for working with teens and adults, especially those on the autism spectrum. I also have experience and enjoy working with ADD/ADHD, anxiety, Bipolar disorder, giftedness, gender identity, LGBTQ, sexual health, and alternative lifestyles. I love helping people figure out how to work through social issues, relationship concerns, issues with school, work, or just life in general. I identify in this community and understand the challenges of living with a Neurodiverse brain. My commitment is to support you in becoming the best version of yourself and to empower you to embrace your unique mind.

There is no on-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I will provide you with a safe, non-judgmental, culturally sensitive and trauma-informed space for you to feel comfortable and work collaboratively with me through psychodynamic approaches to individual and relationship therapy.

My therapeutic approach is holistic, human, and individually tailored to meet the needs of clients in their current situations. As a therapist, I am a down-to-earth person who sees myself as equal to my clients, sharing a non-judgmental space to promote and honor personal growth and healing. I work with a large variety of relational issues related to transitional life experiences, as well as common mental health concerns and diagnoses. I have significant experience in sex therapy and relational issues, as well as working with non-traditional/chosen families and diverse populations. I served as a faculty member in the UNLV Couple and Family Therapy Program for the past decade supervising interns and teaching sex therapy, sexuality, and diversity. Consequently, I have enjoyed many years of working with trans, non-binary, poly, and related communities. I am passionate about working with all couple and family dynamics as well as desired individual growth in your specific context.
