Other Therapist or Counseling Referrals:
*Cypress Tree Therapy Center
- Trusted clinicians in similar fields of work to myself. They can provide individual, couple, and youth counseling depending on the clinician and their specialties. If I am unable to take on new clients, I highly recommend selecting from these affirming colleagues:
Call (702) 381-6270 or visit their website https://cypresstreetherapycenter.com/therapists/
Once you are an established client, other referrals might be provided on an as-needed basis depending on circumstances, areas of need, and issues to be addressed. I cannot take responsibility for another clinician, diagnostician, or resource's work, but I sometimes am familiar with local names and entities that might be able to further help you, and I might be aware of some themes of their clinical processes. During our time working together, I might have referrals to other clinicians, psychiatrists, diagnosticians such as assessment professionals for ADHD/Neurodiversity/Learning Disabilities, interventionists, resources, family related services, evaluation specialists, and various other resources or sources of assistance and information to meet your needs.
