Hi. My name is Anita Aasen. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years experience. I work with individual, families and couples, I have learned that every journey is unique. Every journey has its trials. We all experience unexpected changes, difficulties and loss; whether it be a death, a marriage , a job or some other. We all experience anxiety in some degree. The pandemic has hit all of us hard. Therapy is a unique way to assist when you are ready to write the next chapter of your life's narrative. Specialties include grief work, stress reduction, self esteem, depression, anxiety and PTSD. I recently has obtained a certificate as. a Certified Grief Informed Professional. and have received a certificate as a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist . I have been trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and in mindfulness. I have worked as a substance abuse counselor and have an extensive knowledge of the 12 steps and "smart recovery" other recovery based programs.. I approach therapy uniquely as a chance to find the lessons in difficulties and the hidden strengths to be discovered and acknowledged. I believe there is therapeutic value in humor, finding gratitude in the small things, and enriching your spirituality. I believe in the resilience of the human spirit.

I believe that that the value of therapy is having an objective person's eyes and ears on your struggles and that the process can help you move forward when you are feeling "stuck." Identifying your strengths and ideal solutions are part of a treatment plan that helps us stay focused and determine how effective therapy is in your life. Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy mode I use to discover what thoughts, feelings and belief systems are at play in feeling "stuck," and produces new ideas about approaching your issues. I am now very excited about implementing the use of a fairly new mode of therapy known as "ACT" that stands for "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy". People walk through this self-discovery process not because it's easy, but to feel better, lighter and more effective in navigating their lives. For the best therapeutic outcome, there needs to be trust and respect between the client and the therapist. I encourage any and all questions to see if we could be a good fit! I have recently decided to add to my bio by specifically letting potential clients know that most of my professional career as a therapist has been in working with sex offenders, their families and victims, as well as having expertise in domestic violence issues. Extreme/ toxic emotional abuse issues are becoming very common and there are now clearly defined cycles of those types of abuse. There seems to be a growing need for attention to these specific problems and a need for a professional who has a lot of experience in addressing these issues. It should also be noted that if someone is in need of sex offender therapy, they must have successfully completed a legally recognized program first. In my private time I enjoy growing organic gardens and cooking with the results, playing outdoors in every season- skiing, camping, hiking, kayaking, and love playing and hiking with my new dog (rescue), Blue. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to discover healthier and more authentic ways of relating to people, but especially ourselves.

Hello, my name is Willie Johnson, MSW, LCSW- Thank You for considering my services... I am a licensed clinical social worker in Las Vegas, NV, with over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, groups who are dealing with anger, trauma, attachment issues, depression, anxiety, panic attacks and other mood disorders. It’s extremely important for patients to realize and distinguish the difference between their original true personality and their bodies, feelings, thoughts, and emotions. In other words, YOU ARE NOT YOUR BODY, YOU ARE NOT YOUR FEELINGS, YOU ARE NOT YOUR EMOTIONS! You are not what you feel nor think. True, you do have feelings, thoughts and emotions, but you are not them. Within this therapeutic relationship, you will learn, recognize, and identify the secondary emotions and personalities that’s trying to manipulate, control and change your character and personality. You will also learn how to release yourself from the pain and guilt of harm done to you or the harm you have done to others or even to yourself. Our goals in therapy is not just to cope or manage these emotional concerns, but to completely get rid of and totally destroy them out of your life. Through self-reflection, therapy will help develop your capacity to be more self-aware, recognize and challenge negative thoughts and build towards a more safe and healthy life functioning. I believe that prioritizing your mental health is an investment in self; it is an active step towards your healing journey. "Four Stages To Your Emotional Health & Healing" 1. Love Everybody, 2. Forgive Everybody, 3. Respect Everybody, 4. Be Kind To Everybody & 5. Hold Everybody Accountable -- Starting With Yourself. I look forward to working with you. ________________________________________ SPECIALTIES • Anger • Stress, Anxiety • Family conflicts • Trauma and abuse • Parenting issues • Relationship Issues • Depression Also experienced in: Addictions, Relationship issues, Grief, Anger management, Self-esteem, Coping with life changes, Abandonment, Attachment Issues, Domestic Violence, Family Problems… LGBT , Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Parenting issues Career difficulties, Coaching , Compassion fatigue , Abandonment….

Hello, and welcome! Deciding to explore therapy is an important step, and I’m glad you’re here. I specialize in working with adults who are navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, and the lingering effects of childhood trauma. My passion lies in helping individuals who are ready to engage in deeper, long-term healing work. I primarily use EMDR to address trauma, alongside other approaches tailored to your unique needs, ensuring that therapy is a collaborative and personalized process. I primarily specialize in helping adults work through their childhood trauma in order to address symptoms of depression/anxiety. If you are currently in active crisis (suicide ideation, domestic violence, etc..), my approach will not be suitable for you - you will need to find a clinician who specializes in active crisis management. My ultimate goal is to empower you to explore and build upon your strengths, paving the way for meaningful, lasting growth. If you’re seeking a space to dive into deeper healing and transformation, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

I’m a therapist who deeply believes in the power of change. I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people as they face challenges, grow, and find new ways of moving forward, and I don’t take that lightly. Those moments of growth, big or small, feel sacred to me. I love working with adults and teens who struggle with anxiety and everyday challenges. My goal is to offer more than just insight; I want to give people tools they can actually use and to work myself out of a job. For most, therapy shouldn't last forever. My own struggles have helped me connect more deeply with the people I work with and given me a clearer sense of how meaningful and tough real change can be. Those experiences have shaped how I show up in the room, with compassion, curiosity, and a practical mindset. I focus on long-term growth, helping clients build confidence, resilience, and self-trust. Clients often tell me they feel calm, safe, understood, and not judged in sessions. I think that kind of connection is what makes therapy work. When people feel seen and valued, real change becomes possible. I believe in your ability to change, I’m honored to be here.
