Therapists for college students near Nelson, NV

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) licensed in California, Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, and Nevada, serving students, young adults, and adults across these states. I specialize in helping clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, mood disorders, and stress related to school, work, or life transitions. I work best with college students and young adults who want support managing the unique stresses of academic life, relationships, and the transition into adulthood. My ideal students are ready to understand themselves better, develop healthy coping strategies, and create lasting changes, rather than rely on quick fixes. Many students I work with experience: Anxiety, depression, or stress that affects school, work, or social life ADHD, trauma, or mood challenges that make daily routines or academics difficult Feeling overwhelmed by expectations and wanting practical tools to manage responsibilities A desire for collaborative, personalized care that fits their lifestyle and goals I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where students can explore their mental health, learn effective strategies, and work toward long-term well-being. My approach combines therapy, lifestyle guidance, and medications when necessary, always focusing on what works best for each individual.

I was born and raised in Reno, Nevada. I worked throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies with kids and teens across a variety of settings, both clinical and educational. I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in Human Development and Family Studies in 2016 and my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from UNR in 2022 and completed my clinical internship in late 2024. I have worked with clients across a variety of populations and enjoy working with teens and adults, with a particular passion for working with women and the LGTBQIA+ community, as well as clients interested in processing trauma experiences. I use a client centered, collaborative, and creative approach when working with individuals. I believe in the combination of both skill building and creative interventions to help clients to meet their personal goals and gain insight. I enjoy incorporating a variety of interventions that connect with clients, while challenging historic beliefs that have impacted them and help to reframe negative beliefs. I have a background in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and am continuing to familiarize myself with up to date trauma informed interventions and narrative therapy with hopes of integrating nature-based tenets into my work. I am a BIG movie buff and in my free time, enjoy reading and playing with my black lab, Dodger. I enjoy camping and spending as much time outside and at the lake as possible.

I have worked in a college community for over 20 years. I understand the experiences and struggles of both undergraduate and graduate students that occur in their personal and academic lives. I can help with serious mental health problems as well as issues around adjusting to college/graduate life, identity development (personal, sexual, gender, professional), and trauma.

Reaching out for help takes a lot of courage and can be difficult for some. This can be because it will mean facing the reality of the situation we are in, or due to limited supports in our life. At the same time, I believe that we all have the power to make the desired changes in our lives. Because of this, I prioritize building a strong collaborative relationship with my clients. I offer a humanistic, warm, and calm presence while empowering clients to take back the lead in their lives. If you are ready to make some changes in your life and are open to self-exploration, I may be the right fit for you. I utilize an eclectic approach which allows me to best fit the needs of my clients. I commonly accomplish this through techniques derived from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectal behavioral therapy, attachment theory, psychodynamic theories, and EMDR.

I provide a warm and empathetic environment in which we build a solid relationship. I have experience working with students as they transition into college and manage the many stressors while in college. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focusing on how our thoughts affect our feelings and behaviors. Sessions are goal oriented and solution focused.

College is a weird in-between stage where you’re expected to figure out who you are, what you want, and where you’re going…while also remembering to pass your classes and keep yourself functioning. I’m in your corner. We’ll laugh when things are ridiculous, talk honestly about what’s actually going on, and figure out what helps you feel more confident navigating this whole “becoming an adult” thing. If any of this sounds like where you’re at, let’s talk. We’ll figure out if we’re a good fit—or I’ll help point you in the right direction. Either way, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Hi, I’m Suyapa (she/ella), a Spanglish bilingual first-gen Latina therapist. I provide virtual therapy for adults in California, Nevada, and Florida navigating trauma, anxiety, family roles, grief, and identity exploration—through a culturally responsive, feminist, neurodiverse-affirming, and 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusive lens. If you grew up in a BIPOC or Latine/Latinx household where silence, sacrifice, or survival roles were the norm, you may now find yourself overwhelmed, disconnected from your needs, or constantly taking care of others while neglecting yourself. Maybe you’re the eldest daughter, the fixer, or the one everyone leans on—but you’re tired of holding it all together alone. My clients are often cycle-breakers who carry invisible emotional labor, many of whom grew up with siblings facing disabilities, mental health challenges, or substance misuse. They come to therapy ready to unlearn people-pleasing, set boundaries without guilt, and reconnect with who they are—beyond survival. My Approach I offer trauma-informed, relational therapy that honors your story and your culture. I use EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic and mindfulness practices, and a collaborative, holistic approach that supports healing on a mind-body-spirit level. The therapeutic relationship is central to our work—I’m here to help you feel safe, seen, and deeply supported. What It’s Like to Work With Me I’m not a blank slate—I show up with my authentic self and deep respect for your lived experience. I won’t pretend to have all the answers, but I will walk beside you with empathy, curiosity, and care as we get to the root of what’s weighing you down. Together, we’ll explore how your past is impacting your present, and build tools for healing that feel right for you.

My therapeutic style is warm and genuine and I like to use humor when appropriate. I am a big proponent of using therapeutic techniques that have good research evidence demonstrating their effectiveness. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for adolescents and adults. CBT teaches clients coping skills to manage their emotions and behaviors. It also changes clients' emotions by helping them change their thoughts and behaviors. I provide CBT to address the following presenting problems: depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and difficulties adjusting to major life changes. DBT is an adaption of CBT that was developed to help clients with multiple problems in multiple areas who struggle with chronically dysregulated emotions. These clients may also have suicidal behaviors, self-harm behaviors, impulsive behaviors, difficulties in their interpersonal relationships, and/or Borderline Personality Disorder. I also have specialty training in the DBT Prolonged Exposure protocol for individuals with comorbid Borderline Personality Disorder and PTSD. In terms of my education and experience, I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Stony Brook University in 2014. I then participated in my first postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Washington with Dr. Marsha Linehan, the developer of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Afterwards, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Jacqueline Pistorello at the University of Nevada, Reno, focusing on providing clinical services to college students and conducting research on evidence-based treatments for suicidal behaviors. As a faculty member at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine, I taught medical students, psychiatry residents, and child psychiatry fellows about psychology, therapeutic techniques, and how to interact with patients. I opened my private practice in 2017 in Reno, Nevada and recently moved to Virginia.
