Sara Hernandez-Moya
Clinical Social Worker/ Therapist, LCSW
I obtained my Bachelor of Science is in Human Services with an emphasis on Management from the University of Phoenix and I have a Master of Social Work from Walden University. With me you can expect a practical and down to earth approach designed to meet you where you are. My therapy style is conversational, casual, and interactive. I talk so casually during session (may curse even) that you’ll feel like we’ve met before. I’ll ask you about your likes and dislikes, what’s been going on and how you’re experiencing it. I’m not afraid to talk about the hard or awkward stuff and I’m also not afraid to let you know when you’re limiting yourself. And then we’ll get down to the hard work. Human relationships are the vehicle for change, so if it sounds like we “jive” … reach out and we can chat.
Crystal Acosta
Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC
I have experience working with diverse populations across a variety of ages including those struggling with substance abuse, foster youth, CCSD adolescents, and those with phase of life problems. I believe that all clients are capable of empowering themselves within their personal and professional lives once given the appropriate support. Often, the journey of life places us in unpredictable and uncomfortable situations; however, these life obstacles do not need to prevent you from being your authentic self. While participating in counseling, allow me to hold space for you to feel safe, supported, and heard.

Grace Xu
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC
Hello, I am a psychotherapist for individuals, couples, and families. My areas of expertise are holding space for clients in a deeper level of healing and achieving self-leadership and self-compassion, advocating for the parts of them who were not seen, heard or understood before. The ultimate goal for healing is to safely rebuild and rewire our neuro-network, attachment, and autonomic nervous system. I have been a Vegas local for almost 17 years, after living in China for 19 years. I am proficient in both languages, and my practice integrates both modern western science and ancient eastern wisdom, to hold space for you navigating the world, through different walks of life
I am certified in Hypnotherapy, Brainspotting, Parts and Memory and Trauma-Focused CBT, and I am also trained in IFS, EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, and Compassionate Inquiry by Gabor Mate, as well as EFT and Gottman Method for couples and Minuchin’s Family Systems Theory. I can further assist you in processing generational burden/trauma and developmental trauma. I might have different training under my belt, but therapy is not only “modality-shopping”. It is about building therapeutic alliances. Healing happens via connection. My approach is non-pathological and person-centered.
Hannah Ditomaso
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I was born and raised in Kenya, and in 2001 I moved to the United States. I attended Brigham Young University, and I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Social Work in 2007 and my Master’s in Clinical Social Work in 2009. Since I have been in Vegas, I have worked with different populations including toddlers, adolescents, adults, and seniors. I believe the strengths lie in those who seek and accept help. I know we all have strengths and capabilities to overcome our personal, family, and community challenges and struggles that we face in our day to day lives. I also believe therapy helps individuals to discover the strength they have within themselves. As they apply the suggestions and teachings and utilize the community’s resources recommended in therapy, life becomes bearable.

Robert Carpenter
Clinical Professional Counselor Intern, CPC-I
I want to help people achieve happiness and their life goals. That process starts with the understanding of our own emotions, how we naturally react, and how we can improve to help reach our goals in life. I am very open and receptive to people from all walks of life and am willing to help those in need the best I can, and I can help with spiritual struggles, as well.
We have all been hurt or seen someone we love hurt and needed guidance. Growing up I saw this with friends, family, and community members. I care, which is why I changed my career path. The need for a support system, a helping hand, or someone to talk things through with is real and can be a big relief when you feel isolated or lost.
Olivia LaMothe
Marriage & Family Therapist Intern, MFT-I
After witnessing my own growth and ability to thrive with the help of key people, I knew I wanted to be a therapist and help others thrive too. I graduated with a BA in Psychology in 2005, before working in corporate administrative, marketing and development roles. In 2012, I returned to school and completed my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am doing what I was meant to do!
I enjoy working with teens, adults, couples and families, who are seeking new perspectives and ways to manage life and relationships. Some of the issues I work on with my clients include: stress, self- esteem issues, perfectionism, life transitions, challenges with communication, challenges with sustained connection in relationships and moving out of addiction and codependency.
I utilize a trauma-informed, emotionally focused approach to therapy, with an emphasis on attachment, mindfulness and self-compassion. I enjoy knowing others and highly value the uniqueness of each individual. You can expect me to be warm, curious about you and seeking to tailor therapy to your specific needs, personality and goals.

Bryce Davis
Clinical Social Worker Intern, CSW-I
As a licensed master social worker, I have worked in many different environments, and I have worn many different hats. However, I have worked as a case manager for the majority of my roles. However, my true passion is helping people discover more about themselves while developing themselves as they use their own strengths to grow. In my case management sessions, I would explore people’s motivations and the stories that fueled their dreams. I would use active listening to let them know that they are heard and understood. Overall, I entered the field of social work out of a simple desire to help people feel heard and listened to, and to grow as a result of authentic and compassionate interactions.

Originally from California, I have lived in Southern Nevada for over 30 years. I received my Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Nevada, Reno.
I love working with clients as they become curious about themselves and the subconscious patterns that direct their lives. I see myself as your collaborator, the person with whom you can share your challenges and aspirations as we tailor a plan for living the life of your dreams. You’ll find me both gentle and direct, with a bit of humor to make the process of self-discovery that much more enjoyable. I use an integrative approach that includes both traditional and experiential therapies, including emotional-focused therapy, internal family systems, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness.

I offer a holistic, compassionate approach when dealing with some of life’s most challenging moments. I specialize in supporting members of the LGBTQIA+ community and have a passion for helping individuals from any walk of life in coping with grief, anxiety and other feelings that may crop up from this process we call life. Early on, I discovered a knack and passion for helping others, and in 2019 decided to go back and complete my studies, culminating in a Master’s Program at University of Nevada Reno. Having trod my own unconventional path, and as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I understand the nuances of identity and the impacts that grief and anxiety can have on a person’s life. Let’s start navigating your healing journey together today.

I also have experience working in the school district and foster care system.
My therapy style includes providing a non-judgmental space for you to come as you are. I ask a lot of questions not only because I am genuinely curious, but also because it helps you to process what’s going on in your mind. My approach to sessions is strengths-based to identify what works well for you, and solutions-focused to get you moving on your own.

Rachel Wainhaus
Marriage and Family Therapy Graduate Student
I’m a warm, caring, and open therapist who values deep, meaningful connection. My goal is to support you on your personal growth journey with curiosity, compassion, and presence.
My approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychoanalysis, structural family therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I help clients explore the beliefs beneath the noise of outside influences and reconnect with their inner clarity and strength.
When working with couples, I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy and Imago Dialogue to help partners feel heard, understood, and more deeply connected. I may also incorporate movement or mindfulness-based practices.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in academic advising and higher education. I hold a Master’s in Secondary Education and am currently completing my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy.
