I enjoy working with people from all walks of life,as I am accepting, loving, and enjoy learning and growing professionally as well as personally.

I also implement various other components from a variety of other theoretical models, such as Gestalt, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Existential.

La Shekia Smith-Brown
I am a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with a certification in trauma (CCTP-Certified Clinical Trauma Professional), and I practice in Nevada & Arizona. Over the past 18 years, I have had multiple experiences in the field of Health & Human Services. I have served in roles such as a Day Treatment Teacher to severe emotionally disturbed children and their families. I have also provided supports as a case manager in early intervention (birth to 3 years) as well as those who have intellectual disability (and related conditions). In the recent years I have provided clinical/behavioral consultation to individuals, families, and community group home providers. In addition, I provide psychotherapy (as well as clinical assessment) to those who struggle with depression/anxiety/disassociation/schizophrenia/schizoaffective/bipolar. My approach in working with individuals comes from a place of compassion, and attentiveness towards what my clients are communicating. It is my strongest desire to ensure that you feel supported as we work through challenges with effective problem solving. I like to take the approach of viewing the person in a holistic manner as there are many parts to a person which makes them whole. I assess each persons needs and develop treatment plans that may use multiple treatment modalities rather than trying to fit someone one's needs into one treatment modality. In addition, my preference would be to engage live video conferencing rather than majority of contact through messaging as I find video sessions more engaging in working with individuals. I hope I have the pleasure of working with you, and express my gratitude in advance. So let's divide & conquer together!

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Some of the most commonly asked questions about therapy can be found in the section below.
How much does a therapist cost?
Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location.
BetterHelp offers payment plans of $60 to $90 per session, charged monthly in a lump sum. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.
Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.
When should I get a therapist in Nevada?
Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.
Does insurance cover the cost of therapy?
Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.
Is online therapy the safe option?
Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.
