Sara DeMunda

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a proud Nevada native. I was born and raised in Henderson and earned my Master’s degree from the University of Nevada, Reno. Growing up in Henderson has given me a strong connection to the community, and I value the opportunity to give back by supporting individuals, couples, and families in the place I call home.

I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, life transitions, emotional challenges, and feeling stuck or disconnected. I also enjoy working with couples who want to improve communication, strengthen their connection, or work through difficult experiences together.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time outdoors as a form of self-care. You can usually find me hiking, fishing, snowboarding, camping, or spending time with family. I believe that having meaningful connections, getting outside, and making space for the things that bring us joy are all important parts of well-being.

Most importantly, I want therapy to feel like a space where you can be genuinely understood without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. I take the time to get to know the person behind the concerns that bring you to therapy and work collaboratively to help you move toward meaningful change.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and humanistic. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and therapy is a partnership where we can explore what you’re experiencing together. I’m interested not only in what is happening right now, but also in understanding the patterns, relationships, experiences, and beliefs that may be influencing how you feel and respond in the present.

I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, and other emotional challenges. I incorporate insight-oriented and relational perspectives while also using practical strategies when they are helpful. I tailor therapy to each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

Whether you’re working through anxiety or depression, navigating a relationship, adjusting to a major life transition, or simply trying to better understand yourself, we’ll work together to identify what matters most to you and what steps feel meaningful.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about what you’ve been experiencing, what you hope will be different, and what you would like support with. I’ll also ask questions about your background, symptoms, relationships, and experiences so I can better understand the bigger picture.

You don’t need to have the right words or know exactly what you want to accomplish in therapy. We can figure that out together. My goal is for you to leave your first session feeling heard, comfortable, and with a clearer sense of how we can move forward together.
