Shelby Nakamura

I’m Shelby Nakamura, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Las Vegas - here to guide you through life’s most complex and difficult matters. I truly care about my patients’ well-being and guarantee top of the line counseling services catered to their needs.

Originally from Hawaii, I moved to the 9th island in 2013 to pursue my Bachelor's degree in Psychology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I loved the community and the experience that Nevada had to offer. In 2016, I continued my educational career at UNLV with a specialization in Couple and Family Therapy, and recently graduated in December 2018.

During my graduate clinical experience, I have provided a number of specialized therapeutic services to those dealing with challenging life experiences. I was able to focus on teenagers that struggle with eating disorders, couples struggling with infidelity and technology, and the treatment of anxiety disorders.

Client well-being is my number one priority, and I go above and beyond to help them through all their obstacles.

I believe that therapy is a unique process that can be valuable to all individuals, couples, and families. No one knows your story better than you do, and I strive to provide you with a comfortable and safe environment where we can work together toward your goals.

I work through a systemic framework of treatment that will allow us to explore how relationships around you can have an impact on one's life. I enjoy working with teenagers, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds.

I am here to help clients build the necessary skills in order to overcome any obstacle they face along the way.​ As you take this courageous journey, I would like to walk alongside you to help you find your inner strength so you can live the life you deserve. Together we will build goals that surrounds your wants and needs.
