Hi! I'm Dr. Heather Blondin. I completed my DO degree at Touro University Nevada and my Psychiatry residency at Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV. I am board-certified in Psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and psychosis. While everyone is welcome, I particularly enjoy working with women, college students, healthcare professionals, and those navigating life transitions.

Please note: I cannot prescribe controlled substances for patients located outside of Nevada.

Clients often describe therapy with me as grounding, validating, and clarifying. I provide a space where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself away, or have everything figured out.

We move at a pace that feels safe while still supporting meaningful and lasting change. My goal is for you to feel more regulated, confident, and emotionally secure—within yourself and in your relationships.

I'm here to support you every step of the way! This is a non-judgmental space to collaborate, learn to trust, and heal in relationships. Together, we can navigate through the jumble in your mind, explore past traumas, and understand their current impact on your life. I integrate CBT, DBT, and somatic therapy to help you find peace.

Hi my name is Cristina, my pro nouns are she/her. I went to two private institutions and graduated with my masters of science in Clinical Psychology. While In grad school I had the privilege of working with children in inpatient pediatric mental health for two years at CHOC Children's Hospital of Orange County. Shortly after I began working in residential addiction treatment with adults at AKUA in Newport Beach for another two years. While at AKUA I graduated from grad school and left to focus my attention in private practice where I currently center LGBTQ+ and POC clients and allies.

I believe that our creative and determined psyche allows us to “make it through” whatever life throws our way. We develop ideals, patterns, behaviors, and ways of thinking about the world, ourselves, and others. These things that at one point were meant to be protective and preserve us can overtime unknowingly to us be the very thing that gets in our way preventing us from living the life we ultimately desire. It can manifest itself in ways such as feeling frustrated with ourselves, self hate, feeling stuck, disconnected from our body, or even frozen with anxiety, depression, and maybe suicidal thoughts.

You’re doing everything “right”—staying active, showing up for others, pushing through—but you’re still stuck in your head. You overthink everything. You’re constantly anxious, tense, and on edge. Maybe you feel like you’re always performing—for your team, your job, your family—and you’re tired of carrying it all.

I specialize in working with athletes and active adults who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, burnout, and people-pleasing. Together, we create a space where you can finally breathe, feel grounded, and build emotional strength to match your physical drive.

My approach combines CBT, mindfulness, somatic therapy, and solution-focused strategies through my signature T.H.R.I.V.E. Method. We’ll work together to untangle old patterns, reconnect with your body, and build clarity and confidence from the inside out.

If you’re ready to feel more present, powerful, and mentally strong, I’d be honored to support you.
