I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and the owner of Night Owl Wellness. I hold a master's degree from the University of Utah.
I work with a wide range of adult populations, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, veterans, sexual trauma survivors, those with addiction, people with Autism/ADHD, and survivors of religious trauma. My personal and professional understanding of trauma's complex impact is what drives my passion for this work.
My therapeutic training includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and other eclectic and integrated interventions.

Therapy with me is a conversation, not a lecture. I’m direct, a little sarcastic, and I use humor to make the hard stuff easier to talk about. I believe in meeting you where you are—whether you’re navigating a major life transition, working through past trauma, or just trying to figure out why everything feels overwhelming. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and maybe even laugh a little along the way.
I was born and raised in Montana and have a genuine passion for nature and the outdoors. I received my Bachelors in Psychology at Montana State University in 2001. I then pursued my Masters of Social Work degree and graduated in 2008 from the University of Montana. This graduate program had a focus on providing a social justice and integrated practitioner perspective. I have an eclectic style that can be tailored to each unique individual. My primary therapeutic methods include Mindfulness Based, Holistic, Exposure, Narrative, Cognitive and Behavioral, Strengths Based & Solution Focused Therapies. I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate environment that often helps people feel comfortable. A true passion of mine is structuring therapeutic activities for clients to express, process, increase self-awareness, and de-stress from life’s challenging and developmental experiences.
With 10+ years as an LCSW, I focus on trauma treatment so you can move forward and create a life you enjoy living with more regulated moods and empowerment of who you are!
My name is Alan Hixon, and I am a Nevada Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Henderson
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Henderson starts with identifying what kind of support matters most to you. You may be looking for a provider experienced with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or the specific stressors that LGBTQIA+ individuals face — such as identity exploration, family dynamics, or the impact of discrimination. Licensed providers on Headway, including LPCs, LCSWs, psychologists, and psychiatrists, have indicated their areas of focus in their profiles so you can find someone whose experience matches your needs.
Henderson is part of the greater Las Vegas metro area, and many providers serve both Henderson and surrounding communities like Green Valley, Anthem, and Summerlin. Some offer in-person sessions at local offices, while others are available for virtual appointments — giving you more options when choosing a provider who feels like the right fit. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and whether they have specific training or experience with LGBTQIA+ clients before you reach out.
Therapy in the Henderson area can be expensive without insurance, but using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who is both the right clinical match and covered by your plan.
