Hi, I’m Chris Brace (he/him), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and LGBTQ+ affirming couples therapist based in Las Vegas, NV. I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) — an evidence-based approach that helps partners break out of painful patterns, heal from disconnection, and reconnect in deeper, more secure ways.
I support couples and individuals navigating conflict, communication struggles, infidelity, emotional distance, premarital questions, and relationship ambivalence. My practice is especially attuned to the needs of queer, neurodiverse, and nontraditional relationships (including CNM and polyamorous partners). I strive to create a warm, inclusive, and judgment-free space where all identities and emotions are welcome.
For couples in crisis or those wanting to deepen their connection quickly, I also offer 2–3 day EFT Couples Intensives — an immersive, premium service outside of insurance designed to accelerate progress in just a weekend. I balance this with making weekly therapy available through Cigna and Aetna (via Headway), so couples can choose between a traditional path and a concentrated, cash-pay option.
I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), and I have advanced training in EFT. I’m also invited annually as a facilitator for national EFT trainings on LGBTQ+ inclusivity, where I help other clinicians build affirming skills.
If you’re ready to get unstuck and reconnect, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. You can book a free consult or schedule with your Cigna or Aetna insurance via Headway.
As an LCSW, I believe growth happens when we recognize that life isn’t a straight line from A to B, but a winding journey from A to Z, shaped by experiences, challenges, and new perspectives that can lead to deeper healing, clarity, and inner peace. Reaching out is a meaningful act of courage, and it signals your readiness for real change.
