I am a clinical psychologist driven by a deep sense of empathy and a genuine curiosity about human behavior and the motivations that shape our lives. I strive to create a space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood without judgment. My approach is grounded in authenticity, both in how I show up and in how I support others in reconnecting with their own genuine selves. I believe that meaningful change begins with understanding, and I am committed to walking alongside each person as they explore their experiences, build insight, and move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) with advanced training in trauma and mindfulness. Before opening my private practice, I worked in forensic and community settings supporting clients involved with the justice system, those affected by interpersonal violence, and people navigating substance use and recovery.
My practice focuses on trauma, addiction, and personality-related challenges, with additional experience addressing mood instability, codependency, identity development, and relationship patterns. I provide inclusive, affirming care for LGBTQ+ clients and individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds.
I approach therapy with curiosity, humor, and honesty, offering space to explore patterns, build self-trust, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. As a counselor, I have worked in public schools, adult and youth residential facilities, online counseling, wilderness programs, private practice, and mental health facilities. My areas of expertise include sexual abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse, parenting, and leadership. I have presented at many local, state, and national professional conferences and have taught many masters’ level mental health courses for the past 20+ years. Currently, I am the Assistant Program Director and Associate Professor of Counseling at Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions. Prior to my work in counseling and academia, I served a tour of duty in Germany as an officer in the US Army and then back in America as a bank branch manager. I graduated from Brigham Young University with degrees in Corporate Communications (BA) and Educational Psychology (M.Ed.) and at the University of the Cumberlands (Ph.D.) in Counselor Education and Supervision.
Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, and I believe finding the right therapist is one of the most important parts of the process. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and accepted without judgment.
I specialize in helping adults navigate trauma, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm. As an EMDR-trained Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience in crisis stabilization and outpatient therapy, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. My focus is not only on reducing symptoms but also on helping you understand yourself more deeply, build resilience, and create lasting change.
I strive to balance compassion with honesty. Therapy with me is collaborative—we’ll celebrate progress, gently challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and move at a pace that feels right for you. I believe healing isn’t about becoming someone different; it’s about reconnecting with the strengths that have always been within you.
Whether you’re working through past trauma, feeling stuck in anxiety, navigating a major life transition, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, we’ll work together to develop practical tools and meaningful insight so you can move forward with greater confidence and peace..

I am a Liscenced Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing virtual psychotherapy throughout the state of California. I have over 10 years experience working with individuals from various backgrounds, providing emotional support through use of psychotherapy.
Immediate for in person or virtual availability for clients throughout Las Vegas, Reno, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and all of Nevada.
I am Alexander Linderman, LCPC, NCC, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II). Since beginning my counseling internship in July 2021, I have accumulated nearly five years of clinical experience helping adults and couples who look fine on the outside but quietly carry anxiety that will not quit, PTSD symptoms, relationship strain, depression, grief, burnout, or faith-related stress. Many of my clients are professionals, parents, and partners who have tried to push through on their own and are now ready for real, lasting change.
My style is direct yet warm, inquisitive, and gently challenging. I combine advanced trauma expertise with practical, evidence-based tools so you can move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling calm, connected, and in control. When it fits your values and goals, I can integrate Christian faith-based perspectives in a respectful, non-judgmental way to support deeper healing and meaning.
You do not have to carry this alone anymore. If you want a trauma-informed counselor who delivers measurable progress instead of endless talking, you are in the right place.
