LGBT therapists in Nevada

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.

My ideal client is someone who is ready to make a change even if they aren’t sure how. I work with many clients who struggle with all types of trauma, mood disorders, neurodivergence and often a combination of these traits. I often work with my clients to help them set attainable goals and break down complex situations piece by piece. I also strive to make a safe space for LGBTQ+ and encourage expressions of all gender identities and sexualities. Vulnerability is key to healing and I welcome anyone who is ready to begin and honest conversation about their goals.

Nikki Day, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker and therapist with experience providing mental health services since 2019 through community mental health agencies, group practices, and private practice settings. She earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Denver in 2020 and completed her clinical licensure requirements in 2025. Nikki is the founder of Vivant Counseling, LLC, where she works primarily with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. While maintaining a generalist approach, she has developed specialized experience supporting members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and survivors of domestic and sexual violence. In 2026, she expanded her professional licensure to include both Utah and Nevada, allowing her to broaden access to mental health care across multiple states.

Finding and embracing your authentic self is a journey that can be challenging. Figuring out how to cope in a healthy way with what the world throws at us can be difficult. I'm interested in working with you to figure out how you want your life and experiences to be, and how to start making your way there. I've been practicing for over 5 years, working mainly with LGBTQ+ young adults and adults struggling with anxiety, gender, and interpersonal communication issues.

As a bilingual, board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with Indigenous roots and lived immigrant experience, I founded Cristal Psykare to close the gap in accessible, affordable mental health care. With clinical experience across the lifespan and specialties in ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and substance use, I offer trauma-informed, culturally responsive care in both English and Spanish.
