About
Greetings,
My name is DeShawn Childs MA,LMFT. I am a Licensed Marriage and family therapist in the State of Nevada. I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years. My expertise is related to working with individuals, especially teens, young and older adults, couples, that experience trauma related symptoms associated with abandonment, loss, emotional/physical/sexual abuse, feelings of disempowerment, change, etc. I specialize in helping you to live your purpose, and getting unstuck, through re-embracing the action of vulnerability.
I am undeniably a person centered, humanistic therapist. In many regards I am an expert but You are the expert of your own life, so this will always be an collaborative effort towards helping you reach your potential. You show me the WILL and I will help to increase you SKILL!
