Andrea Harmon CPC-Intern
Staff Therapist
I believe in providing a safe environment for you to explore and process your experiences as you move toward integration of self and well-being through a warm, collaborate, and explorative approach.
​
I am a Clinical Intern with the State of Nevada with completion of my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health with an additional certification in Violence, Loss, and Trauma at Marshall University.
​
As a Certified Brainspotting Therapist, I integrate mindfulness processing techniques with traditional talk therapy to help process emotions stored in the body relating to anxiety, trauma, and challenges related to life transitions.
​
I am dedicated to working with folks of the LGBTQ+ community, teens (13+), young adults, and adults who face a variety of challenges within their life such as trauma, depression, self-image/self-esteem issues, anxiety disorders, grief and loss, anger and stress management, chronic pain, chronic illness, families of first responders, relationship issues, and school-related issues.
​
I believe the therapeutic relationship lays a foundation for success through respect, empathy, and trust. As your therapist, I will always meet you where you are with unconditional regard, a dash of humor, and ongoing support throughout your journey of getting in touch with your authentic self and releasing what no longer serves you.

Dante Richmann CPC-Intern
Staff Therapist
I am EMDR trained and skilled in treatment modalities such as DBT, CBT, narrative therapy, psycho-analytic, and mindfulness based approaches.
Together, we’ll explore what’s working and what’s not, uncover the deeper meaning behind your struggles, and celebrate your growth along the way. If you're feeling uncertain or overwhelmed, that's okay. You don't need to have everything figured out to begin therapy. The process is about starting where you are and taking small, meaningful steps toward healing and self-discovery.
My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, respect, and collaboration. I believe that therapy is a space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
My goal is to support you in understanding yourself more deeply, navigating life’s challenges, and empowering you to create positive change. I want you to feel comfortable and cared for. I am open to hearing any concerns you may have or take a creative approach to therapy.
