Jessica Cole, MFT Student Intern
LMFT (she)
As a passionate and empathetic Marriage and Family Therapy student intern, I truly respect the courage it takes to seek therapy and share your story. Choosing to work with a therapist is a powerful step toward healing and growth, and I honor the trust my clients place in me as we navigate this journey together. I believe in creating a collaborative space where your voice is valued, your experiences are validated, and your progress is celebrated every step of the way.
As an Afro-Latina therapist, I understand how deeply systems impact our mental health, and I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and empowering space with a focus on serving marginalized and diverse communities, including LGBTQ+ clients and couples and those in polyamorous and power exchange relationships. I strive to create a safe and affirming space where clients are free to explore their challenges, strengthen their connections, embrace their growth, and celebrate their unique stories and experiences.
My approach integrates Solution-Focused, Narrative, and Collaborative therapy techniques, empowering clients to rewrite their stories and uncover their strengths as they navigate life’s transitions, relational concerns, and personal growth. In our work together, I see us as partners in the therapy process. You are the expert on your life, and I’m here to support and guide you as we explore your experiences and work toward your goals. This means I’ll listen to your insights, honor your perspective, and together, we’ll create solutions that feel right for you. Therapy isn’t about me telling you what to do – it’s about us collaborating to uncover your strengths and find the best path forward for you.

Christa Ellery, M.S.
LMFT (she)
Christa is currently accepting new clients (virtual only)
I believe everyone is worthy of growth, healing, and living authentically. The inner knowledge and tools gained in therapy can help you improve your relationship with yourself and others, identify and live by your values, and live more mindfully in all areas of your life. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow. My approach is holistic, collaborative, and client-centered. I realize power impacts our ability to share and live by our own stories, and I strive to provide culturally aware and sensitive therapy. I have experience working with clients of all gender identities, sexual orientations, and relationship dynamics.
I am also passionate about helping people navigate grief and loss. I believe grief and loss accompany change- not just death and dying, but any life transitions. To lose friends, family, relationships, and parts of our identity or context is part of the human experience. This is something I honor, normalize, and validate in therapy. Loss can push us toward growth, provide us space to realize our strengths and potential, and help us cultivate gratitude for the present and things we have yet to lose.
Don’t worry if you’re making waves simply by being yourself. The moon does it all the time. – Scott Stabile

Amanda Flores, M.S.
LMFT (she)
Amanda is currently accepting new clients
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor-Intern. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology at UNLV in 2012 and went on to get my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at UNLV in 2015. My education, training, and knowledge have allowed me to work with various clients directly since 2014.
I am passionate about working with individuals struggling with self-esteem, anxiety, and trauma. I offer EMDR, an evidence-based trauma treatment and have always had a desire to help others through the struggles of life. I am human too, so I know that reaching out for help can be daunting. I commend you on even looking for help. I know that life can be complicated, and things are typically not black and white. While my approach to therapy is gentle, I will challenge you to push yourself for you to meet your desired goals. Therapy can be hard work for clients. I work best with individuals that are tired of suffering and are ready to face their stuff and make the necessary changes. I can’t change you, but you have to change you, and I am here to guide and support you in that journey.

Hana Gutierrez, M.S.
LMFT-Intern (she)
Hana is currently accepting new clients
Deciding to come to therapy can be an intimidating decision. It is the first step in a journey of vulnerability, discovery, and self-love. Because of the magnitude of this journey, it is important to select a therapist that understands your needs and supports you. I strive to be authentic and provide a safe environment for clients and acknowledge the vulnerable space you are putting yourself in by initiating therapy. I support clients in cultivating their strengths and acknowledging how the daily ups and downs of life can affect the therapeutic process.
As a Black & Latinx woman and therapist, I cannot shy away from how systems affect our mental health. The world is not always a safe space. My therapy room is a space where you can authentically show up just as you are. In my practice, I aim to make a therapy space that centers the experiences of marginalized individuals, couples, and families.
Embarking on a therapeutic journey can be an emotional and difficult experience; because of this, I think it is important to find joy and humor where we can, to get through the ups and downs of therapy. If you think we could be a match, please reach out and let us begin our journey.

Diamond Rodgers, M.S.
LMFT (she)
Diamond is currently accepting new clients
I grew up in Las Vegas, NV, and was privileged enough to have a diverse group of friends as a result. Celebrating diversity has always been a passion of mine. I love working with BIPOC women and the LGBTQIA+ community. I specialize in cultural issues and working with clients from underrepresented backgrounds. In my work, I highlight how oppression and colonialism impact the person and problem. Facing my fair share of discrimination, racism, and oppression I know just how damaging they can be to your mental health. I believe everyone deserves to be happy in life, but the journey to happiness can be a long and hard road. It’s my passion to aid in the navigation for those who find themselves lost and stuck. Let’s face it, we all need help sometimes.
I additionally specialize in setting/enforcing boundaries. I work with my clients on building their self-esteem, ability to speak up for themselves, and how to prioritize themselves. In order to set/enforce boundaries we must first know we’re worthy of having them. I invest in each client to create an environment of safety and comfort, tailoring my approach to individual needs. I utilize a small dog to offer comfort and support to clients who need physical comfort. Not a dog lover, no problem. Little Bear is happy to sit in my lap for the duration of the session.

Additionally, I now accept Optum and United Healthcare insurance.
