UNLV STAR Clinic

Now adding new clients to our waitlist

The STAR Clinic operates in partnership with UNLV PRACTICE, and offers affordable cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for trauma and anxiety-related conditions to the Las Vegas, NV community. Decades of research conducted among tens of thousands of diverse patients have demonstrated the CBT significantly reduced or eliminates symptoms of anxiety and posttraumatic stress. Treatment typically involves 10-20 weekly sessions about an hour long each. See Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies and Anxiety and Depression Association of America for more information about evidence-based practices and cognitive behavioral therapy. We understand trauma and anxiety-related disorders can be distressing, debilitating, and make it difficult to enjoy life, but, fortunately, these disorders are treatable. We pride ourselves on using evidence-based practices flexibly to help clients achieve their individual goals, and hope to help clients with not only reducing suffering, but also improving happiness and quality of life. 

We provide thorough diagnostic assessments, individual therapy in-person and virtually, as well as group therapy when there is sufficient interest. In some cases, intensive in-person outpatient treatment can be designed for motivated patients living outside of the immediate Las Vegas, NV area. We provide therapy to adults, and do not currently have availability for child or adolescent patients. We are currently accepting new patients, but there may be a waitlist prior to beginning treatment.
