Biography: Hi there, my name is A'Vauntae and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Nevada. I have been in the healthcare industry for ten years - beginning as a Registered Nurse before obtaining my degree and license as a therapist. I have experience working with clients to help them navigate through relational conflict, trauma, anxiety, depression, social anxiety, low self-esteem, infertility, chronic health conditions, and poor boundaries. My experience has taught me that we have ALL learned messages in our childhood that manifest in our adulthood - good or bad. These messages impact how we set or do not set boundaries, how we view ourselves, how we manage conflict, how we cope, how we present ourselves to the world, and how we process difficult emotions. I have a keen ability to empathize and be present with my clients, as I challenge them to grow and stretch through their work. I would like to be part of your journey and look forward to working with you!

Biography: I am a licensed psychologist in California and Nevada with over 20 years of experience. I specialize in LGBTQIA issues, my pronouns are he and him.' I also have worked over 10 years in a psychiatric hospital where I gained expertise with dual diagnosis patients (substance abuse issues + mental health disorder). I was also fortunate enough to work in the adolescent unit of the hospital as well. I earned my Ph.D. from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. I am also an educator to graduate students and provide supervision as they pursue their licenses. This helps keep me motivated to stay current with emerging trends in therapy. I mainly utilize cognitive-behavioral techniques as well as client-centered therapy. One of my favorite parts of conducting therapy is seeing diversity and being able to help those in all walks of life. I make no judgments and work hard to see things from the perspective of my clients. I see myself as a facilitator and I help my clients gain insight so they can tap into their strengths. Therapy is serious business, but I always like to use a bit of humor as appropriate. It is very important that everyone I work with feels valued and respected and I fully bring that to each and every session. Thank you for your time and I hope to work with you.

Care Philosophy: Talkspace partners with care providers who find satisfaction in providing therapy in a way that prioritizes the clients convenience and preferences. Because all therapy takes place virtually, through messaging, live virtual sessions, or both, providers can communicate more frequently and casually in comparison to traditional face-to-face therapy. Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities. Talkspace patients are matched with the best provider for them based on their needs and availability during the registration process. Once matched with a provider, patients may change at any time, and may contact support to request a specific provider. *The above is attributed to Talkspace and not the provider.*

What measures do Addiction and Substance Abuse Counselors in Las Vegas, NV take to address patients' financial concerns or facilitate access to affordable healthcare services?
Your Addiction and Substance Abuse Counselor's office can provide information about financial assistance, which may be referred to as charity care. Some doctor's offices also offer payment plans that allow you to pay your bill over a certain period of time.
If you need to receive care at a hospital, you may qualify for financial assistance through that hospital. If you receive care at a non-profit hospital, you must be offered financial assistance if you cannot afford to pay. If you participate in a government program, such as Medicaid or Medicare, those programs' websites can offer guidance about coverage for the care you need.
Your hospital may also have a patient advocate on staff who can help guide you through your coverage or your financial assistance options. You can also find your own guide through the Patient Advocate Foundation.
