Ashly Gomez-Hetherman, LCSW — Therapist in Nevada

Hi there, I'm Ashly!

I work with individuals and families ready to explore patterns, heal emotional wounds, and build more connected lives. My approach is collaborative and grounded in respect, blending evidence-based practices with deep appreciation for each person's unique story.

My focus

You don’t have to navigate this alone. I work with older adolescents through older adults who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and the daily stressors that make life feel heavy. Whether you're struggling with boundaries, peer or family dynamics, relationship challenges, or intense emotions like panic or anger

My approach

My approach blends tools with deep emotional insight. I draw from CBT to help shift unhelpful thought patterns, ACT to build resilience through acceptance, DBT for emotional regulation, and somatic techniques to reconnect with the body’s wisdom. I also use parts work to gently explore inner conflicts, always guided by a person-centered lens.

My communication style

Therapy with me is a space for honesty, reflection, and growth—without judgment. I communicate with warmth and clarity, and I tailor my tone to meet you where you are. Whether you're feeling raw, guarded, or unsure, I’ll respond with patience and empathy, while gently encouraging you to explore what’s beneath the surface.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into the mental health field has been shaped by a deep and enduring curiosity about the complexities of human behavior and a commitment to helping others navigate life’s challenges. What initially drew me to this field was a desire to understand how individuals adapt, grow, and heal within their unique environments.

My goals for you

Therapy is a process, not a prescription—and your goals are the compass we build together. I’ll invite you to share what’s weighing on you and what you hope will feel different. Whether it’s managing anxiety, improving relationships, or setting boundaries that actually hold, we’ll shape goals that are meaningful and achievable—not just idealistic.

Our first session

The first session is designed to lay the foundation for our work together. While it may feel overwhelming to share your story with someone new, my focus is on getting to know you—not just your challenges, but your strengths, values, and goals. We’ll begin by building a therapeutic alliance rooted in trust and respect.
