Mavis Major, LCSW, LCSW, LCSW, LCSW, LCSW — Therapist in Nevada

Hi there, I'm Mavis!

I’m a clinical social worker with more than 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist, helping people understand themselves more deeply. My goal is to join you on a journey of healing, developing peace and joy in your life.

My focus

I serve adults, struggling with childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem challenges.

My approach

My approach to therapy is relational and collaborative. I believe it’s the strength of the therapeutic relationship that creates real movement toward healing and growth. Together, we’ll build a space where you feel supported, understood, and able to explore the parts of your life that are ready for change.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, open, sometimes animated, I like to laugh a lot.
