Vera Dunlap, LMFT — Therapist in Nevada

Hi there, I'm Vera!

I am passionate about destigmatizing society's outlook of mental health treament and want to create a safe space for you to be your authentic self. As humans, we all strive to be heard, seen and validated. "You cannot stop the waves, but you can learn to surf." -Zig Ziglar

My focus

Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? You’re not alone. I help clients navigate anxiety, self-doubt, and life changes with curiosity and compassion. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected—to yourself and the life you want to create. Together we can build a plan based on your desired goals.

My approach

I am an experienced forensic psychotherapist, specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectal behavioral therapy, solution focused brief therapy, emotions focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and person-centered and/or collaborative therapy.

My communication style

I see therapy as a partnership. Together, we’ll set goals that matter to you—whether that’s improving relationships, building self-esteem, or pursuing personal growth. As you gain new insights, we’ll adapt your plan to stay meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with a curiosity about human resilience and a desire to help others find strength through life’s challenges. I’m driven by the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth, healing, and lasting change.

My goals for you

My goals are to radiate empathy, compassion, true understanding and respect for you during your mental health journey. We can work on many skill sets to achieve your desired results.

Our first session

I will strive to create an environment where you are free to express your feelings, thoughts, needs and wants in therapy, judgement free. I look forward to meeting with you!
