Destiny Ward

My name is Destiny and I'd like to be the first to welcome you to the first day of the rest of your life! I'm proud of you for choosing to prioritize your mental health. By being present on this website, you are already on the right track. I offer individual therapy and family therapy. I bring an eager and motivated nature to the work I do with my clients, giving just enough push to keep you going, but also moving at a pace that is comfortable for you. I am passionate about helping clients in the age range 18+ of all backgrounds, cultures, and identities. I have experience working with members of the community dealing with previous incarceration, chronic illnesses (HIV/AIDS), LGBTQIA+, Anxiety, Asperger’s Syndrome (High functioning Autism), Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Family Conflict, Grief, Life Transitions, and various factors of stress. I am motivated to help clients live their own version of their best life, whatever that may look like. I want you to be happy with you and able to have the resources to recover even when you aren’t feeling your best. As your therapist, I am not here to tell you what to do. That's a common misconception about therapy--that therapists give "advice" and are all-knowing of how to "fix it." Spoiler alert: us therapists are human, too. I do not claim to have all the answers but I am ready to help guide you, support you, encourage you, process with you, and figure out not what is THE right answer, but what is YOUR right answer. The reality is that not every problem has a solution but you'd be surprised how amazing you are at coping when you have the right tools and support in your corner. I am dedicated to treating you like a person first and addressing struggles second. I am here to motivate, encourage, and aid on your journey. I practice primarily from a strength’s based, solution focused approach to help my clients take advantage of the present and conceptualize their future. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help tackle negative thought patterns that may be contributing to unwanted behavior. This is your experience, let’s find the best version of you! I am proud to now be offering a limited amount of "sliding scale fee" client slots to make therapy more affordable and accessible in Las Vegas and it's surrounding cities for those who may not have access to health insurance. Please email me if you have questions about qualifying for one of these lower-cost, income based slots!
