Meet the Therapist
Rachel Johnson, LCSW
Rachel is a licensed clinical social worker in Las Vegas, NV. She received her bachelor’s degree in psychology and her Master’s degree in social work at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. While in her clinical internship, she developed a passion for working with children, their families, and adults who have experienced significant challenges (trauma) in their lives. This passion allowed her to learn skills needed to treat common challenges we all face, including depressive expressions, anxiety, challenging behaviors of childhood, life transitions, and relational dissatisfaction.

Starting therapy is a step towards better understanding of ourselves and the relationships we engage in. Therapy with Rachel uses what she’s learned from the Association of Play Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, EMDR, Child Parent Psychotherapy Certified, and Attachment Focused Therapy Approaches including Circle of Security Parenting, Love and Logic, and Theraplay Level One.
