Therapy in Henderson, NV | Counselor Dama Perez

In Henderson, NV, many couples look steady on the outside while quietly feeling miles apart at home. The arguments may not be explosive, but the distance is real. I work with first-generation Latinas, professionals of color, and multicultural couples who are tired of surviving their relationship and want to understand what is happening underneath the silence, the resentment, or the shutdown. Therapy here centers culture, attachment-wounds, grief, and the emotional weight that often goes unnamed.


For years, I have supported clients across Nevada who are balancing ambition, family expectations, and long-standing relational patterns. Henderson is known for its family-focused neighborhoods, structured communities, and achievement-driven households. Many couples are building stable lives, raising children, and maintaining demanding careers while quietly losing emotional closeness in the process.


Behind that stability, partners often carry cultural guilt, fear of conflict, and generational messages about sacrifice and endurance. In a city that values strength and composure, vulnerability can feel risky. Therapy in Henderson becomes a grounded space to rebuild emotional-safety, interrupt old relational-patterns, and create connection that feels mutual, honest, and sustainable.

How it works

Step 1

A thorough intake session where we explore your relationship history, cultural backgrounds, and current struggles so we can understand the deeper patterns behind the disconnection.

Step 2

Emotionally focused sessions to help you with clarity, begin repairing trust, and rebuild emotional safety.

Step 3

Ongoing, guided sessions with personalized homework, where we break unhelpful cycles, strengthen connection, and practice healthier ways of relating so your relationship feels more like a true partnership.

Frequently asked questions

  • Can I use insurance for therapy?

     I am currently an out-of-network provider. However, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Many PPO plans offer partial reimbursement checks with your provider to confirm your benefits.

  • Do you offer a sliding scale?

    Yes! I offer two sliding scale spots for clients with financial need. If cost is a concern, please reach out. I'm happy to discuss options during your consultation.

  • What does the therapy process look like?

    We start with an intake session to explore your relationship history, communication patterns, and goals. From there, we’ll meet regularly to uncover deeper emotional patterns, build new tools for connection, and work toward the relationship you want to create. Therapy is always tailored to your unique story and pace.

  • What if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?

    Life happens! I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or reschedules. Sessions canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice may be subject to the full session fee. No-shows or missed appointments without prior notice will be charged the full session rate, as that time is reserved specifically for you.

  • How does virtual therapy work?

    Sessions are held through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You’ll receive a private link before each session. All you need is a quiet and confidential space, a reliable internet connection, and a device with a camera and microphone.

  • What if I don’t feel like we’re a good fit?

    It’s completely normal to wonder if therapy is the right match for you. Building trust and feeling comfortable with your therapist is essential for meaningful growth. If at any point you feel unsure about our connection or approach, please let me know. We can talk openly about it and decide together whether to adjust our work or explore other options. Your comfort and progress are my top priorities, and I’m here to support you every step of the way whether that means continuing together or helping you find the best path forward.
