Therapy in Summerlin (Las Vegas), NV | Counselor Dama Perez
Summerlin often looks polished and put together from the outside. Beautiful neighborhoods, high-achieving households, a lifestyle that feels structured and intentional. But inside many homes in Summerlin, Las Vegas, NV, couples are quietly navigating disconnection, resentment, or conversations that never quite land. I work with first-generation Latinas, professionals of color, and multicultural couples who want more than just coexistence. Therapy centers culture, attachment-wounds, grief, and the emotional labor that too often goes unseen.
Over the years, I have supported clients across the Las Vegas area who are balancing demanding careers, family expectations, and the pressure to appear strong. Summerlin is known for its driven professionals, growing families, and goal-oriented mindset. Many couples here are building beautiful lives while privately struggling to feel emotionally safe with each other.
Beneath the stability and success, there is often cultural guilt, fear of conflict, and generational patterns that taught silence over repair. In a community that values composure and achievement, vulnerability can feel uncomfortable. Therapy in Summerlin becomes a grounded space to rebuild emotional-safety, interrupt relational-patterns, and create connection that feels mutual, steady, and rooted in honesty.
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.
