Veronica Perez-Kahl, LCSW
Therapist & CEO
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health from the University of Nevada Las Vegas. With over 10 years of clinical experience, I have dedicated my career to providing compassionate care across a variety of settings, including inpatient psychiatric hospitals, crisis intervention, mobile crisis assessments, outpatient services, and the Clark County School District (CCSD). Currently, I am in private practice, where I continue to support individuals with empathy and understanding.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of providing both administrative and clinical supervision to UNLV practicum students, CSW-interns, and licensed colleagues, fostering their growth and enhancing their knowledge base. My practice encompasses working with children (ages 5-12), youth, adults, couples, and families. I maintain an affirming stance for individuals who identify as members of the LGBTQIA+ community, ensuring that everyone feels valued and understood in our therapeutic relationship.
My commitment to compassion drives my approach, as I strive to alleviate the suffering of those I work with and empower them on their journey toward healing and growth.
My specializations include, but are not limited to treatment of adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, divorce, mood disorders, schizophrenia, trauma, and more. My passion for learning led me to return to school and currently working on a doctorate degree with emphasis in clinical psychology. I am invested in always seeking additional clinical skills to add to my toolbox to help all my clients. What differentiates me from other clinicians in the Vegas valley is that I have an innate ability to establish rapport, build trust, provide genuine compassion, empathetic listener and relate to individuals from all different walks of life.
I view the therapeutic process as an alliance between the client and myself and consider my clients as the experts of their lives. I use a variety of treatment modalities such as Art Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, and other modalities. My theoretical approach is based on the belief that my clients are in control of their therapeutic experience. I look forward to meeting you and working alongside you.
