Meet our Team of Counselors & Therapists
Hi, I’m Christine Lawler.
Therapy is tender work. If you’re going to do the vulnerable work of opening up, you deserve to be in the best hands possible. I graduated from the #1 Marriage and Family Therapy program in the country and have done thousands of hours of continuing education, read hundreds of books, and have multiple advanced certifications. You deserve the best possible mental health treatment available. You’re in good hands– let’s dive in!
Hi, I’m Leslie Frederick.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have long had a passion for helping and serving others.
I began my career as a social worker for a local hospice. I found great purpose in helping families navigate the unpredictable twists and turns that undoubtedly come along with the end of life for their loved ones. After many years in hospice, I transitioned to a medical social work position in a hospital, which then led me to a Clinical Social Work Intern position in an inpatient psych hospital. During this time, I enjoyed working with a range of individuals and families. The vast array of cases I encountered in the hospital allowed me to gain the experience and skills needed to serve a multitude of clients. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and believe in meeting a client where they are at in order to tailor treatment to meet their individualized needs and work towards their specific goals.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Northern Arizona University and a Masters in Social Work from UNLV. I am originally from Northwest Indiana and have lived in Las Vegas for over ten years with my husband and our three children. We love living out west and enjoy spending time traveling and exploring our neighboring states.
Hi, I’m Christopher Adams.
Hi, I’m Kim Boschee.
I’ve been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since 2005. Originally from the Midwest, I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology/English Literature at Illinois Wesleyan University and then finished my graduate studies in Counseling Psychology at Indiana University. I moved to Las Vegas in 2002 to complete my graduate internship, and liked it here so much, I decided to stay!
Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed, therapy is a transformative way to safely sort through these emotions. Together, we will create an action plan to promote a sense of empowerment in your life, generating improved well-being as well as sustainable changes. If doing less isn’t an option, then let’s do better.
I love working with couples, families, individuals, and adolescents from the lenses of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Functional Family Therapy (FFT), and the Gottman Method. My career began in the government sector and has included both agency and nonprofit arenas. Currently, I work with clients in a variety of stressful, demanding career fields including medicine/healthcare, business leadership, academia, and financial planning.
Outside of the office, you’ll find me in the mountains or on the golf course; I’ve been a member of Red Rock Search and Rescue since 2020 and am the (very proud!) mom to a competitive junior golfer. I believe in a holistic approach to life and work to weave this mindset in all areas of my life.
Hi, I’m Cassandra Bohnett.

I specialize in treating trauma, addictions, anxiety, depression, and relational issues through an attachment-focused lens. Whether you’re struggling with unresolved childhood trauma, navigating challenging relationships, or seeking to cultivate greater self-awareness and resilience, I am here to support you every step of the way.
When I’m not in the therapy room, I enjoy hiking and exploring the outdoors with my two dogs. I believe in the importance of self-care and balance, and I strive to incorporate these values into my personal and professional life.
Hi, I’m Aryn Miller.
I am a Certified Professional Counselor (CPC) licensed to practice in Ohio and Nevada.

Hi, I’m Eli Gomez.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Nevada. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies with an emphasis in Pastoral Ministry from Life Pacific College and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University.
My background includes over 12 years of experience as a Hospice Chaplain, where I worked closely with individuals navigating grief and loss. In addition, I’ve spent time in various church settings, including youth, marriage, counseling, and men’s leadership, which has given me a broad perspective on the life dynamics people face.
I’ve developed a particular passion for working with teenagers dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other emotional concerns. My therapeutic approach is grounded in compassion and collaboration, always focused on finding the best path forward for each individual. I also have training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and ADHD.

Hi, I’m Courtney Burns.

I also worked in youth corrections and as a counselor for both a domestic violence shelter and a rape crisis center.
After arriving in Las Vegas, I taught general education for ten years while Master’s in counseling. In addition to my LCPC-I, I am currently completing the requirements for additional LADC and NBCC licensure.
With an eclectic approach to therapy, I tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs by drawing from a variety of therapeutic techniques. Whether you are facing anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, or any life transition, we will work together to uncover what is holding you back and create a path forward.
I have worked with Christine for years. She’s smart, down to earth, and full of empathy. She is a safe place and a voice of reason. She’s the person I talk to during the highest highs and the lowest lows. She always provides non-judgmental insight and listens with understanding. I can trust her with anything.
