Student Therapists

As part of their licensure journey, they complete extensive direct client hours while receiving ongoing supervision and support from experienced licensed therapists.

Nadine Lusmoeller, CPC
Summerlin Office
In-Person / Online Sessions
Nadine is a Clinical Professional Counseling (CPC) student at Truman State University, where she is completing her master’s degree after earning a BA in Psychology. She works with adults navigating trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, anxiety, grief, and depression.
Nadine believes trauma is more than something that happened to you, it can shape how you see yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. She helps clients move beyond simply surviving by making sense of the patterns trauma has created, reducing the grip of anxiety and painful emotions, and building practical tools for feeling safer, more grounded, and more in control.
After beginning a meaningful second chapter dedicated to trauma advocacy, Nadine found her passion in helping others heal. She offers a warm, compassionate space where clients feel genuinely heard, supported, and accepted without judgment. Fluent in both English and German, she meets clients where they are, helping them reconnect with themselves, build resilience, and move forward with greater confidence and hope.
Jha’laini Byers, MFT Student Intern
Henderson Office
In-Person Sessions
Relationships are at the heart of everything. How we feel about ourselves, how we show up for the people we love, and how we move through life’s biggest transitions. If you’re here, something matters enough that you’re willing to do the work. That takes courage, and I’m here.
I work with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents. Couples in conflict, new mothers navigating postpartum life, teens and their families, and anyone stuck in patterns that aren’t serving them. I use EFT and CBT, drawing on 7 years with at-risk youth and families.
My care honors your background, your identity, and your story. You deserve a space where you feel fully seen. Whatever brought you here, whether a relationship at a breaking point or a quiet sense something needs to change, I see you. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
