Therapy for Teens and Young Adults in Las Vegas
Are you a teen or young adult in Las Vegas navigating relationships, identity, life transitions, or new mental health diagnoses? You're not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
I’m Lexi Thomas (she/her), a therapist offering therapy for teens and young adults across Las Vegas and throughout Nevada. I specialize in supporting neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ clients through the ups and downs of their teenage years and early adulthood. I work with clients who are navigating some of life’s toughest transitions; figuring out who they are, how they relate to others, and how to manage the pressures of the world around them. My passion lies in helping neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ teens and young adults feel safe enough to explore deep topics, express their emotions, and develop a deeper sense of self without the pressure to mask or meet anyone else’s expectations. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, feeling disconnected, or simply trying to make sense of it all, I offer a therapeutic space where you can show up as yourself.
Las Vegas Teen Therapy That Centers Your Experience
High school and college are full of change and uncertainty. From academic pressure and social stress to family dynamics and questions of identity, it’s a lot to carry. Many of the teens I work with feel like they’re constantly “on,” performing for others while silently struggling with anxiety, sadness, or burnout.
In therapy, you don’t need to have all the answers. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on beneath the surface and develop tools that actually work for your brain, your body, and your life.
Some of the most common reasons Las Vegas teens start therapy with me include:
Feeling overwhelmed by school, friendships, or expectations
Difficulty managing emotions, sleep, or routines
Exploring gender identity or sexual orientation
Dealing with anxiety, depression, and overwhelm
Wanting to improve communication and boundaries at home or school
My Approach as a Therapist
I combine person-centered and trauma-informed approaches to create a therapeutic space that’s flexible, collaborative, and affirming. My job is to walk alongside you as you uncover what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to be processed or healed. I often use DBT, and also incorporate tools for emotional regulation, self-compassion, executive functioning support, and identity work.
In-Person & Online Therapy for Teens and Young Adults in Las Vegas

Who I am, and how I got here:
I have always enjoyed the human mind, how it works, and how we can change and shape it. My path into counseling grew out of a passion for helping others make sense of their experiences, especially those navigating neurodivergence, identity development, and major life transitions. Along the way, I’ve worked with many incredible people. I most often work with queer teens, young adults, and new parents. I’ve learned that healing looks different for everyone, and that safety and affirmation are essential for growth.
Who I help:
I work with queer and neurodivergent teens and young adults who are facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or adjusting to new or suspected diagnoses like ADHD or Autism. I also love supporting new moms navigating postpartum shifts. Whether you’re exploring your identity, building healthier relationships, or working through past experiences, I strive to create a space where you feel seen, safe, and supported.
How I help:
Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to mask or filter who you are. My style is warm, curious, and client-centered. I believe we are the experts of ourselves, and my goal is to guide clients in finding the strength and tools to utilize that expertise. I use a trauma-informed approach, blending DBT and CBT skills to help you manage overwhelm, improve emotional regulation, and build confidence as you move through life’s challenges.
Off the clock:
When I am not in sessions, I am usually spending time with my family. My favorite activities vary depending on the season. I enjoy spending time outside, often wishing I was at the beach. I love to sit down with a good book and an iced coffee. When it's too cold outside, you can find me binge watching a new show under a warm blanket. :)"
