Therapy in Las Vegas by the numbers
Based on 2748 licensed therapists across the US, including 28 in Las Vegas · Updated July 2026
What to expect from therapy in Las Vegas
Whether you're new to therapy or have tried it before, here's what working through a child's struggles with a Las Vegas-based (or Nevada-licensed online) therapist usually looks like.
Hearing the family's story
Before working with your child, the therapist gathers background from you — development, school, recent changes — and may ask for input from teachers with your permission.
Getting comfortable
Early sessions with your child are about trust. Younger children often play or draw while they talk; older children and teens may simply chat about their interests at first.
Methods that fit the age
Play therapy is common for young children; school-age children and teens often work with CBT, art or talk therapy. The therapist explains which approach they're using and why.
Family check-ins
Expect periodic sessions with parents or the whole family to review progress, agree on next steps, and decide together when therapy can wind down.

Getting your child the right support in Las Vegas, Nevada
Is it a phase, or something more? It's the question most parents start with. Local pressures in Las Vegas, such as gambling addiction, shift-work stress, and relationship challenges, can reach children through the adults around them. If a change has lasted several weeks, keeps growing, or gets in the way of school, sleep or friendships, it's worth a conversation with a child therapist in Las Vegas.
Social skills groups give some children a structured place to practice making and keeping friends. Cognitive behavioral approaches suit older children and teens, especially for anxiety, low mood and anger.
What the listings show for children's counseling in Las Vegas
FindSupport lists 28 therapists based in Las Vegas. Not every profile lists child therapy as a focus, so read the specialties before you reach out.
Check each profile for online sessions; for child therapy, any therapist licensed in Nevada can see you by video. Online parent sessions are a practical option even when your child's own sessions are in person. Plan on $80–$180 for each session of child therapy in Las Vegas, before insurance or sliding-scale discounts.
Before you book a first appointment for your child
Persistent worry, frequent stomachaches before school, or a return to behaviors your child had outgrown are common indicators. If a child's behavior swings with a parent's work schedule — harder in weeks of night shifts or long stretches away — that pattern is useful for a therapist to hear.
If you need testing for ADHD, autism or a learning difference, look for a child psychologist who does evaluations; a therapist can usually refer you to one. Ask how parents are involved and what will be shared with you from your child's sessions. If you work shifts, ask about early, late or weekend appointments, and whether parent check-ins can happen by phone. Reading two or three child therapist profiles in Las Vegas side by side — focus areas, approach, fees — is often the quickest way to a short list.

Find child therapy help in Las Vegas →Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get child counseling online in Nevada?
Yes. Online child therapy works well for many people. The therapist needs to be licensed in Nevada (where you are during the session), so you aren't limited to child therapists based in Las Vegas. Teens often find video easier to fit around school, while younger children usually start in person.
How many therapists does FindSupport list in Las Vegas for child therapy?
28 therapists based in Las Vegas are listed. Not every profile names child therapy as a specialty — describe what you're dealing with and we'll surface the ones who fit.
Where else in Nevada can I find a child therapist?
Try Reno and Henderson: FindSupport lists 23 therapists in Reno, 4% of whom work with children; 18 therapists in Henderson. For video sessions, the therapist needs a Nevada license, not an address nearby.
How much does child therapy cost in Las Vegas?
Expect about $80–$180 per session for child therapy in Las Vegas. For a sense of scale, twelve weekly sessions at that rate come to about $960–$2,160 before insurance or sliding-scale discounts. Ask about insurance and sliding-scale fees when you reach out — many therapists offer one or the other.
Can a child have anxiety or depression?
Yes. Children can have anxiety disorders and depression, though they often show it differently from adults — through irritability, stomachaches, clinginess, school refusal or losing interest in play. Both are treatable, and it helps to start early.
Can therapy help my child after a divorce?
Yes. Children often blame themselves, worry about loyalty to each parent, or struggle with moving between two homes. A child therapist gives them a neutral place to talk and can help both parents respond in consistent ways.
How do I explain therapy to my child?
Keep it simple and positive: a therapist is someone who helps kids with feelings and worries, the way a doctor helps with a sore throat. Let your child know they're not in trouble.
