Aliasha Chevalier, MFT-INTERN
Growing up in Detroit, Michigan, gifted me the privilege of a diverse circle of friends, instilling in me a profound appreciation for celebrating differences. I believe that I was afforded great opportunities to develop great character and resilience. In my early years, a passion for making a
difference steered me toward a career in Marriage and Family Child Therapy, pursuing studies at the University of Phoenix. Now a state-licensed Marriage Family and Child Therapist-Intern in the lively Las Vegas Valley, my professional journey has encompassed work in youth group homes, Behavioral Health Agencies, hospital emergency room settings, medical clinic work, and providing care to CCSD students during the complex 2020 school year during COVID. In response to evolving circumstances, I have recently redirected my focus toward supporting straight/LGBTQIA+ couples and individuals facing anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I offer telehealth services or in-person sessions, my commitment is unwavering. I am excited to extend tailored support, recognizing the unique circumstances of each client, and dedicated to fostering resilience and understanding. This passion has seamlessly transitioned into my professional life, where I actively seek to surround myself with individuals from varied cultural, socio-economic, religious, political, and sexual identity backgrounds. In my current role, I find immense fulfillment in working with a diverse population of couples, individuals, and children waiting to be placed (in foster care, adoption, or family reunification).
My approach involves highlighting the evolving landscape of our world, emphasizing that traditional gender roles may not universally apply to every marriage. All along recognizing that taking the step to seek therapy can be a challenging decision, I acknowledge the hesitations around involving someone else in relationship struggles and mental health challenges. As a seasoned intern-therapist, I’ve been privileged to support clients in developing skills to navigate these challenges, whether they stem from a couple’s dynamic or an individual’s quest for a new path. I am here to support you every step of the way!
