Hello. My name is Dr. Kriston Segura. I've been a psychologist in Nevada for over 20 years with a wide array of experiences. I've worked in prison/jail settings, nursing homes, out patient clinics as well as supervising and running programs for at risk families and youth. However, I've found the most satisfaction in my private practice working one-on-one with patients helping them work through and recover from traumas such as sexual abuse, domestic violence and associated illness (depression, anxiety, eating disorders). In addition, for the past decade I've been conducting psychological evaluation for bariatric/weight loss patients and providing follow up treatment. Even if you feel like your issues "aren't that bad" in comparison, please, don't ever minimize your experiences. However, ultimately, my goal is always to help my patient "go with their gut" and learn to intuitively learn what's best for them--even if it's not me. I also believe in finding your bliss in life--whatever that maybe--creative passions, work, family, hobbies. Personally, one of mine is all things Disney. I look forward to meeting with you and helping you walk along a path of balance and bliss.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
