Destiny Ward

Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life. My name is Destiny, and I’m proud of you for choosing to prioritize your mental health. Just by being present on this website, you’ve already taken a powerful first step toward healing and growth. At Anew Therapy and Wellness of Las Vegas, I offer individual therapy, family therapy, and couples therapy for adults ages 18 and up from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and identities. I’m a Las Vegas-based therapist who brings a warm, encouraging, and collaborative energy to therapy. I give just enough of a motivational push to keep you going, while always honoring your pace. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, or difficult life transitions, I’m here to provide a safe space for you to feel seen and supported. I also work with clients living with chronic illnesses such as HIV/AIDS, those adjusting to life after incarceration, and individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community who are seeking affirming care. Therapy with me is about helping you live your version of a fulfilling life—whatever that looks like for you. I’m passionate about supporting clients through real-life struggles, not from a place of judgment or “fixing,” but from a place of mutual respect and honest support. I’m not here to tell you what to do. A common misconception is that therapists give advice and have all the answers. The truth is: I don’t have your answers—but I’ll help you uncover them. Together, we’ll process what’s happening, explore what’s getting in the way, and build skills that empower you to cope and thrive. I have experience working with adults on the autism spectrum (Asperger’s / high-functioning autism), individuals navigating bipolar disorder, people facing identity challenges, and those managing chronic stress, burnout, or caregiving responsibilities. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re carrying it all alone, you don’t have to anymore. I want to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and compassion. My approach is primarily rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Strengths-Based techniques. These evidence-based practices help clients take control of unhelpful thought patterns, identify strengths, and make meaningful changes in both mindset and behavior. I’ll help you focus on the present, while building a future that feels hopeful and self-defined. Above all, I treat you like a person first—your struggles are only part of the story. You are allowed to be a work in progress and still be worthy of care, joy, and peace. This is your experience, and I’m honored to walk alongside you as we uncover the best version of you. To make therapy more accessible, I now offer a limited number of sliding scale sessions for clients in Las Vegas and surrounding cities who may not have health insurance or are facing financial difficulties. If affordability is a concern, please reach out to see if you qualify for one of these income-based lower-cost therapy slots. If you’re looking for a therapist in Las Vegas who will truly see you, meet you where you are, and help you grow with purpose and authenticity—let’s get started. You’ve already made it this far. Let’s do the rest together.
