Psychotherapy is a collaborative treatment based on the relationship between an individual and a therapist. Grounded in dialogue, it provides a supportive environment that allows you to talk openly with someone who's objective, neutral and nonjudgmental. The most important elements of effectiveness in therapy are human and relational.
In other words, finding a therapist that is warm, caring, empathetic, knowledgeable, and is able to interact with you in a way that is healing is going to be most effective in changing your life. My mission is to ensure that you have individualized treatment so that you don't feel like "just another client".

I'm a private practice therapist focused on giving personalized care to each individual or couple so you don't feel like "just another client". I graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas with my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 2006. I then moved on to graduate from Capella University in 2012 with my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Counseling.
I realize that no two people are the same and tailor your therapeutic experience to meet your needs. This can change from session to session, however your treatment plan will not change. Working collaboratively to reach your goals is important to me. I encourage open and honest communication about your satisfaction regarding treatment and your treatment goals.
Email me for therapy information, questions & comments, including those about the types of insurance I take, fees, or anything else you need answered. Therapy doesn't necessarily have to be a dry, clinical experience. I try to invigorate your time with conversation that feels driven and lively so that you're getting therapy without feeling "under the microscope".
One type of therapy I use is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Through a system of goal oriented practices we will work together to get your life back on track. Whether you need help with codependency, communication, or self esteem; therapy can help. However, I often use a combination of Emotionally Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems to help individuals and couples access parts of themselves that they may otherwise have trouble working on.
Could you use an expert opinion on what you're going through, or a non-judgemental ear just to listen? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then individual therapy could be the solution you've been seeking. Individual therapy differs from group or alternative therapy methods in the way that you are the sole focus of a single therapist who helps you develop and achieve your goals for therapy.

Sawyer is an absolutely amazing therapist. He has helped my husband and I better communicate and work through some tough issues. He has also helped me navigate through some painful situations and emotions from my past. He is calm, thoughtful, curious, empathetic and also brings a sense of humor when needed. We are so happy we found him!

Sawyer Longson has witnessed, supported and expertly navigated with me through the most difficult time in my life! I have been working with him for over three years. Sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly. Sawyer remembers everything and is a world class listener. He has seen me at my worst and made it okay to be not okay. I appreciate his ability to genuinely understand my uniqueness and his quickness to celebrate life successes with me.
Sawyer's offices honor diversity and compassion. He weIcomes you to come as you are.
I am so grateful for the growth I have experienced working with this

I saw Sarah Longson in Las Vegas for a few months while visiting family. I had issues with my marriage that I needed some clarity on and overall just needed someone to listen to me and give back non judgmental feedback. I am so grateful I found Sarah. She is great at helping me see things from a different perspective. I found her to be warm, comforting and knowledgeable. I found her to be very supportive of my thoughts and actions. Every time I visit Las Vegas, I will be sure to stop by Sarah's office for a mental check up!

Sarah has been my therapist for nearly two years. I followed her from the previous office that she was a part of to her own practice. Her office is a great environment and even the waiting room is tranquil. Sarah is very knowledgeable and has helped me achieve my mental health goals both short term and long term. She is respectful, caring, compassionate, and is free from being judgmental. I'm comfortable discussing the issues of my life and l feel safe in her care. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone in need of a great therapist.

Sarah helped me during one of the most difficult times of my life. She was the first mental health care specialist that I saw regularly, and she made the process incredibly easy. I always felt cared for, listened to, and understood without judgement. Sarah is the utmost professional while always remaining a kind and considerate person. Without any hesitation, I would recommend seeing Sarah if you are in a place in your life where you could use some advice, or just someone to listen.

I saw Sarah for several months while living in Las Vegas. Sarah was incredibly helpful to me during a very difficult time in my life. I would recommend Sarah to anyone who is looking for an insightful and direct yet sensitive approach to counseling. Sarah was easy to open up to and her guidance was a tremendous help. One of the best counseling experiences I've been a part of.
