Encounters Counseling and Recovery, LLC

Encounters Counseling and Recovery is a mental health practice at 2820 W Charleston Blvd, Suite D41, in the 89102 zip code near the medical corridor of central Las Vegas. This is not an activity program or a class. It is a counseling office, and it belongs in a youth directory because a meaningful share of its services are built for kids, teens, and the parents raising them.

The listed services include child therapy, adolescent counseling, family counseling, play therapy, parenting support, and parent coaching. Play therapy is the standard approach for younger children who cannot yet talk through their feelings the way adults do, and its presence on the list signals the practice works with early elementary ages, not just teens. The parent coaching and parenting support offerings mean a parent can seek help on their own even if the child never sits in a session.

The listing shows an age range of birth through 18, with brackets of 0 to 4, 5 to 12, and 13 to 18. Since 0 to 18 is also this directory's default range, treat the exact endpoints as approximate and confirm with the office which ages a given therapist accepts. The practice is marked as friendly to kids with special needs, with ADHD support, emotional and behavioral support, play therapy, and mental health counseling specifically noted.

Office hours are Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, closed Sunday. Saturday availability is worth underlining, because weekend appointments are scarce among child therapists in this valley and they spare kids from missing school for sessions.

Services are offered in English and Spanish, which matters in a city where many families prefer therapy in Spanish. Pricing sits in the higher range on our scale, and the listing does not specify session rates or insurance participation, so ask about both when you call. To ask about openings, therapist availability for your child's age, or whether your insurance is accepted, call (702) 742-1500 or start at encounterslv.com.
