Clinical Supervision & Consultation for Nevada Therapists
SAM RICHARDSON, LMFT — NEVADA MFT SUPERVISION & ADVANCED CASE CONSULTATION
Sam Richardson is the founder and clinical director of Las Vegas Therapy, an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, and a Nevada Board-approved supervisor with more than 20 years of clinical experience. He offers thoughtful, direct, relationship-centered supervision for eligible Nevada Marriage and Family Therapy interns—including therapists who do not work at Las Vegas Therapy—as well as advanced case consultation for independently licensed clinicians.
SUPERVISION THAT CONNECTS THEORY TO THE THERAPY ROOM
Sam helps therapists move beyond simply knowing a model and toward using it with clarity in complex sessions. Supervision may include treatment planning, ethical decision-making, use of self, case conceptualization, alliance ruptures, documentation, and review of recorded sessions when appropriate and properly consented to.
AREAS OF CLINICAL FOCUS
• Couples therapy, attachment and recurring conflict cycles
• Infidelity, betrayal and rebuilding trust
• Trauma, PTSD and EMDR-informed case conceptualization
• Problematic sexual behavior and shame
• Anxiety, depression and emotional disconnection
• Therapist development, confidence and sustainable practice
Sam is an EMDRIA Certified Therapist and has substantial training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems and mindfulness-based care. He also brings experience as a university instructor and mentor to a supervision style that balances support, accountability and concrete clinical feedback.
LICENSURE SUPERVISION OR CONSULTATION?
Formal licensure supervision is for eligible Nevada MFT interns and must meet current Nevada Board requirements under an approved supervision agreement. Advanced case consultation is designed for independently licensed therapists who want focused support with difficult cases or specialized clinical growth. Consultation does not replace licensure supervision and is not EMDRIA certification consultation unless it is provided under a separate qualifying credential and agreement.
If you are seeking primary or secondary supervision, specialized consultation, or help deciding which option fits your professional stage, review Sam’s supervision page and contact Las Vegas Therapy to discuss availability.
Liberty Pfeffer-Student Intern Supervisor
Supervising and mentoring student therapists is one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. With extensive experience in relationship dynamics, trauma, anxiety, perinatal mental health, and LGBTQ+ issues, I bring a collaborative, strengths-based approach to supervision. Having received training through the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), I prioritize creating a supportive space where student interns can build confidence, develop clinical skills, and grow both personally and professionally. I believe supervision, like therapy, thrives on trust, open communication, and mutual growth.
In my clinical work, I have helped clients strengthen relationships, heal from trauma, and navigate life transitions. I bring this real-world experience into supervision, offering guidance on treatment planning, ethical care, and navigating the complexities of therapeutic relationships. I am particularly passionate about helping student therapists feel equipped to support diverse populations, including LGBTQ+ clients and those experiencing perinatal challenges. My goal is to help student interns cultivate their unique therapeutic voice while providing effective, compassionate care to clients.

Billy Arndt LMFT LDAC-Training and supervision in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
Billy is deeply committed to inspiring personal growth and guiding individuals on a journey of self-reflection and healing. By fostering a person-centered, non-judgmental approach, he creates a supportive atmosphere where clients feel safe to explore their emotions, values, and goals. Billy believes that true transformation begins with understanding and accepting one’s inner experiences, and he is dedicated to helping clients cultivate this awareness. His approach integrates various evidence-based modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR, to address each client’s unique needs.
One of Billy’s strengths lies in effectively teaching and training the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a therapeutic approach that encourages individuals to embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than fight or avoid them. He helps clients connect with their core values, empowering them to make meaningful changes in their lives. Through his teaching, clients learn how to develop psychological flexibility, enabling them to respond to life’s challenges with resilience and clarity. Billy is passionate about not only guiding clients through this process but also training other professionals in the application of ACT, equipping them with the skills to inspire growth and transformation in their own clients.
