Therapist · Carson City & Reno
Gina Bemis, LCSW
When a family is in conflict, or an individual feels overwhelmed by life’s transitions, it can feel as though you are speaking different languages even in the same home. I’m Gina Bemis, a therapist in Carson City, NV and Reno, dedicated to helping children, teens and adults bridge those gaps. My priority is to create a collaborative, compassionate space where every voice is heard.
My work is deeply rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples and families, as well as specialised trauma care through EMDR. Whether you’re repairing a rift with your partner, supporting a child through creative play therapy, or finding your own internal safety after a difficult experience, we build the practical tools and deeper insights that make change last.
I’ve lived and worked in the Reno area for over twenty years and have been a licensed practising social worker since 2003. During my undergraduate studies I lived in Guam, where I gained a deep appreciation for the Chamorro culture.
