About Chiante

Reaching out for support is a personal decision, and I believe you deserve a space where you can show up exactly as you are. You do not have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. Sometimes, you simply need a place where you can talk openly, feel heard, and begin working through the things that have become difficult to carry on your own.

My name is Dr. Chiante Jemison. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (CPC), Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC), and LCADC-Supervisor in Nevada. I also hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and am a U.S. Army Veteran. My professional journey has allowed me to work with people from many different walks of life, but one thing I have learned is that every person’s story deserves to be heard without judgment.

My work with clients is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and respect. I have experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use and recovery, relationship and family concerns, stress, anger, major life transitions, and those moments when life simply feels overwhelming. I also understand that sometimes people come to therapy not because everything is falling apart, but because they know something in their life needs to change.

As a veteran, clinician, and someone who deeply values personal growth, I understand that strength does not mean carrying everything by yourself. There are seasons in life when even strong, capable people need support, perspective, and a safe place to process what they are experiencing.

When we work together, you can expect me to listen, but you can also expect me to engage with you. I believe therapy should be a conversation. I will ask questions, help you look at situations from different perspectives, challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and work alongside you to identify practical ways to move forward. At the same time, I recognize that you are the expert on your own life, and I will respect your values, experiences, beliefs, and goals throughout the therapeutic process.

Most importantly, I want therapy to be a place where you feel comfortable being yourself. You don’t have to come in with the perfect words or know exactly where to begin. We can start wherever you are.

If you are ready to talk, work through something that has been weighing on you, or simply begin creating a healthier chapter in your life, I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process.
