Shannon Kossick
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCADC
Something brought you here. Maybe you've been holding it together for a long time and you're tired. Maybe something happened and you haven't been able to shake it. Maybe you just know that the way things are isn't how you want them to stay.
I work with adults who are ready to slow down and get curious about what's really going on beneath the surface. Using EMDR, IFS, and somatic therapy, I help people understand their nervous system, process what they've been carrying, and find a steadier, more grounded way forward. My approach is warm, unhurried, and body-aware. I believe healing happens in relationship, and I take that seriously.
I'm an LCSW and LCADC with advanced training in EMDR and IFS, and a registered trauma-informed yoga teacher. I see clients in person in Carson City and via telehealth across Nevada.

Philip Gnilka
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, CPC, LPC, LCPC, CCMHC, NCC
Many of my clients beat themselves up after challenging days, have increased anxiety, and a lingering sense of self-criticism over minor mistakes. They constantly replay alternative scenarios which end up becoming an incessant loop, persisting for days or even weeks. Frustration grows as they struggle to shake off this self-critical mindset, fostering thoughts of inadequacy and impostor syndrome. Worries about disappointing others both professionally and personally contributes to exhaustion daily. Despite attempts by friends and family to offer support, the feeling of being truly understood remains elusive, deepening the overall sense of fatigue.
If you aspire to regain a sense of engagement in your life, pursue excellence in your career and personal life, experience love and support, and better manage stress and anxiety, these goals can be well within reach.
I collaborate with my clients in helping understand the driving forces behind their pursuit of achievement and instilling hope in the possibility of change. Together, we craft solutions that sustain high performance while transforming the self-critical inner dialogue into one of support. I assist my clients learn a set of tools designed to temper self-criticism and manage anxiety, paving the way to a more calmer and focused life.
If maintaining peak performance while navigating heightened anxiety and silencing that inner critic resonate with you, reach out for a complementary 15 minute session. Prior to transitioning into private practice, I spent over a decade as a tenured professor. Throughout this time, my research delved into perfectionism, anxiety, and stress management. I am enthusiastic about helping clients learn the knowledge and insights gained from this experience to guide you toward a more fulfilling, balanced life.

Reno's rapid growth — driven by a wave of tech and logistics companies relocating from California, anchored by facilities from Tesla, Apple, and Amazon — has transformed a gambling-and-entertainment city into a more economically diverse metro, and its therapy community is evolving to serve both the long-established casino workforce and a growing population of tech transplants. The city's proximity to the Sierra Nevada and outdoor recreation culture attracts a younger, health-conscious demographic who are generally comfortable seeking therapy, while the older gaming-industry workforce may carry greater stigma around help-seeking. Renown Health and the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private therapy community. Reno's significant homeless population and substance use challenges mean therapists specializing in co-occurring disorders serve an especially important community role.
