About MaJo TherapY
Meet Joe
I am an inclusive Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with clients in Nevada, Utah, and South Carolina. I strive to make each client feel heard within a safe environment. I enjoy working with members of various communities, including the LGBTQIA population, sex/gender-diverse persons, individuals practicing ethical non-monogamy, and those in non-traditional relationships.
​
I strive to provide a warm and inviting environment to individuals, families, and couples in the Las Vegas community since 2016.
​
As a therapist, I believe in using a collaborative and an integrated approach that is tailored to the individual needs of each client that I am privileged to work with.
​​
In my free time, when I am not working with clients, you can find me reading and when I am not reading playing with my dogs, or listening to music.
Meet Matt
Originally from New England, I have lived in the Las Vegas Valley for the past 18 years. My experiences in the healthcare field showed me the need for mental health processionals for minority populations and this led me to pursue my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I work from a collaborative approach, which believes that the client and therapist are equal in the therapeutic relationship. I utilize modalities including Narrative Therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Gestalt Therapy.
As a member of an underserved minority population, I understand the need for a safe and welcoming environment in which clients can feel comfortable to be themselves. I specialize in supporting individuals in LGBTQIA+ communities and those in non-traditional relationships and works from a kink and sex positive perspective.
In my free time, you can find me gaming, reading sci-fi and fantasy novels, and playing with my two dogs. My recent endeavors include learning to bake and learning a second language.

Good Faith Estimate:
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, healthcare providers and healthcare facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal healthcare program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges. The law basically states:
-
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescriptions drugs, equipment, and hospital feels. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item.
-
You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item of service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate from a medical provider, you can dispute the bill.
-
Make sure you save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate for your records. You may also start a dispute resolution process with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days (about 4 months) of the date on the original bill.
-
There is a $25 fee to use the dispute process. If the agency reviewing your dispute agrees with you, you will have to pay the price on this GFE. If the agency disagrees with you and agrees with the health care provider or facility, you will have to pay the higher amount.
