OUR STORY
Beyond therapy started as a faith-based therapy center called ICLV Wellness Center with a desire to service the Christian community in Las Vegas. While pursuing her master's degree, Pastor Paul Goulet asked his eldest daughter, Isabelle to open the center. Since 2005, She developed a center that has served countless clients, and trained many students and interns in the community. As the center continued to grow, it was determined that it was time to expand to be a multifaceted center to reach and help more people, which is now called Beyond Therapy, a privately owned center.
Beyond Therapy works to provide the most research based, quality and advanced techniques in therapy to our clients. We train our students and interns to be client and holistically focused. Additionally, we work hand in hand with other great practitioners in town who specialize in nutrition, fitness, medicine and many other areas. We believe in each person's capacity to change and grow as they process through the difficulty's life may bring. Beyond therapy aims to educate each person about what trauma is and how it affects us. Destigmatizing trauma allows our clients to come out of shame and heal in a safe place. All our clinicians are also trained how to integrate faith into their practices. We continue to be a resource to the Christian community as we expand. Our goal is to create safety for our clients to grow and heal. We all have traumas that affect us differently and as a center our goal is to come alongside people in their journey to heal and go BEYOND their trauma.

Seema Anwar
MFT Intern
I am a licensed Couple and Family Therapist State Intern and received my Master of Science in
Couple and Family Therapy from UNLV. I use an Experiential lens to guide my work by emphasizing emotions, authenticity, genuineness, and having unconditional positive regard. I also integrate this overall approach with Motivational Interviewing, and at times Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy. I meet my clients where they are and use the best approach to fit their needs. I value the use of empathy, warmth and having a non-judgmental stance to build trust and elicit change.
I have experience working with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and self-worth, trauma, couple’s work, boundary building, and family dynamics. I also ensure there is a focus on learning and supporting individuals, couples, and families with their diverse identities (cultural,
racial, ethnic, sexual, spiritual, religious, etc.). Working systemically with my clients, offering a
different perspective, and being collaborative allows me to be part of their journey to heal and
grow.
Elena Angelkova
MFT Intern
​
I am a licensed Couple and Family Therapist Intern and received my Master’s of Science in Couple and Family Therapy from UNLV. I chose this career because I love helping people with their mental health struggles, and love being part of their healing journey. I view people from a holistic perspective. I want to comprehend all the systems they are a part of and be able to help clients to the best of my ability. Also, try to acknowledge and appreciate the client’s cultural and ethnic background while, portraying cultural humility and competence throughout the process of therapy. I believe every person that comes to therapy is unique, and because of this, I take on a collaborative approach. I do this by providing a space for the client to voice their needs and what works best for them.
I use an interconnected approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and some Experiential Therapy, fostering a nonjudgmental, safe, and compassionate space for each client. I have experience working with
trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, navigation of certain mental disorders (ADHD, Autism, etc.), parenting, boundaries work, couples therapy, and family therapy. I am extremely passionate about helping people process grief (dying of a loved one, life transitions, etc.) and
helping individuals, couples, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds who suffer from chronic and/or terminal illnesses.

Deise Borghett
MFT Intern
We all encounter challenges in life, and at times, they can leave us feeling stuck, lost, unmotivated and emotionally overwhelmed. My role as a therapist is to guide and support you through this journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance, growth, and fulfillment. I recognize the uniqueness of everyone who seeks support in my therapy room, and I deeply value the complexity of human experiences. By nurturing a safe and empathetic space, my goal is to equip you with the tools to embrace your strengths and confront life's complexities with resilience, purpose, and determination.
I'm a bilingual Marriage and Family Therapist Intern, offering counseling services in both English and Portuguese. My experience covers a range of mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-esteem. I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques, and my practice encompasses working with individuals, teenagers, and couples.
Our bodies are living time capsules. The impact of trauma and relationship stress leaves its mark on our physiology, posture, and talks through the way we move, keeping us trapped in outdated psychological patterns. I help you get beneath the words to guide you to reconnect back to the innate wisdom of the body and shift from old patterns and limited beliefs. Every body has a voice, what does yours say? Inviting someone to come alongside us, to be heard and seen and to help guide you to shifting from some of our pain leads to healing and growth.
