Resources
Whether you’re facing divorce, sexual addiction, drug and alcohol rehabilitation or other issues, Kayenta’s network of compassionate professionals can provide the tools and resources necessary for recovery.

Please note therapists at Kayenta are unable to provide legal counsel. If you wish to pursue legal action against an abuser or have questions about the process, consult an attorney. Nevada law students are required to do Pro Bono and public service work and may be able to provide free legal assistance. For more information visit American Bar Association.
If you are facing a situation involving domestic violence, abuse of any kind, or thoughts of suicide, please seek help. Victims of violence and abuse often view their problems as unsolvable. They feel powerless and unworthy as the aggressor has them convinced they’ve “done this to themselves.” Nothing could be further from the truth. They are not alone.
