Master's in Education: Special Education
Hi! My name is Ashley Miller and I am a Psychosocial Rehabilitation and Basic Skills Training provider for Elements of Motivation. I have been working as a PSR/BST provider for the last 13 years. I was a Special Education Teacher for CCSD for the last 14 years. I love working with children and adolescents who have different learning disabilities. Over the years of teaching, led me to pursue a second career in behavioral and mental health. I am very passionate about working with children of all ages and adults. Seeing each of my clients grow with the tools and strategies that I supply to them. During sessions, playing cards & board games, you might see me making slime, and/or making calming glitter bottles, because the language of children is play!! My ultimate goal is to develop a great relationship with my clients and then find a FUN and IMPACTFUL way to help with reaching their behavioral and emotional goals related to anger, frustration, aggression, improving communication and attention span. It’s also important that I provide support in parenting, having an open communication, and behavior management, as needed. I hope that I can make an IMPACT on any adult, any child and their family by giving them new strategies each week to work on. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, going to baseball and hockey games, reading books, baking, and hanging out with my family.
Great day! I'm Genesis Lightbourne, and I hold a Masters of Social Work and a BA in Psychology with a Minor in Human Development and Family Studies from Iowa State University. As an LMSW and LCADC-Intern, I have been dedicated to the social service field for over 14 years. Born and raised in Las Vegas, NV, I cherish spending time outdoors and exploring new hobbies and interests.
My journey in social work began immediately after college, and I've gained extensive experience in various areas of the field. My first love was basketball, as I was a student-athlete on the women’s basketball team, but I quickly found my next passion in social work. I'm incredibly grateful for the mentors who have guided me along the way, both past and present.
What I love most about being a mental health professional is that every day brings new opportunities and challenges. The energy we bring to each day is vital in addressing life's hurdles. My primary focus areas are stress management, coping strategies, communication, and self-expression.
I am available for sessions in the late afternoon and evenings during the week, as well as on Saturdays. I look forward to working with you and tailoring our sessions to meet your specific needs and interests. During our initial visit, we will establish rapport, discuss your goals, and set therapeutic expectations.
I appreciate the opportunity to work with you and support your journey toward well-being.
Jerome Johnson II began his career in the mental health field in 2016 after earning his Bachelor's Degree from the University of Nevada-Reno. He is deeply passionate about helping clients navigate through tough times, empowering them to achieve great things, and advocating for their well-being. Jerome's therapeutic approach is centered on creating a conversational atmosphere in sessions, using open-ended questions to encourage clients to open up without feeling interrogated.
Jerome's personality as a people person, great listener, and fun individual significantly influences his therapeutic approach. He believes that establishing boundaries is a key component of the therapeutic relationship. While he keeps his personal beliefs separate from his treatment philosophy, Jerome maintains that there is always a way out of struggle if one believes in themselves. In his personal life, he is a husband, father, and provider, and his experience as a mental health professional has taught him that no two cases are the same; each client’s situation is unique and requires a tailored approach.
Jerome wants his clients to know that with belief and determination, any struggle can be overcome. His guiding principle is, "Stand for something, or fall for anything."

Hi! I'm Tiffany Miller, and I've been dedicated to the Mental Health World in Las Vegas for the past 14 years. I graduated from Argosy University with a degree in Psychology, concentrating on Criminal Justice. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I worked at Desert Parkway Hospital on the kids and military/first responder unit for over a year. While I appreciated the learning experience, I discovered my true passion lies in being out in the field rather than in a hospital setting.
I find immense joy in working with kids of all ages and enjoy working with adults as well. As a PSR/BST worker, my primary goal is to help each client achieve their goals and find success in life. I love challenging my clients during our sessions, encouraging them to see the best within themselves. I often incorporate card games into our sessions, a technique I discovered during my hospital work, as they are excellent coping tools.
In my professional journey, I've learned a great deal from my clients, which has strengthened my ability to support them to their fullest potential. My clients know that our sessions are a judgment-free zone where I am there solely for them. Building trust is crucial for successful client relationships, and I strive to foster that trust in every session.
On a personal note, I am a single mom to an amazing adult son. I'm an avid supporter of the Golden Knights and Angels baseball. Throughout my son's childhood, I was his biggest cheerleader at his baseball games. In my spare time, I love participating in Run Disney events at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, chasing personal run goals and collecting medals. Growing up in Southern California, my love for Disney runs deep. My motto is simple yet powerful: "Believe in Yourself!"
My name is Ahmad Lewis and I am originally from California. I decided to move to Las Vegas Nevada in 2015 to continue my college education. I am currently engaged with one baby girl and have a dog named Bruno.
I have worked as a psycho-social rehabilitation specialist with Elements of Motivation since 2019. I have also worked with an alternative company as a PSR specialist since 2017. My primary occupation of 4 years is being a High School Counselor at Nevada State High School.
I currently hold 3 different college degrees including an associate’s degree in behavioral health and sciences from Riverside California, a bachelor's degree in Sociology from the University of Nevada Las Vegas, and a master’s degree in School counseling from the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
My experience and educational background have helped me develop my philosophy in the helping profession which includes discipline, tenacity, and goal setting will make anyone successful. I also believe that we have the choice to make our own lives great or subpar and that we make these decisions on a daily basis. Some concepts that I focus on with my clients are becoming independent, utilizing consequential thinking skills, communicating emotional needs and so much more.
I look forward to meeting you!
