Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in 85260

I believe we all have the capacity to learn, grow, heal and create long-lasting change. We hold the innate ability to discover and realize our true potential and live an authentic life in line with our deepest values. I view therapy as a shared, supportive, compassionate journey that can help you tune into your authentic self, develop attainable goals and work toward sustainable, meaningful change. By holistically addressing and integrating mind, body and spirit, all kinds of challenges-depression, anxiety, divorce, stress, relationship issues, grief, life transitions, and trauma-can be better understood and overcome.

Who we have had to be in the past, has no bearing on who we become in the future. We all deserve the space to grow and become. Jack is a guide through the transformation process of change. Through holistic therapies including Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Gestalt, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Post-Induction Therapy (PIT), the goal of treatment is to bring our nervous system into a place of balance, give it space to grow, and create a life that is intentional and forward-looking.

If you often find yourself feeling stuck in the past, anxious about the future, and have difficulty staying in the present moment, you are not alone, and help is available.

You may struggle with relationship issues, codependency, confidence, shame, and other painful experiences. I am here to guide and collaborate with each client to meet their needs. I believe that each person deserves and can achieve a fulfilling life.

Are you looking for a nonjudgmental, safe space to learn skills to feel better? Clients that seek me out are often looking for support in managing intense emotions like anxiety, depression, and mania. They often feel powerless over their feelings. For children and teens, sometimes this is observed through behaviors like isolation, acting out, or self-harming. Many times they wish there was a magic pill that could just solve all their problems so they could not feel like they are simply surviving. As we work together we will improve coping skills, connect with meaning and purpose, manage distress and create a more fulfilling life.

NOT Accepting new clients: Are you struggling with feelings of negative emotions that are paralyzing? Ever have thoughts such as "I'm not deserving, I'm not good enough, I'm a failure, or I can't trust myself"? These can be healed and addressed with counseling while learning how to appropriately manage emotions through effective coping and healing of past traumas. EMDR is a form of treatment that allows the body to heal by eliminating the impact of negative beliefs from unresolved trauma and emotional distress. I integrate parts work and the goal is to let all parts of you feel seen and heard.

My calling is to help people on their journey to healing and wellness. Real healing and growth, I believe, is achieved by addressing the multiple dimensions that make us human beings: caring not only for the body but also the mind and spirit.

Via psychotherapy and assessment, I support individuals, couples, families, and organizations through the changing seasons of life.

Particular attunement is provided to BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and neurodiverse/autistic communities. My goal is to help communities live in alignment with their values.

Your relationships are exhausting, work is utter drudgery, and your life feels like a series of haphazard demands. You’re sick of people-pleasing, but you can’t seem to stop. Invisibility used to be your superpower (secretly, you like that nobody notices your mistakes), but it feels like you have no purpose in your life anymore. You’ve stopped setting goals because let’s face it, you probably won’t meet them anyway. That inner critic is holding you hostage. You don’t even want to try. You’re tired of trying to make new friends and speak up for yourself. Feeling completely defeated, you’re on the verge of giving up altogether.

Amanda’s specialty is working with individuals ages 13 and up who are experiencing life or life cycle transitions and need additional support through that transitioning time period. This might look like a mother experiencing perinatal mental health concerns or recovering from birth trauma. Or it might look like a teenager experiencing higher anxiety levels and needing a therapist who tailors coping skills to that specific teen and their circumstances. Perhaps you are struggling at work with anxiety or feeling overwhelmed and can’t quite articulate the “why” behind it yet.
