The decision to seek therapy is not always an easy one, but can be one of the most beneficial choices a person can make. My main priority as a therapist is to help my clients feel comfortable while offering a neutral and unbiased perspective to their current challenges. I have worked with a variety of presenting concerns, but have extensive experience in attachment-based therapeutic approaches helping couples to address communication issues, sexual relationship concerns, relationship injuries and infidelity. I also have a strong background in working with children and families in the areas of parenting and behavioral challenges.

Hello, my name is Deb Hilton, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and work at Total Life Counseling in Gilbert, AZ. I am experienced in techniques to help diminish anxiety, depression, panic attacks and other matters that hinder daily functioning. I honor my client’s vision of how they want to live their lives and support them in achieving that vision. I help my clients build relationships and end destructive ones. I can help you learn to say yes to the things you want and no to the things you don’t. I believe we are not a symptom or a label, but we are worthy individuals living our best selves with limitless possibilities.

I am a licensed associate marriage and family therapist who has a passion for helping individuals, adolescents, couples and families navigate relationships where solutions for many of life’s problems seem difficult to find. I work with clients to process their past difficulties and current life/relationship experiences, as well as helping clients recognize and build upon their own strengths and resiliency.

Dr. Williams-Jones received her Masters degree in Social Work, and her Doctorate in Educational Psychology. Her practice is based on the belief that patients' needs are of the utmost importance. Dr. Williams-Jones offers comprehensive evaluation and therapy services for children, teens, adults and families. She works with couples and families to help restore and/or create relationships after a psychological crisis. Dr. Williams-Jones treats children who struggle with social emotional, and learning difficulties. She also works with individuals who are experiencing life changes and need guidance.

I believe many of the current life issues people struggle with are the result of dysfunctional coping skills developed as a result of previous experience. These can negatively effect you and your ability to live the life you want to live. Change is not easy, but it is worth it when you see the difference it can create in your life. The ideal client for my practice is one who is motivated for change and is willing to walk through the difficult steps to get there.

Even though our culture has developed the attitude that "happiness" should be our default state, life is often hard. We all face difficult transitions, experience scary situations, and often feel at the mercy of forces beyond our control. We easily can have trouble dealing with change as well as emotions like shame, guilt, anxiety, fear, anger, and grief. Faith crises and transitions are especially difficult because religion give us our identity and sense of what it means to be human, our community, our relationship to power and authority, how we can and cannot use our bodies—the very nature of reality.

Deciding to seek help and attend therapy is one of the most important decision you can make for yourself. As humans, we all have times when life can be difficult and overwhelming. We may not have learned the skills to deal with these difficulties in the healthiest way. Therapy is about personal growth. Therapy is about understanding why we behave the way we do, as well as learning news ways to relate to others. Therapy can assist you with learning healthier coping skills, improving your self esteem and self confidence as well as improving your relationships with others.

Healing is messy, and it’s also beautiful! You may feel stuck in a cycle that’s painful and no longer serves you, or you have a desire to look further inward. No matter the reason that brought you, I am glad you are here. It is 100% okay to ask for help, no matter what people have told you. Challenges are inevitable in life and are often a cue to action. When challenges go unresolved or unaddressed, they may get in the way of how you feel about yourself. The good news is there are many things you can learn and unlearn about yourself and the world you live in. I will support you through that learning and healing process.

I work with clients who are wanting to improve their relationships with others and themselves. I use an attachment lens, utilizing techniques that create security and safety, in order to foster change and growth. I am also trauma informed and as such, employ methods that promote healing including EFT, EMDR, CBT, Narrative, Solution Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness practices. I am a licensed therapist trained in helping couples, families, adolescents, and individuals who are struggling with challenges such as life changes/transitions, mental health/medical diagnoses, trauma, disconnection, and communication issues.

Let us use the creative process to support you to move through chaos and improve the quality of your life.

I believe each individual has the ability to build on their existing strengths to live their best possible life. My goal is to create a safe and supportive therapeutic environment for clients to share their story, gain insight into how it has impacted them, and work to create a more fulfilling reality. I specialize in working with adults, teens, and children struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, disruptive behaviors, low self esteem, and eating disorders.

Wherever you are, be right there. We get to generate healing in that very space. Whether therapy seems scary, or it has been a familiar experience for you, the clarity and tools gained in this process, are well worth it! I customize a range of therapeutic techniques depending on your needs. I see you as an individual, not a diagnosis. Over 7 years experienced in multiple therapeutic approaches (Psychoanalytic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma and Family Systems Theory), which are evidence-based approaches to treatment that focus on helping clients holistically, mind, body, and spirit.

I enjoy helping couples of all types heal, strengthen and enhance their relationships. By creating a warm and inviting environment through respect, humor and authentic relational connection, couples feel safe and welcome. This allows me to provide support for partners that feel lost or disconnected in their relationship and want to rediscover the love they have for each other. Feeling disconnected from our partner can cause emotional disharmony, which can greatly impact other areas of the relationship including intimacy, finances, and communication. ---------------------THERE IS HOPE!----------------------

Taking this first big step and going to therapy can seem impossible but as someone who has been in your shoes, I encourage you to find the courage to show up for yourself. You will learn a lot about yourself in therapy but more importantly, you will unlearn so much more. My goal is to create a safe space where you can process your thoughts and feelings and understand the purpose of your behaviors. I work with my clients to identify and unlearn self-limiting core beliefs such as feelings of not being good enough, fear of failure, and perfectionism. I hope you decide to take this leap and choose you because if not you, then who?
