I’ve always had empathy, compassion, and genuine concern for others. My passion is helping individuals learn more about themselves, assisting and guiding them through life’s difficult situations, and discovering their true potential. Therapy is a supportive, compassionate, and collaborative process that unfolds naturally and organically. The mind, body, and spirit are holistically addressed and integrated to alleviate suffering and understand emotions, as well as somatic symptoms.

*Not accepting new clients* I have a passion for supporting clients in overcoming trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. I use a strength-based, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed approach to counseling. The goal is to develop an environment where you feel comfortable to share and be transparent in order to focus on your personal growth. I work to determine the cause of the issue and develop a plan to address the root cause and strategies to cope in a healthier way.

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.

Hi! My name is Shelby Rouse, LAC, Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist. I am currently accepting new clients. I have experience with children and play therapy. I am also EMDR trained and trauma informed. I have worked in the behavioral health field for the past 4 years and specialized in Applied Behavior Analytics with children, adolescents, and young adults on the Autism Spectrum. A solid therapeutic alliance is one of the most important factors in counseling and with the art of listening and collaboratively designing your treatment plan, I look forward to to building one with you.

I have been in the counseling field for 25 years. I have extensive experience assisting clients who are experiencing emotional pain, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles and other personal challenges. My goal is to provide a safe, respectful environment where clients can examine their challenges and rediscover their strengths. I recognize that the first step to seek a therapist takes courage. My therapeutic style is direct but supportive. I recognize that every client's experience is unique. My therapeutic approach is tailored to address their specific concerns, navigate “next steps” and move toward long term solutions.

My specialization is in relational concerns and intensive client care; I have years of experience working with individuals, couples, family dynamics and intensive cases addressing a wide variety of issues. I know that making the decision to come to therapy is a difficult one and I work to provide a safe and neutral environment within the therapy office for clients to share vulnerabilities, and take the desired steps toward change. I begin each client relationship with a comprehensive assessment to thoroughly understand the challenges, and will work collaboratively in setting goals to provide measurable structure to the process.

I am passionate about helping couples on their journey to develop more connected and intimate relationships. I have experience working with relationships that struggle with communication, lack of intimacy, sexual difficulties, and relationships working through infidelity and past resentments. Along with couples, I am passionate about working with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief and loss, and those navigating life transitions.

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 work with children and families in the areas of grief & loss, behavioral concerns and parenting. I utilize attachment-based therapeutic approaches in working with couples to address communication issues, sexual relationship concerns, relationship injuries and infidelity.

*CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Life can be challenging. The challenges can bring on feelings of loneliness and sadness, that may feel difficult to work through. I became a therapist to help people navigate through those challenges and heal.

Do you ever find yourself worried about something you did in the past, and want to somehow go back to fix it? Or find yourself thinking about the future, trying to determine how it will work out? Getting lost in a sea of what if’s, maybe’s, should’s can cause even the strongest mind to become distressed, uncertain, and feel alone. That’s where I come in, the mind can hold uncomfortable/debilitating concerns, but it does not have to feel like this, it does not have to be like this, and together we can work to make life less difficult.

With day-to-date life becoming increasingly stressful, are you feeling overwhelmed? Perhaps you've found it difficult to manage your worries or you've lost motivation. If you're dealing with painful memories and experiences, the journey towards healing may seem even harder than it did before.

Every person faces the wilderness of the world, whether that be depression, trauma, painful life experiences, or any other challenges. We are all searching for a way to walk in harmony with that wilderness and to grow through our experiences. I believe that each person walks their own path and that therapy is about individuals learning to recognize and accept their intrinsic worth and fostering resilience. Lasting change is possible and we all start somewhere. Why not start here?

Do you feel stuck in your current cycle in life? Are you grieving a transition or change in your life? Have you begun experiencing feelings that you are unsure of how to process and manage? These concerns can seem daunting, but I am here to help! My main priority as a therapist is to help my clients feel comfortable in the therapy room. I take pride in viewing client concerns with a neutral and unbiased perspective and working collaboratively with my clients.

In today’s hard driving culture, many people are working hard and enjoying prosperity. While this is good, a wide body of research shows a high number of Americans report feeling very lonely and isolated. What are we missing? Connection. We humans are wired for close and intimate connection. When we don’t have it in our most significant relationships, especially in marriage, it is hard to find joy in anything else. What gets in the way of achieving this connection? Negative cycles and unprocessed trauma. Negative cycles take over our important relationships and unprocessed trauma can make close connection feel threatening.

Hello! My name is Cally Skalko and I am licensed as an LAC by the AZ Board of Behavioral Health Examiners to practice psychotherapy. I have grown in my journey while exploring and experiencing many cultures in 19 countries worldwide. My life has been filled with honor and blessing having: mentored youth and their families on the Akimel O’odham Reservation, taught students ages K-8 as a public educator, directed and trained teachers in birth through school age childcare facilities, and opened my home and heart to six amazing young people as their foster mom (“auntie/Tia")

There are many benefits from participating in therapy. Therapists can provide support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, trauma, grief, stress management, and creative blocks. Many people also find that counselors can be a tremendous asset to managing personal growth, interpersonal relationships, and the hassles of daily life. Therapists can provide a fresh perspective on a difficult problem or point you in the direction of a solution.
