Humanistic Therapists in Arizona

Hello, I am Virginia!  I'm a licensed Social Worker with over 20 years of providing Cognitive Behavioral, Play, Narrative, and Family Systems counseling to clients who have experienced various types of trauma and life stressors.  I earned my Bachelors and Masters in Social Work from Arizona State University. I've worked in many different clinical settings in Arizona, New Jersey, and New York City ever since.

I strongly believe, and research supports, that there must be a good "fit" in a therapist-client relationship. I aim to create a safe environment with empathy, unconditional positive regard, and nonjudgment. I believe we all inherently have the capacity for growth, and my job is to provide the healthy environment needed to gain insight, challenge maladaptive behaviors, and support your positive change.

“Every genuinely loving relationship is one of mutual psychotherapy.” So wrote M. Scott Peck in "The Road Less Traveled." I knew Scotty, and he included our 10-yr. correspondence in his final papers. I now teach couples how to become their OWN mutual therapists. Most of us have scars from our childhood or past relationships that deter us from opening our hearts even to those we claim to love. Many couples thus enter into a tacit agreement not to rock the relational boat. But I see relational tension as a thrust for both personal authenticity AND intimacy. A blessing, not a curse, it is the very coin of the mutual-therapeutic realm.

As a therapist and witness to your growth, I believe that you have an intuitive and innate capacity for balance. However, ongoing stressors of living in intersecting systems of oppression erode our connection with ourselves and others. Through curious, compassionate awareness in supportive relationships and community, we find our way back to our inner wisdom and wellness. I am here to support and witness your process of uncovering your most authentic self so that you can take actions in your life that align with your values and dreams.

I am licensed mental health and rehabilitation counselor. I love working with adult individuals and couples. My main work focus is on childhood trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship with self and others. The goal of my therapy is to help you to make the positive changes you need in your life. I’m a client-centered and CBT therapist: I believe that every individual can achieve their mental health, wellness, relationship, and career goals. I provide a nourishing environment where together we will discover your true-self. I see the role of a counselor as a guide who walks beside you as you find your life's path.

Hi! My name is Zach and I am a Licensed Associate Counselor in Mesa, Arizona. Beginning counseling can often be scary and overwhelming. I do everything I can to create a warm, safe, and friendly space for anyone seeking counseling services. I am passionate about using research-based strategies that work to help you reach your goals. Please feel free to reach out and contact me about starting counseling!

I specialize in gender and neurodivergent affirming therapy for Autistic and ADHD, LGBTQ+ adults. My focus is on supporting those in Gen Z and Millennial generations who are starting to realize that their perfectionism is holding them back and want to better align with their most authentic selves. I invite you to step into a space where you can express yourself and explore your inner world where the multitudes you contain are not just accepted but cherished. If you possess a natural curiosity about yourself and the world, we will likely work wonderfully together.

To grow and heal, you have to be face the parts of yourself that you don’t show the world, however—you do not need to do that alone. I provide a non-judgmental space for self-honesty and discovering parts of yourself that got left behind. Reclaiming your wellbeing is about being seen and understood, honestly connecting with yourself and your instincts, recognizing and meeting your unmet needs, and coming back into alignment with who you really are.

Do you find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, stressful life changes or experiencing uncertainty in your life? Or maybe you just feel stuck. You are not alone! I believe it is important to create a trusting, caring relationship in which my clients feel respected, safe, supported and comfortable expressing themselves and working together toward their goals. My job is to support clients by helping with the tools to build skills for resiliency and healthier living. I believe in a strengths-based approach, and I welcome to chance to serve you.

Are you and your partner arguing more than usual? Do you feel like every interaction with your teen has become a power struggle? Have you experienced unrewarding or even unhealthy relationships? Daily life can be complicated and challenging, so you look to your relationships to provide understanding, support and security. However, when your relationships are strained, you may not have anything that gives you solace or that soft place to land at the end of the day. You are doing the best that you know how, but sometimes that is just not enough.

If you, your relationships, or your child feel stuck or overwhelmed, you don't have to struggle alone. You also don't have to relive the past or feel blamed or shamed to overcome the past. This is a safe and welcoming place for clients of all ages, couples, and families to heal and feel better. Therapy with me includes fun, creative, bonding, and restorative moments; where everyone can feel welcome, seen, safe, and accepted. My goal is to help create deeply connected and supportive experiences where my clients can heal, grow, and create the life and the relationships that they've always wanted.

I work with clients throughout the course of the life span. I have skills for working with both youth and adults. I have been working in the helping professions since 2003. And a licensed provider from 2011. I personalized the treatment to each client and each need. I offer both long term and short term treatment options: EMDR, ACT, DBT, TF-CBT, CBT, Hypnotherapy, Play Therapy, SandTray Therapy, and Solution Focused Interviewing.

***Not currently accepting new patients at this time*** Whether it's a recent loss, a traumatic event, or even our own negative thinking, life circumstances can get in the way of living the life we want. When this becomes overwhelming, sometimes it's hard even to make the simplest decisions. Therapy can help you work through difficult emotions and unhealthy habits that lead to that "stuck" feeling. My job is to help you navigate through the things that get in the way of you living a valued life, a life where you wake up each day feeling confident and motivated to achieve your goals.

Do you feel stuck or are you struggling to feel settled in different aspects of your life? Maybe there are feelings you can’t seem to move past or unprocessed trauma, memories, or experiences getting in your way? Do you feel disconnected from your body, yourself, or those around you? I’m passionate about working with individuals struggling after traumatic or damaging religious, educational, and/or cultural messaging and experiences and I can help!

In the wake of the unprecedented challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, you might still be grappling with its profound effects on our mental health and overall well-being. Are you struggling with depression and anxiety, sleeping, going to work, socializing, or adjusting to various changes? As a Doctor of Social Work (DSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I am dedicated to supporting individuals like you in overcoming these challenges and achieving personal growth.

I really enjoy working with marriage/family/parent-child relationships in a safe, non-judgmental way that opens up communication and eases tension/conflict. In therapy, I'm active, direct, integrative/creative, encouraging, and compassionate. I engage with you as a partner in identifying what works for you, acting on it, and following through. I enjoy coordinating treatment with other providers/helpers/support people. I'm skilled in working with gifted/talented individuals, soul-searching, and addiction/recovery. I have a passion for what I do, and I live it as a vocation/calling not just a job.

Wouldn't it be nice if you had someone safe to unburden your heart with? Someone who is not only well-trained, but cares deeply and respects you and your journey? Someone who can help you sift through old stories and patterns, helping you re-write them and uncover the best version of yourself that you always knew was there?? I am a 𝘾𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝘾𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙪𝙢𝙖 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 and specialize in working with adults & couples with mood challenges, grief, relationship challenges, divorce & dating, codependency, eating disorders, recent & complex trauma, sexual assault, and more.

I have experience working with many areas, including anxiety, depression, any of life's necessary adjustments, marriage and family concerns, and more. I appreciate when a client is willing to consider new ideas, to practice what we've worked on together, and to implement those new ideas into practice in day to day life. My ideal client is a collaborative individual, excited for new perspective and willing to meet those challenges head on. Tell me what you think! We are partners through this process together.
