Therapists in Scottsdale, AZ

Making the decision to seek therapy is a personal process that often occurs when one is hurting emotionally and/or grieving life as they once knew it. Seeking counseling takes courage and a willingness to explore difficult life challenges. I truly believe that each person has the ability to find peace and inner healing.

Let me help you find your balance. We'll focus on the goals and timelines you set by building upon your individual strengths, beliefs and life experience. I'm interactive and will intertwine technology, insights, and practical feedback with compassion and humor (especially if you have a mentally ill family member, difficult or special-needs child /spouse or an aging parent). I'm available to conduct video and in-person sessions after 5:00 pm. You can book your first appointment in less than 5 minutes via my 24/7 online scheduler. Please visit my website, www.DianeGoula.com to learn more.

I believe that people have the innate capacity for change. In life we are often dealt circumstances that are beyond our understanding and personal control. Many of these experiences distort our perception of who we truly are. My role is to collaborate with you to explore your past and reconnect you to your authentic self. People are natural storytellers. In our work together we will identify which parts of your story add value to your life and which can be altered to improve the way you understand yourself and the circumstances in your life.

I am so glad you are taking this first step. I know how hard it can be to get started. I am here to help you feel comfortable throughout this process. I help individuals and couples who are feeling stuck, hopeless, lonely or disconnected from others. I specialize in relational trauma, relationship distress, and family of origin challenges. Anything less than nurturing that has happened to you, can be stored in the body as trauma. I am deeply passionate about helping individuals, and couples, make sense of past experiences so they can live more freely and authentically in the present.

Accepting New Clients. Welcome! I have over six years of experience working with teenagers and adults. I specialize in working with clients who have gender identity issues, including transgender, those on the Autism spectrum, ADHD, sex and pornography addiction, Men's issues, family relationship problems, personality disorders, self-harming and suicidal ideation. My therapeutic approaches I use include supportive counseling, person-centered, strengths-based, CBT, DBT and trauma informed. I am a gender affirming therapist.

You have the freedom to create the life that you choose. Rather than conforming and living out someone else’s vision, let’s work together to embrace and build upon the things that make you unique. I support a community that encourages people to use their abilities and talents by working with neurodivergent people and families to construct values, set goals, and clear the path toward a meaningful life. Let's maximize your strengths and learn how to manage the things that cause distress and harm your relationship with yourself and the world.

Not many people have all the skills they need to get through life. I strive to help clients help themselves through tough times brought on by everyday life or extra hard and unexpected times. I specialize in anxiety and stress management, career counseling, relationship issues, self-esteem, and trauma.

Are you considering therapy but have concerns about finding the "right" therapist or type of treatment? These are important considerations and the decision to seek therapy is a big step. The patient-therapist relationship is a critical component of therapy and it is important to choose as therapist that is a "good fit" for you. Every individual is unique with his/her own personal story and goals. Therefore, therapy must be tailored to the individual. I have training and experience in multiple therapeutic approaches (CBT, REBT, DBT, psychodynamic)

Life is filled with ups and downs, highs and lows. And when we are struggling sometimes it's easy to pick ourselves up while other times, we need help. My role, as a licensed clinical social worker, is to assist help adolescents and adults, in my care, to process and cope with overwhelming feelings of stress, depression, and anxiety that they face. I believe that you are the expert of your life, and it is through the collaborative experience that, together, we can navigate the barriers and challenges to your success.

The greatest power we have is our ability to choose one thought over another. It’s not the situation that affects us, it’s our interpretation. Sometimes it’s hard to take control and begin the process of change, but together we can work to bring mental clarity and mindfulness to begin experiencing life in a whole new light. There is resilience in us all and in our darkest moments we lose sight of our capabilities. No matter where you are in your journey, know there is always another way.

Struggling with anxiety, overcome by stress, can't "think" your way out of that box? I can help you get unstuck, and work with your own unique strengths to overcome problem areas, and find greater joy and peace of mind. I offer a safe, welcoming environment in which to understand yourself and others, and to use the past as a powerful guide for gaining insight and clarity about how to get more of what you really want. I help individuals and couples create healthy communication and connection in their relationships with family, partners and others, with greater confidence and self-awareness.

Are you looking to make a change to improve your life? Let’s start that process together and kudos to you for taking the first step in your path. Being in the counseling field for four years, I have gained a vast amount of knowledge of how to best serve my client’s presenting needs. I have a passion for guiding people to find their voice and turning any challenge into a strength. Building a comfortable environment and good rapport is incredibly important to me as it helps us speak more openly and tackled concerns together.

I am passionate about helping clients of all ages achieve growth and wellbeing, and specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I have experience in treating a range of concerns, including depression, trauma, and self-harm, as well as anxiety and related disorders.

Experiencing trauma can often create a response similar to a pebble thrown into a still pond. The incident may seem small at first, but the ripples swell out and disrupt your sense of control and balance. If you have experienced Anxiety/Depression, Sexual Assault, PTSD or other negative experiences, you most likely are familiar with the rippling effects of distressed feelings, amplifying intrusive thoughts as well as emotions of anger, pain, sadness, despair and more. Distressing and unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, and even physical ailments can interrupt your relationships, education, career, finances or more.

You may be feeling depressed, lonely, forgotten, lost, or stuck. Many of my clients feel hopeless, helpless, and don’t recognize who they see in the mirror. Their relationships are now suffering and they want help to turn it all around and dig themselves out of the hole but it feels impossible.

I work with adults from diverse backgrounds experiencing fear, sadness, loneliness, as well as those experiencing relationship and job related challenges. I aim to take a non-judgemental and compassionate approach to what you are experiencing. I feel honored and privileged when clients open up about what is bothering them. I like to collaborate with clients and tailor our sessions to your unique needs, life circumstances, and your strengths in order to help you have more contentment and vitality in your life. Most important, I want to value you as a human being.

Reaching out for support can be a challenging process. I encourage you to take a step for your well being and personal growth. My first priority is to provide a comfortable space where you feel relaxed when expressing your concerns. By listening attentively and without judgment, my goal is to understand your perspective. With this understanding, I am able to assist in ways that compliment your unique mindset and tendencies. Not only will I validate your concerns, but I will also considerately and respectfully provide perspectives on unhelpful thought patterns that I may notice. I practice with a trauma informed lens and offer EMDR.
