Therapists in Flagstaff, AZ

Life is fast paced and ever changing. At times, it can be difficult to find a balance. My treatment approach is to help individuals and families explore options to meet their goals to challenges. My primary treatment approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral theory, but I also utilize a blend of conventional and alternative therapeutic services (e.g., Mindfulness, Play Therapy, Nature and Ecotherapy) to fit the needs of each client and build on their strengths to achieve their goals.

Anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, trauma—it's all hard, and each challenge is different, so an ideal client is someone who is ready to work on their goals. I enjoy helping clients work through whatever concern or crisis they have. Being able to watch as someone makes the connections or meets a goal is always rewarding and the best part of the job.

I work from a Trauma-informed approach. Often, anxiety, panic, etc., are rooted in trauma held in our bodies, which activate our flight, fight, freeze, and fawn responses. I am trained in EMDR trauma therapy (EMDRIA website) and work deeply with Attachment Theory. As a passionate advocate for diverse groups, I understand the necessity of cultural humility and social justice advocacy. I am well-versed in the dynamics and systemic issues, and current events that contribute to behavioral health issues and mental health disparities. I have a deep compassion for the underserved and communities of color, and LGBTQI+ communities.

I enjoy working with people with behavioral issues of any kind. It is incredible to see someone at the beginning of therapy, not knowing what to do or who to turn to, and, over time, recognize they have had some of the answers themselves. Through treatment, we have uncovered more skills and self-esteem to deal with the presenting issue. I like to build awareness of the behavioral problem, determine any patterns, and then discuss ways to intervene differently for a different outcome.
An ideal client would be willing to look at complex behaviors and determine that those behaviors are no longer serving them well and want to change.

Relationships are at the core of what I believe matters in therapy and life. This serves as the foundation for my therapeutic style, and along with trauma, is the guiding tenet in what I have gone on to specialize in. I was initially trained as a generalist, which I believe has prepared me to work with a wide variety of presenting concerns. I find that every person who I work with comes with their own rich context full of complex experiences, identities, and a unique relationship with their mental health. It is my job to meet you right where you are with curiosity, respect, and humility. Go to Bridger-Counseling.com for more info!

I work with a very diverse population. My clients are interested in managing mental and behavioral health issues, striving for personal growth, and desiring to release everything from the past that no longer serves their highest interests. While many of my clients are diving deeply into long term issues, I also work with those who may simply need a thinking partner, a coach, or someone who can support them in their quest for wholehearted living.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
