Therapists in Gilbert, AZ

Is your sex life satisfying? Do you enjoy a safe, loving and affirmative connection with your partner, or are you feeling stuck in a relationship that seems to have lost its physical and emotional spark? Perhaps you are wondering how it is that the two of you are living life like roommates instead of romantic lovers. My name is Susan Schneider, and as your sex and relationship therapist, I will come alongside you and share in your unique story, providing a safe place where you will be welcomed with courage, compassion and respect.

Have you experienced a form of relationship betrayal from a spouse, parents, or someone you should have been able to trust (infidelity, physical/sexual abuse, financial abuse, porn/sex addiction, emotional neglect/abandonment, etc.)? Are you experiencing various forms of trauma symptoms due to a relationship betrayal or past trauma(s)? If you are, please know that you are not alone. Tiffany has a passion for helping individuals heal from these traumatic experiences, past and present, by providing a positive, safe, non-judgmental environment where client and therapist can work collaboratively together to address these intense wounds.

As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist I have helped couples and families work through various relational & emotional intimacy challenges. I am also a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. I work significantly with males struggling with sexually compulsive behaviors along with the spouses, partners, families and others impacted by their unhealthy and/or problematic choices. I have been described as a 'Perspectivist Therapist' due to my clear, honest, open, respectful and direct ability to help people gain perspective about their problems, increase hopeful belief for their future and establish realistic expectations.

I have a PhD and almost 30 yrs experience working with clients. I have advanced training in EFT and Gottman Therapy. I also draw on 35 yrs of experience being married. All couples have conflicts. The difference is happy couples have a way to resolve and repair issues. I specialize in helping couples develop that repair process. When many couples argue they end up feeling more frustrated, distant, and dissatisfied in their relationship instead of feeling close and connected. Eventually they stop talking to avoid fighting and grow apart. I help couples who are stuck find a way to experience the love and closeness they desire.

Step into my therapy space, kick back, and let's keep it real. No need for filters or holding back here – I'm all about authenticity, F-Bombs included. My approach? Direct, yet filled with empathy, creating a safe haven for you to open up and be truly honest. No two people are alike, so forget about those one-size-fits-all approaches. Let's dive deep into what makes yours unique and work through any roadblocks together.

Wellness comes from balance in all the areas of our lives: emotional, physical, social, and spiritual. Often things come up that tip the scales beyond what we can handle on our own. In counseling we work together to help you find that balance again, develop skills where needed, and move you into a healthier place. With a strong background in biology the approach to counseling is very solution focused and takes into account the natural tendencies and responses that may work against wellbeing. I work with couples and individuals looking at issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, and ADHD.

I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist, specially trained in working with couples & individual women ages 18-50. Some areas I specialize in are: couples work (masculine and feminine polarity, conflict skills, deepening understanding), sex therapy, parenting, phase of life anxiety, dating, becoming truly authentic & aligned, building self-compassion, Brainspotting, and healing black & white, shame-based distortions caused by religious trauma (without encouraging abandoning beliefs). My biggest philosophy is BALANCE- and learning to find “the sweet spot” in tricky, polarizing concepts. I see balance as the “key” to remedying SO much.

I have been a therapist since 1978. I taught undergraduate and graduate Psychology courses at Ottawa University (11 years) and Rio Salado College (17 years).I specialize in OCD and obsessive sexual behaviors but have treated nearly every type of client and diagnosis over the past four decades. I'm told I'm personable and that people feel comfortable with me immediately. I'm a good nonjudgmental listener and I believe that counseling should be a deep but intriguing investigation - not a painful one.

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.

I take clients from all different backgrounds and presenting problems. Most of my clients have complex problems that start as internal struggles from depression, poor mood regulation, anxiety, racing thoughts, over-active anger, poor self-esteem, and judgment of self and others. These issues turn into interpersonal and relational problems that create felt chaos and cyclically feed those internal struggles. Clients often come in focusing on the outside chaos and miss the internal factors.

Whether you are searching for help for yourself or a loved one, I know that this is a difficult time for you. My hope is to be of service to you and your family. My name is Dr. Ilana Halina Oren and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist as well as Certified Hypnotherapist. I have been working with individuals, couples and families for over 30 years. I offer individual and couple therapy to teenagers and adults.My goal is to help my clients increase resilience, overcome their challenges and foster the belief that they deserve to be their best.

Lying awake with your back toward your spouse, hurting again. Your mind racing, blaming your partner for all the problems in the relationship. The thought comes to mind, “The argument was days ago, why can’t we talk?” You’ve tried things before, but only for a short time. The self doubt creeps in, shame, loneliness, sadness, guilt. What happened to the joyful days of the beginning? Life. Life got in the way and took you both by storm. Now, you feel as though you no longer know your spouse, and he/she doesn’t really know you. Before you finally drift off to sleep one last thought crosses your mind, “I want to make this work.”

I received my Master's Degree in Direct Practice Social Work from Arizona State University with an emphasis on children and families. I am currently one of many counselors working at Arizona Family Institute. I have had many valuable experiences in working with individuals addressing crisis, abuse, depression, anxiety, tension, neglect, adjustment, addiction, and especially trauma.

The journey toward one's best self can be challenging! I partner with my clients to address specific needs of the individual in a safe environment. It has been my experience that behavior that is not helpful or skills that are not useful are the result of adaptation. Simply put, we do what we can with what we know! People come to counseling because the tools they are currently using are no longer working. I recognize that the client is the true expert in his or her own life and empower the individual with a strength-based approach to therapy.

Currently Accepting new clients- I have a passion for helping people work through life’s challenges. It is my belief that our physical and mental health are improved when we have close, healthy, and supportive relationships in our lives. I love to laugh and feel humor is a great tool to deal with life's challenges. I genuinely enjoy connecting with people and feel honored to walk along them in their process of transforming their challenges into resilience.

I help 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!----------------------

This crazy and challenging time we find ourselves in may seem overwhelming and too much at times. Life is not often fair and comes complete with complex issues. I desire to hear your story and come alongside you to develop the skills necessary to overcome adversity in your life. I employ psychological assessments and depending on the situation different clinical interventions in assisting my clients. I have found success with clients through the use of cognitive behavioral therapy along with dialectical behavior therapy, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, internal family systems, and person-centered approaches.
