Therapists in Southeast, Mesa, AZ

I will listen to you without judgment and help you find your own solutions. You don't want someone who is going to jump in with advice before hearing all that you have to say and understanding, as much as possible, how you feel. You need someone who is willing to explore alternatives and solutions with you in a calm respectful manner leaving you with the final decision. It's your life. You have to live it. Why let someone else make the decisions for you when all you really need is someone willing to listen, hear, and understand?

Making the decision to seek help shows both strength and vulnerability which is the first step to making positive changes in your life. I have worn many hats as an educator, school counselor, and for the last three years a licensed therapist. I use this experience to collaborate with individuals to develop goals based on their own desires and expectations. Understanding there are life issues that can inhibit these goals, I collaboratively explore the needs of an individual through a hands-on, not one size all fits, safe, non-judgmental approach in counseling using strength-based strategies to meet individuals where they are.

I strongly believe that everyone has the ability to mend and heal the broken parts of their soul and find peace, happiness and contentment. I have experienced the power and effectiveness of embarking on the journey of healing through counseling and felt the positive influences in my own life. I assist others in overcoming depression, anxiety, addiction, broken relationships, past traumatic experiences, loss and low self-esteem. I have the privilege of walking the path of healing with my clients allowing them to become strong, resilient, happy and healthy individuals who enjoy life and all that it has to offer.

Hello! I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Mesa, AZ. I work primarily with teens and young adults, many of whom are in the LGBTQ+ community, seeking treatment for OCD, facing life transitions, and/or navigating relationship challenges .

Welcome! I am a compassionate therapist with over five years of counseling experience specializing in working with teenagers and adults with trauma.

I know firsthand the transformative power of therapy. As a young adult, I struggled with anxiety and depression, but with the help of a skilled therapist, I was able to overcome my challenges and find greater meaning and purpose in life. Now, as a licensed counselor and certified clinical trauma specialist, I'm committed to helping others achieve the same kind of breakthroughs. Using empathy, active listening, and evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and EMDR, I help my clients overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues.

When I went to therapy for the first time, I found a space where someone listened to me without judgment, encouraged me to trust myself, and empowered me to advocate for what I wanted out of my life. Now, my goal as a therapist is to reconnect you to yourself—all parts of you—and to help you find a fondness for who you have been, an acceptance and love for who you are now, and an excitement for who you can become. I use unconditional positive regard, humor, and gentle challenging to ensure that you feel supported through whatever journey that you’re on.

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.

Compassionately supporting individuals and families experiencing grief/loss is my passion.

Hello! It takes bravery and strength to recognize you need support and to take those steps to begin therapy. It would be my privilege to come alongside you, offering encouragement and support. I have been practicing counseling for over 15 years. My passion is working with teenagers and adults. I specialize in helping with depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, anger, self-esteem, peer and family relationships, social skills, stress, boundaries, parenting, gender identity and sexual orientation, work and school challenges and life changes.

In my professional experience, I work to help adults overcome difficulties with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, stress management, and difficult life transitions. With an extensive background in treating and supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, I have unique insight on risk factors and co-morbid mental disorders afflicting those that have had traumatic experiences both in childhood and in their adult years.

Life can be hard. People you love have hurt you. Your past has created challenges in your present. A betrayal occurs, shaking you to your core. You are in disbelief this is your life all the while feeling grief, uncertainty, hurt, chaos, out of control, racing but paralyzed. I have been there. I understand these emotions and the power they have over your life. I know you want your life back but are faced with something different and unfamiliar, adding fear to the mix of your emotions. You need a safe space to work through the complexity of your unique experience. I can help.

My years of clinical practice have helped me to understand the value of an individual. Most people have the resources they need to manage the challenges they have, but they sometimes struggle to see the resources that are available to them. I use a solution focused, non judgmental, approach to help individuals resolve major life issues like addiction, depression, anxiety, and family and relational conflict. Individuals and couples can find affective attunement with themselves, their spouse, and their children, as they learn to strengthen who they are as individuals and become clearer about their own emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapist can be exhausting. This one is too hard. That one is too soft. It sounds like something out of Goldilocks and the Three Bears doesn’t it? You’re likely browsing this profile because your past has been painful. Maybe you’re feeling stuck – unable to move forward. Maybe it feels like your emotions are more in control of you than you are of them. Or maybe you fluctuate between feeling disconnected and shut down to feeling completely on edge. If any of this sounds familiar, then you and I might be the right fit.

I appreciate the therapeutic journey for every client. It takes a lot of courage, vulnerability, and bravery to take the step to seek out support and seek change in one’s life. I’m here to be a collaborative partner in that journey of helping motivated clients find hope, peace, and clarity to life’s struggles. I find it important to create realistic and healthy goals in the therapy process as well as celebrate the small victories along the way. I’m a huge advocate of a client-centered approach in therapy because therapy is finding your voice and gaining confidence in allowing others to hear it in healthy and constructive ways.
