Therapists in Camelback East, Phoenix, AZ

You’ve achieved a lot, and parts of life are awesome. Yet, with all you’re juggling, you often don’t take space for yourself or your most important relationships. With so many people depending on you, sometimes slowing down doesn’t feel like an option. You sometimes even feel guilty for being stressed because some people have things a lot worse. You are used to being a high-achiever (even if you don't say it). You probably don't need a diagnosis and could get by without therapy. But your stress matters, and you deserve support. Relationships impact our happiness, and there's always room to improve them.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe in providing an encouraging and non-judgemental experience throughout the therapy process. I offer compassionate guidance to individuals, couples, and families looking to create change and heal in a safe, supportive environment. I strive to help my clients explore underlying emotions, patterns, strengths, and personal or relationship needs to transform the way they navigate life and take the desired steps toward change. I utilize a variety of evidence-based methods and treatments to guide clients through their therapeutic journey.

I provide comprehensive cognitive assessment and capacity evaluations to individuals with dementia (such as from a stroke or Alzheimer’s), who have experienced a traumatic brain injury (e.g., from a car accident, fall, or assault), or who are experiencing chronic medical issues that are causing cognitive decline (e.g., chronic lung or heart disease). For adults, I also provide comprehensive psychological, pre-surgery (neuromodulation, bariatric, amputation), and Fitness for Duty evaluations, as well as individual and couples psychotherapy. For children over 6, I provide ADHD and intellectual functioning assessments.

Dr. Melissa Estavillo is a Licensed Psychologist and founder of Biltmore Psychology and Counseling. At BPC we do not view people as broken and damaged, but on a journey to become the best versions of themselves. Though some nights may be dark, we believe in hope for the future and the tenacity of the human spirit. Our job is to journey with people through difficult times and provide the guidance needed to achieve something far greater than the average. We can’t promise that it will always be easy, but we believe that it is worth it and know you will too.

My passion is helping people help themselves. Seeing true change, transformations, and healing happen is a process I want to be a part of. The hope I have for my clients is for them to let go of the old and to build anew, creating the person that they want to become. We will accomplish this together by building trust and a therapeutic alliance so you can build a new version of you and meet your needs in an adaptive health way.

Adults and couples see me upon experiencing a variety of issues pertaining to life transitions with career or family, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, self esteem, sexual assault/domestic violence, spirituality, substance abuse, or insomnia. Clients arrive to therapy seeking a space to process difficult emotions with a trusted, empathic therapist who works to not only listen but also understand their experiences. The desire to be truly seen, heard, and accepted is a powerful but rare human phenomenon. My priority is for clients to feel secure in expressing both their sufferings and their longings.

Together, we will identify the root causes of what you’re experiencing, and then, empower you to find the wellness and healing you deserve. I aim to personalize my approach with each of my clients in order to help you cultivate the life you want to live.

Dr. Day-Hardwig has years of experience and training working with individuals who struggle with eating disorders/body image issues and individuals struggling with sexual addiction. She has had the opportunity to work in all levels of treatment (inpatient, IOP, and traditional outpatient), and strives to provide comprehensive treatment for her clients.

I have experience in helping individuals and couples heal from trauma (including betrayal), addiction/compulsivity, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. The focus of our sessions depends on the reasons you are seeking help. With people I see individually we often discuss things such as how to improve relationships, work through stressors and trauma, and managing mood including anxiety and depression. It is also common that I discuss with you how your past experiences influence your life and your relationships today.

I work collaboratively with clients to have an understanding of the events & issues in their lives. My approach to counseling includes a client-centered approach establishing a strong working-relationship. There are no "one-size-fits-all approaches" to address all problems with all individuals. As a result, I use a variety of approaches working with clients to meet their goals. I seek to understand the impact of a client's life-experiences, family history, personality, values, etc. on their development and relationships with others. I can work with individuals who have ambivalence about making changes & gain insight into problematic behaviors.

My approach with clients is to remain person-centered and provide a safe place to address mental health needs. I use a trauma-informed approach for many of my clients because I am keenly aware that past events often influence the choices we make today. If you are experiencing traumatic stress, grief, or addiction, the methods I use can help alleviate the stress and anxiety that occur with these issues. My work also includes treating traumatic stress with first responders and military veterans using bi-lateral stimulation techniques found in EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. I'm a licensed LPC and LISAC with the AZBBHE.

Making life changes can feel overwhelming; my goal, as a clinician, is to help foster personal growth and provide you with skills needed to manage & overcome difficult life stressors. I believe every person has the potential to improve his or her mental health; looking for a therapist who is right for you is the start to understanding what you or someone you love needs to thrive. As a therapist, I am concerned with the total health & well-being of the individual or the family unit. I have a passion for working with older children, adolescents, adults & couples to help them increase skill sets for healthier relationships.

Experience counts. I have over 30 years experience in a variety of theories. For 20 years I have taught psychotherapy to Medical Doctors in a Psychiatric Training Program. A therapist must ask the correct questions and accurately asssess the client's difficulties. Then the work can begin. Experience counts.

As a therapist who works with individuals, couples and families, I strive to create a safe, open space for my clients to share their story. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship - based on trust, respect, and authenticity - is vital to the healing process. In addition, I believe that everyone's story is uniquely important and that the journey towards healing begins with one's story being heard and understood. I consider it an honor and a privilege to walk with my clients as they take steps toward freedom from current and past wounds.

Have you ever looked around the room and thought, “I do not belong here”, “I am not good enough”, or “I do not know how to get through this”? Perhaps these thoughts come up in your work, relationships, parenting, or everyday life situations. Maybe growing up in an immigrant family or being an immigrant yourself, you were pushed to be better, do better, or do more while feeling the weight of your family, culture and society. Sometimes those expectations could even feel conflicting. Despite life lessons and resiliency that shaped your life, you may feel like something is still missing or some of those thoughts continue bothering you.
