Therapists in Camelback East, Phoenix, AZ

Different times and experiences in life inspire a desire (or need) for change in our selves, and in our relationships. When you're facing challenges and at the cusp of growth, I can offer you understanding, insight, and support for your unique experience, background, and next steps. With a warm and personal approach, I strive to maintain a safe, comfortable, and nonjudgmental therapy setting where we can work together to address challenges, changes, and goals, while also making space to explore the power and influences of the past.

Wouldn’t it be helpful if communication in your relationships created closeness rather than distance? You care deeply about the people in your life but are feeling uncertain how to strengthen those relationships. We are often trying to figure out how to improve our lives as we go, and certainly get frustrated when attempts fall short. This frustration can lead to feeling disconnected and unsure what to do differently.

I believe in consciously decluttering negative thoughts and feelings while actively making room for new ideas about what is possible for the future. I enjoy helping my clients move towards change while examining past traumas through understanding and compassion. I have experience working with teens and adults with complex sexual, emotional, and physical trauma using evidence-based modalities. I am EMDR I and II, SFBT and TF-CBT trained.

The true story of every person in this world is not the story you see, the external story. The true story of each person is the journey of his or her heart. -John Eldredge

I am accepting new clients! My experience in the field has led me to understand that everyone is unique and comes to healing in their own ways. My role is to provide a safe and nurturing environment and assist individuals in understanding and achieving their goals during the therapeutic process.

Hi there, I work with everyone from young adults to empty nesters to show up in their relationships more authentically-I especially help with the challenge of raising kids and individuating from parents. I support people with differences to use moments of potential tension to get curious instead of furious or fearful, building a life they want to come home to - with skills that transfer to all their relationships especially the one they have with themself. If you're ready to grow with the support of someone who gets where things get tricky, is reliable but also relatable, then give me a call.

I am sorry for the pain or challenge that has brought you to seek therapy. I care deeply about helping people fully inhabit their pain, learn how to explore/ "be" with it, and use it to live fuller, bigger lives. I provide my clients a supportive, nonjudgmental environment to uncover the truth about their current experience, identify their wants/needs, and ultimately live with committed action in the service of their values. Having 20+ years of experience with specialized therapies of DBT, EMDR, and ACT, I can provide you with a multitude of interventions/techniques that support either greater acceptance or change in your life.

In over ten years of practice, I've noticed many people seek therapy for a few main reasons: A breakdown of trust and communication in intimate relationships; One's past experiences are negatively affecting present reality; Loneliness and disconnection; and a need for a sense of purpose. Of course, there are others, but the reasons I mention show up often. I attribute much of the distress I see in others to self-worth issues. Generally, worthiness is neither modeled nor nurtured in our culture.

When something isn't working, when you’re feeling stuck, or when you’re amidst a transition in life, you may find yourself outside of your comfort zone. This can feel uncomfortable, unsettling, or even scary at times. This can also be a beneficial time to get to know yourself and your relationships more. If you're struggling with the above or noticing challenges with anxiety, depression, a life transition, relationship distress, parenting stress, or ambiguous loss, I have experience working with these issues.

I am a compassionate and empathetic person, and my goal as your therapist is to provide a safe and non-judgmental setting while you embark on your gender journey. My therapeutic approaches include motivational interviewing, EMDR, solution-focused interventions, and person-centered engagement. Shortly after receiving my bachelor’s degree, I moved to Arizona and began my journey to discover my authentic self. In 2009, I made the courageous steps to live authentically as a transgender man and medically transition. Therefore, I bring a wealth of knowledge regarding resources to therapy.

Humans are by nature social animals and yet many of us have lost connection within ourselves and our community. I believe this is due, in part, to a frantic world that has led to relational trauma, a poor sense of self, health challenges, addiction, loss and isolation. Feeling relevant, finding meaning, having a mission, knowing joy and learning emotional regulation/tolerance/resiliency are ways in which we can heal ourselves and the world at large. I work with individuals (adults only) and couples.

Raquel believes that at the core of all human beings is the longing to feel seen, heard and worthy of connection. Therapy is an opportunity for a client to connect in a deeper way with themselves as well as within their relationships. Raquel is passionate about emotional health and helping you connect to and regulate your emotions to improve your communication, self esteem and relationships. Raquel is the host of Feel and Find Out podcast where she dives into the world of emotions and mental health.

As a therapist who works with individuals and couples, 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.

**Unable to take new clients at this time. I have been practicing as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2003. After high school I attended Chapman University and earned my Bachelor's in Psychology. Immediately after I went on to achieve my Master's in Social Work at the University of Southern California. Earlier experience centered around high-risk children, teens and families, as well as the seriously mentally ill (SMI) population. Since founding ACC in 2004, I have expanded my focus and training to work with youth, young adults, couples and families dealing with a myriad of mental health challenges and life transitions.

First, I want to thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I focus on creating an emotionally safe place. Safe enough to be vulnerable and lean into discomfort. Safe enough to create change that may be desired or needed. My style is direct, compassionate, and caring. When appropriate, I use humor, transparency, and my own quirky personality to help create a safe environment and vulnerability. It is the balance of being client-centered (meeting clients where they’re at) and encouraging change (which sometimes includes calling out BS or respectfully challenging when needed). Im currently offering in-person and telehealth.
