Often when we imagine the process of pregnancy and having a baby, we picture moments of happiness and joy. But pregnancy, birth, and parenting are like the rest of life. There is often joy, but there can be tough times too. Sometimes pregnancy and postparttum depression, anxiety and self-doubt become overwhelming. The unexpected happens, things don't go as planned, relationships change, or grief and loss occurs. If you are having concerns about becoming pregnant, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, pregnancy loss, or being a new parent, you are not alone. Please know it's not your fault, you can get help, and you can feel better.

Hello, I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Arizona with a Doctoral degree in Behavioral Health Education and a Master's degree in Counseling.

Parenting doesn't come naturally to all of us, and that is OK! Are you finding yourself filled with fear? Or thinking you are not a good parent? If you answered yes, you are not alone! One in 6 moms describe symptoms of postpartum depression or anxiety and 1 in 10 Dads. When I was a new Mom I experienced PPD without available resources. This is not true for today! I want to share tools to help you thrive during this important time. The skills you aquire will help you today and throughout your life.

I am so happy you are here! Do you often feel helpless or over think things? Do you feel stressed to the point you are unable to gather your thoughts? Is trauma holding you back? Do you ever feel stuck in a relationship that seems to have lost its physical and emotional spark that you once had? Do you feel you no longer can communicate? Are you a mom or soon to be mom? I have years of experience in Women issues, Perinatal mood and Post Partum, Relationship/Marriage counseling, and/or individual trauma counseling can help you explore emotions and find yourself again. I would love to be a part of your journey!

I am a certified sex therapist with a focus on sexuality, intimacy, and relationships. I offer individual and couples counseling focused on sexual addiction, infidelity, polyamory, kink/BDSM, desire differences, sexual pain and other health concerns impacting sexuality, and generally helping individuals improve their understanding of their sexuality. I use a sex positive approach that works to reduce shame and improve communication around sex. I would love to hear your story and see what I can do to support you. I see clients in person in Phoenix, and through telehealth in NM.

Our practice offers a warm retreat where your experience is honored and our expertise helps to integrate your experience into creating a life worth living. Through the principles of DBT, CBT, Spiritual Integration, and Mind-Body Connective work we believe emotional healing is possible. We understand that relationships form the context for reflection, learning and application and hope to connect you with a therapist who makes the connection work for you. With more than 20 years experience working with DBT and persons needing intensive integrative work recovering from past traumas, we offer opportunities for therapists to specialize in this work under close supervision. This allows us to offer sliding scales to our patients and to provide more options for matching with the therapist they need.

I specialize in working with women and the BIPOC community, especially those with multicultural identities (immigrant, first generation, multilingual, etc.). I understand the importance of working with someone who fosters a safe environment and embraces all aspects of your being. It's essential to me that you feel secure, acknowledged, listened to, and appreciated.

The pregnant and postpartum periods are life changing and can be beautiful. However, they are also incredibly complex, can extend well beyond the first year after birth, and can present challenges that are different from anything else. The symptoms and diagnoses that accompany this life stage are unique, but entirely curable with help from a specially trained therapist. My specialty is perinatal (“around birth,” or the pregnant and postpartum periods) mental health, which includes perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), perinatal grief and loss, and birth trauma.

Life presents numerous challenges; at Desert Horizons Therapy, I specialize in comprehensive support, focusing on trauma. My EMDR training guides individuals through difficulties like depression, anxiety, anger, grief, stress, autism, family and couple issues, self-growth, self-esteem, substance abuse, sleep problems, postpartum anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and psychosis. My inclusive approach extends to families, couples, adults, and children. We also have an associate-level female clinician on staff if you prefer a female provider!

Staring at the slow monotonous drip of the office coffee maker, you realize your life is slipping away one day at a time. Hopelessness and the overwhelm of motherhood is settling into your bones. Your days are a blur, what day even is it? You’re exhausted. You are drowning in laundry, appointments for your child, and no time for yourself. Feeling like you don't know who you are anymore. Are you more than a mother? Praying that you don't feel like a terrible mother at the end of the day. Praying that you aren't messing up your children one moment at a time. Praying that your spouse will understand how badly you need a break one day.

Hey! I am Coral (they/them)- I am a queer, nonbinary, neurodivergent LAC/sex therapist with an education background in trauma-informed sex therapy. I am committed to creating a collaborative space where folx can seek wellness, pleasure, and liberation. I believe in supporting and empowering people in navigating the exploration of gender, sexuality, kink, non-monogamous relationships, intimate relationships, shame free sex and any other situations life has to offer.

Life these days can be isolating, stressful, and demanding. Thriving can be even more difficult for those struggling with anxiety, past trauma, grief, and life transitions. With my educational and professional emphasis in the field of child and family welfare, I have much experience working with individuals through stressors in the nuclear family, as well as the family of origin. I am passionate about supporting those in transitioning roles such as college, young adulthood, work, parenting, relationships/marriage, empty-nesting, and grief. The goal of our work together will be to make the specific, positive changes you desire.

My passion for service is especially directed at underrepresented communities (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+). I understand there is power in being heard, seen and validated and I pride myself in allowing my clients the space for that. I use a combination of Eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR), motivational interviewing (MI), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), solution focused therapy (SFT), and mindfulness to help people navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, self esteem, relationships, and other issues.

Sometimes life doesn't go the way we thought or planned. Maybe it's your career, relationships, loss of a friend or loved one, parenting or all of the above. We have so many struggles and mountains to climb in life but you don't always have to go through those alone.

I am an LCSW with approx. 7 years of experience. I have worked with clients of all different ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds and in many different settings. My therapeutic style is integrative, but I tend to pull mostly from CBT, DBT, EMDR, and SFBT. I believe that interventions are unique to client needs and it is my opinion that the therapeutic relationship is the most important part of treatment therefore I work hard to connect to my clients. I pride myself on being openminded, understanding, and relatable and push my clients to work hard towards the change they desire.

Accepting new clients, telehealth only until Oct. I guide clients to gain insight, clarity and practical solutions to better navigate life. Together, we will explore finding a balance between feeling peaceful, living passionately, and having a sense of purpose. My approach is based on the belief that the quality of your life can be improved by focusing not only on your mind, but your body and soul as well. Struggling with uncomfortable feelings that seem unmanageable is common when dealing with stress. Self-esteem, self-worth, and well-being are often compromised by everyday experiences and relationships. Change is possible.
