Therapists in Phoenix, AZ

Psychotherapy, from its Greek origin, means to tend or render service to the soul or life spirit. My goal is to assist you to find that quiet place within you, your soul or life spirit, where your healing begins. From this source, you have the opportunity to transform your life. Couples can learn to truly know and accept one another and take their relationship to a higher level. Many of my clients describe me as warm and intuitive and believe that I am able to get to the core of their issues in a relatively short time.

Do you feel like you’re on high alert all of the time—constantly walking on eggshells, worrying about what could happen and on the lookout for danger? Are you consumed with incessant, looping thoughts that make it difficult to focus on tasks at hand and be present with the people around you? Perhaps you engage in perfectionistic thinking and are overly hard on yourself, always second guessing your decisions, stressing about making a mistake and thinking you could have done something better. Welcome to my profile, and approach: with Mindfulness informed choices, we can transform our lives into ones of meaning, reducing our suffering.

I provide both counseling and astrology services, integrating 40 years experience of astrology into my counseling practice. 20 years of counseling experience involves guiding and supporting others through relationship concerns, family issues, anxiety, depression, sleep problems & women's health (sexual, physical, emotional.) I use CBT, psychodynamic, solution focused and emotionally focused modalities to help the client feel confident and secure in their positive coping skills. I also use mindfulness techniques and encourage the client to approach life holistically (mind, body, spirit) to obtain optimum goals of peace and happiness.

Welcome! I'm Kayla Block, owner of Spectrum of Growth Counseling. I love working with adults struggling with understanding their neurodivergent identity. Whether you identify as "on the spectrum" or "neuro-spicy", I love helping clients connect with themselves on a deeper level. I also enjoy working with adults struggling with symptoms related to trauma and dissociation. I find that combining EMDR and IFS parts work can be extremely helpful in getting to "deeper" issues that talk therapy may not adequately address.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, or stuck? Do you constantly feel like you just "aren't good enough"? You are not alone. Living in an age of instant information, external validation and constant pressure to succeed can feel overwhelming. You are in the right place. We understand that you need a safe space to identify what the roadblocks are that are holding you back so that you can start to work through them and heal. We are ready to meet you where you are with compassion and understanding. It shouldn't be so hard to feel comfortable in your own mind and body. We are here to help.

People have an unlimited capacity for growth and change. People come to therapy for a wide range of reasons. My role as a therapist is to assist you in working towards your goals by offering support, validation, as well as practical tools that will assist you in working towards achieving those goals. Most of my training and experience has been in working with individuals who have experienced trauma. What I have learned in each of the practice settings that I have worked in is that each person is unique and requires a slightly different approach. I will routinely check in with you and shift our focus if needed in therapy.

I specialize in working with young adults and women navigating the weight of anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma. I also support new mothers and women going through major life transitions. My goal is to support you through exploring your identity, relationships, and self-esteem. I deeply understand the need for a therapeutic space where you are genuinely seen, heard, and valued. My passion extends to exploring the transformative power of inner child work. While confronting past wounds can be challenging, I believe in the healing and growth that emerges from it.

Hi, my name is Leslie. 15 years ago my husband was killed in a car accident while I was pregnant with our child. I was broken and did not know if I would ever feel happiness again. With the help of therapy I learned the tools I needed to heal, feel happiness again and even thrive. Today I want to help teach you these tools. Trauma and grief can be overwhelming and debilitating. I am a trauma specialist and I can help you make the stress, anxiety, depression and PTSD from a trauma experience greatly reduced. You are not alone.

As a warm, relational, direct and transparent therapist, I create a sense of safety and I talk! People feel comfortable sharing openly. I stay present and together we find ways to transform your past and reconnect to your authentic self. Many of our experiences distort our perception of ourselves. Together we will work to identify what adds value to your life, and learn ways to improve the way you understand yourself and your circumstances to create a sense of personal confidence and joy.

Do you need the courage to better understand yourself and what you are going through? One of the biggest challenges to self-growth is the feeling of shame, making it difficult to be and accept your true self. I can help guide you through this journey, by giving you the opportunity to be vulnerable and fully open. I am here to empower you to live the fulfilling life that you deserve.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, down, anxious about life? Want someone to help you through this tough time? We're in this together. I enjoy helping people move through difficult phases of life (such as young adult, new parents, empty nesters, midlife, retirement, disabling event, and loss). Events in our past can continue to show up and affect us in the present making us feel stuck. Sometimes we repeat patterns and don't understand why. I offer a safe space where you can comfortably explore your feelings and obtain tangible strategies designed to help facilitate growth. I specialize in life transitions and trained in trauma modalities.

Are you looking to make a change in your life and are not sure how to begin? Do you ever wonder how your childhood experiences and life choices have affected you as an adult? Always stuck in unhealthy relationships, keep going back to prison, mired in addiction or afraid of success? Do your mental health issues keep holding you back from your true potential? If so, why not begin the process of making those changes to reach your true potential. It's never too late to begin to the process of healing, forgiveness and learning about who you are so you can move forward and have a fulfilling life.

I believe anyone can learn how to create and foster a healthy meaningful life. Our work in therapy will be strength-based, collaborative, and uniquely tailored as no two people are alike. Together, we will work to create insight and connect the relationship between beliefs, behavior patterns, and emotional responses in an effort to deepen the understanding of your capabilities and choices in life.

Sometimes it can feel like something is holding you back from living the life you envision, or at times, you can feel lost and don't know what else to do. I can help clients discover the answer. I will never tell clients what to do, but through healthy conversation, guidance and recommendations, I can help clients have more fulfilling relationships, empower clients to take action on their own, and help create and achieve personal goals. My therapeutic approach in each session is listening to clients closely, asking questions as needed to fully understand the issues discussed, and validating my client’s emotions and feelings.

I am excited to offer the services of my private therapy practice for children, adolescents, and their families, as well as adults, Through the Woods Therapy AZ, LLC.   For the past 11 years I have worked with children and their families who have struggled with issues including but not limited to: suicide attempts and ideation, homicidal ideation, family conflict, behavioral issues, aggression, anxiety, emotional and physical abuse, ADHD, defiance, and emotion dysregulation. I also provide therapy services for adults struggling with depression, anxiety, anger management, as well as other difficulties.

You have the freedom to create the life that you choose. Rather than conforming and living out someone else’s vision, let’s work together to embrace and build upon the things that make you unique. I support a community that encourages people to use their abilities and talents by working with neurodivergent people and families to construct values, set goals, and clear the path toward a meaningful life. Let's maximize your strengths and learn how to manage the things that cause distress and harm your relationship with yourself and the world.

Life sometimes doesn't go as planned and some challenges can benefit from an experienced guide. I am a specialist in treating trauma and in working with couples. I seek to help develop the tools needed by each unique client using evidence-based approaches balanced with patience, warmth, and enthusiasm. I try to meet each person where you are, discover the strengths within, and focus on helping you live a life based on what you value. I believe communication and boundaries are vital in all relationships and try to provide a supportive, encouraging, sometimes light-hearted, and non-judgmental space for exploration and healing for all.

In this fast-paced world, many life challenges are at times more than one can handle. Whether it is processing past trauma or learning new strategies for coping with current stressors, you are taking the difficult first step. As a therapist of 20 years, I am committed to providing quality therapy to meet your needs with a personalized, solution-focused approach. I have twenty years of experience working with a variety of individuals, couples, and families of all ages. I also provide EMDR, a specialized type of trauma therapy. If you would like to know more about how we can work together, I look forward to connecting with you.

I chose to become a therapist after doing social work with children and families. Witnessing the trauma and the way that trauma impacted those individual lives caused me to develop an interest in and concern for individuals struggling with CPTSD, PTSD and childhood trauma. I have always enjoyed listening to people's stories and making a genuine connection. I believe in the healing power of therapy and the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I believe in the importance of active listening and making you feel truly heard, cared about, safe, and understood. The majority of my experience is as a child and family therapist.
