Therapists in Phoenix, AZ

Reaching out for support can be difficult. Often when we finally decide to reach out we are already experiencing overwhelm and feeling discouraged. Maybe you are experiencing anxiety, having difficulty sleeping, being more irritable than usual, or having difficulty enjoying things in your day to day life. If you've experienced trauma you could be struggling with flashbacks, fear, avoidance, and difficulty moving forward in you life. Maybe your child or teen is having new behaviors, tantrums, isolation, or difficulty with connection. I am here for all of you and will stand with you on your healing journey.

Finding the right therapist is not easy and comes down to having meaningful, fun and memorable conversations with a person you can safely share your complicated healing issues with. You need to trust you won’t be judged, can safely share your vulnerable issues and ultimately get help learning new perspectives to look at your most stubborn problems. I’m here to help you with all of that if you think I’m the right therapist for you. It is your motivation and resilience that improves your life – I only want to help you find the best answers for your healing. My style is interactive and tends to be short-term (7-15 sessions usually.)

I specialize in gender dysphoria, anxiety and trauma. Our journey together is about healing past wounds & shedding the negative beliefs that are keeping you stuck & away from the joy that is your innate right to experience. The struggle to lesson anxiety, depression, gender dysphoria and/or the pain of past traumas has led many of my clients to self-sooth through a variety of ways including eating, smoking, drinking, gaming, & toxic relationships. Through therapy, including EMDR and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, my clients not only get unstuck, they soar.

Hello, I’m Carlyn (pronouns she/her) I believe love and belonging are at the core of who we are and how we connect with others. My experience as a mother of three has helped me understand how attachment plays an important role in how we develop. Our early attachments, trauma, and life experiences can create incredible discomfort and we learn ways to cope and survive, that are not always helpful. Some people think that going to therapy is about getting advice from someone, but our job is to help you learn to trust yourself. My goal as a therapist is to be accepting, non-judgmental, and help to create a safe space for you to grow.

As a member of our community we know that maintaining good mental health is an ongoing process and one that requires a good fit between you and your provider. We understand the courage it takes to ask for help, so give yourself credit for taking this step. Our holistic approach targets a variety of needs from managing stress, to preparing for life changes, to coping with diagnoses supported by medication. Your treatment is tailored through individual assessments and treatment plans to keep things as unique as you are, whether you're an individual, couple, or family unit. (Licensed in AZ & MA)

Maybe coming to therapy is an easy, intuitive next step for you. You know and trust yourself to find just the right counselor.

I have been in practice since 1997. I am Licensed Professional Counselor as well as an Advanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Certified Clinician (CBT-C) & Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) to address anxiety and depression. I believe it is the relationship with the patient and therapist which are significant to build trust and in turn facilitate change. It is important to have a treatment plan to set goals to learn healthy coping skills to address negative thought patterns. The recent years have brought such change in how we work, attend school, have relationships, and work through adversity. Therapy is key.

As human beings, we heal through connecting emotionally with other human beings. It’s not necessarily the talking that heals us, but the being heard. We are fellow travelers in the same ocean, going through the same storm in our own boats. It is our shared humanity that connects us all. Therapy comes from the heart, and I hope to show my own humanity and humility and empower you to know that you know your story best! I am also mindful of the realities of the world in which we live, and I take a liberation-based approach toward counseling. As Maya Angelou writes, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."
