Transgender Therapists in Phoenix, AZ
First off, thank you for being brave enough to take this first step in this journey! Navigating life at any age often brings challenges that are unpredictable, leaving a need of searching for belonging. I believe you deserve to feel confident in your inherent worth and that you belong—always. In the queer community, therapeutic supports are most important and vital for survival. Intersectionality can be beautiful but also lead to loneliness when there is a lack of similarity of your identity around you. As a queer woman of color and as a therapist, I understand the importance of having a space where you can be your truest self.

As a queer, person of color, I believe in creating a non-judgmental and culturally sensitive space to assist clients in creating a life that they love. Due to the pandemic, many of us have had more time for reflection than we might have had in the past. Maybe this time of reflection has caused you to question your identity, gender or sexuality. Exploring and integrating your gender or sexuality can feel overwhelming, especially in a world that can be hostile to LGBT/Queer people, but you do not have to do it alone. Seeking help takes courage. You are courageous.

I am a non-binary, transgender person who strongly values being a part of queer community.
Maybe you're feeling stuck in the same cycles you can't seem to break out of. Maybe you're struggling to maintain relationships that feel safe and supportive. Maybe you know that you've been impacted by the painful experiences you've had, but you don't know where to start with unpacking them. It can be scary to face your pain, and you deserve support. You're not too much, and you're not alone. I want to support you with deepening your self-understanding and self-compassion. Healing is possible when you're ready to start.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, identity questions, relationship stress, or the emotional impact of living with a chronic illness or disability. Many people come to therapy feeling discouraged by past experiences or burdened by the belief that something is “wrong” with them. You may carry heavy self-judgment and uncertainty about who you are, where you belong, or how to move forward. If therapy hasn’t felt like the right fit before, you might be unsure whether it can really help, and still be holding onto the hope that things could feel better. I see people in person in Sierra Vista and via telehealth anywhere in Arizona.

I often work with folks wanting support with eating disorders, their relationship with food or body, or navigating neurodivergence. I especially enjoy supporting people who want to work through past experiences that still feel heavy or continue to affect them today. As an EMDR certified therapist, I walk alongside clients as they process what they’ve been through, build self-compassion, and move toward feeling more at peace in their day to day life.
I have additional training in working with those dealing with dissociation and dissociative disorders. I am also accepting new clients for autism & ADHD assessments.

Hi, I’m Dax, and I’m a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist. I am kink, non-monogamy, and sex work informed and affirming.
Counseling can sometimes leave people feeling frustrated, misunderstood, or disillusioned. I’m passionate about making therapy accessible. I'm not offering a one size fits all approach, but a chance to collaborate on a path forward toward a life you want.
If you are someone who feels stuck in your mental health goals and aren't sure what the next step forward is, I would love the opportunity to offer a new and helpful perspective.

I host a transgender ( LGBTQ) support group in person.

My treatment approach is both creative and flexible. I treat adults for issues that may include: Parenting, Marriage and Relationships, Communication, Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Grief and Bereavement, and Gender issues. My experience over years as an educator, school counselor and behavioral specialist makes treating children and teens a special skill area I offer.

You can be highly capable and still feel disconnected from yourself.
Many people come to therapy feeling burnt out, anxious, or unsure why life and relationships feel so hard despite their efforts. You may be used to holding things together, caring for others, and pushing through while quietly feeling overwhelmed or far away from yourself. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience providing trauma-informed care. My work integrates traditional talk therapy with nervous-system-informed and embodied approaches, supporting both insight and regulation.
