Therapists in Scottsdale, AZ

Have you noticed that the recent changes in our world have resulted in more worry, less self care, increased frustration and an overall sense of discomfort? Are you looking for some relief from increased stress so you can find happiness and feel good every day? Or, are you trying to avoid miscommunication and repair the disconnection you feel within your relationship? As a first responder, public safety worker or medical provider, are you feeling exhausted, burned out and really need to talk to someone, in confidence who understands the culture and nuances of your work demands and responsibilities? I am here to help you feel better.

Are you feeling like you have to "have it all together” but doing so feels impossible? How about feeling overwhelmed within your many roles? I'm willing to bet you're tired of being tired, too. I get it, trying to manage it all is exhausting. What if I told you that finding balance is possible? Sure, it takes some work at first, but life doesn't have to keep feeling this way. Whether you are a college student, parent, or business executive - wherever you are in life, I can help you reconnect with yourself, calm the chaos, & create balance in your day-to-day life. I can help you go from barely surviving to completely thriving!

If you have found me I would imagine that for most of your life you have felt weird, different, like a black sheep. You might be a "loner", or struggle to connect with other people in a "normal" way. You have probably spent your life floating in and out of social circles seeking a specific kind of connection with others, only to be let down when things don't work out. You doubt yourself, you are afraid to let other people down, you care so much that it's often detrimental to you and your well being. All I can say is, you are not alone.

Fact: Life can feel really messy some days! We can all go through challenging seasons of life feeing overwhelmed, anxious and just plain stuck! Sometimes our most important relationships suffer and we feel confused, betrayed, angry, hurt and like we have lost our way. Fact: You and I were designed for connection! We all have a deep down desire to be seen, heard and known. At times we may feel alone or like we are the only one and may rely on strategies that serve us for a season but are not sustainable for our healing and growth.

My mission in life is to create and hold a safe, trust-filled space where everyone who enters feels understood, seen, heard, accepted and loved. Through my own life experiences and a person-centered, strengths-based lens, I welcome individuals, couples, adolescents and families. My scope of practice encompasses life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, survivors of suicide, separation and divorce, parenting/co-parenting, individuals coping with chronic pain, illness and degenerative diseases, caregivers, parents and siblings of individuals with special needs, intimacy and sexual concerns, anxiety and depression, fears and phobias.

Every one of us has the potential to learn and grow from adversity, given the right support and helpful tools. Struggling with ongoing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or parenting challenges? Experienced a trauma, loss or chronic stress? Life doesn't need to be so difficult! With over 20 years of counseling experience, I offer guidance to assist you in developing skills and strategies to cope with your concerns. Together, we will work to help you identify your strengths, boost your resilience and find your way to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Clients won't care how much you know until they know how much you care... This is my mantra as a clinician. I work to humanize therapy; to provide a connection, a place to be vulnerable and feel valued. I see both adolescents and adults who are coping with anxiety and depression related to life stage transitions, grief, or medical/mental health diagnoses. I specialize in children with adjustment disorders, self esteem issues, and social emotional issues impacting learning. My work with adults is focused on processing grief, divorce/relationship issues, and anxiety/depression.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I provide a safe space from the initial contact so you feel comfortable to work on your goals. I want to make this process as comfortable as possible so clients can reach their goals quickly. My approach is collaborative with all clients and all presenting concerns. I believe that each client has their own unique story and I want to validate this story and healing. I work with clients ages 13 years old and up, focusing on individual and relationship issues. My email is minongmaier@gmail.com.

What courage it takes for you to just be here. Welcome. And thank you for taking this step. Life is challenging and my belief is that even with a little help, you can overcome those challenges and function at your best. The past can be your teacher, and time your healer. My belief is that when we stop fighting the past or our present hardships is when we can THRIVE. I will meet you where you are. We can go from there.

If you're struggling in your career, considering taking life in a different direction, or feel "stuck" in life (or in a rut), I want to talk with you today to see if I can help. Maybe you're dealing with low self-worth or confidence, need help with accountability and motivation, or have trouble with work-life balance. As a career and life coach, I specialize in helping people just like you.

IS AGING AN ATTITUDE OR JUST A NUMBER? ARE YOU REALLY ONLY AS OLD AS YOU FEEL? SOME DAYS FEELING OLDER THAN OTHERS AND WONDERING "WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MY LIFE?" A positive outlook can enhance the quality of life but sometimes that is just not enough. Growing older presents many challenges: physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally and cognitively. An integrated approach to improving quality of life is our approach. With you, we can address concerns about facing loss, changing relationships, dealing with adult sons and daughters, and/or reviewing life events that have affected your current mood and emotions.

Virginia Mohammed is a Licensed Master Social Worker in Arizona. She graduated with a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Missouri and works with trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, social skills, self-esteem, and grief. She has been providing mental health services for 12 years.

I specialize in adult psychotherapy practice, specifically with major life and identity transitions no matter what age, stage or role you currently occupy. Whether you're a young adult facing the terror of leaving the safety and comfort of home for the first time or if you're someone who is transitioning from working full time to retiring and relaxing full time, I believe that our work together can assist in getting you to where you want to be. I treat the entirety of the person, not just your psyche.

Your Anxiety is a car on a racetrack of thoughts where the only way off is a brief pit stop for repairs. But that only delays reentry to the same circular pattern. Your mind turns familiar scenarios, images, and disasters over and over again, plunging you into stomach-clenching agony. Stress from work, family, and other relationships only make it worse. The worry and fear get so bad sometimes that they boil over into panic. The shame of losing control causes the cycle to start all over again. So, you become avoidant of the people and places that seem to trigger these difficult feelings.

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.

Everyone deserves a safe space and providing that is my first priority. I am a client-centered, down-to-earth clinician who leads with empathy, honesty, and humor. There is often a dog in my office (and glitter all over the floor) and my Southern accent tends to sneak in without warning. My goal is to help people live fulfilling lives of dignity and I genuinely want to see individuals and families live life to the fullest. I invite you to come just as you are and would be honored to partner with you during your healing journey!

Are you grieving your past, present and future? Do you feel like you are trying to find peace or resolution? Have you stopped caring for yourself because you are caring for others? I help those grieving their loss of physical capacity due to unexpected health conditions, caregivers who find their roles rapidly changing, and military members and their family members facing transition due to deployment, role changes and service related injuries. I work with individuals who need support finding meaning, safety and acceptance with their present moment while honoring their journey- helping you find meaning and purpose in the now.
