Elders (65+) Therapists in North Scottsdale, Scottsdale, AZ

My name is Suzi Wall and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist and Social Worker practicing in Arizona since 1985. I trained and work with outstanding practitioners in the areas of Behavioral, Medical, Mental Health, Chronic Illness, Developmental Disabilities, Education, and Geriatric Care. Working with clients from early childhood to end of life. Working in hospitals, school systems, mental-behavioral health agencies, assisted living, and nursing homes. Working as a team with my clients has been a gift as together we identify their concerns, develop treatment plans, and help them move forward with a brighter future.

If you are currently struggling with family issues, feel free to email me or call. I am currently taking patients through a video chat called Doxy.me. I will teach you how to effectively communicate, be less anxious during this stressful time and become more self-assured in your everyday decisions. I see individuals ages 11+, couples, families and seniors . Our work will empower you to make the changes that you need to make in order to live a more fulfilling life. I am currently seeing clients through both telehealth and in person.

Within all people there is a compelling force to move toward life and fulfillment. There are challenges along the way, and in the midst of COVID 19, there is extraordinary stress. Health, relationships and coping is of paramount importance. Is there hope for my marriage? What impact is marital conflict having on my children? I specialize in co parenting after divorce and those contemplating divorce. My background allows me to work with chronic illness, as well as with medical students, residents and fellows experiencing both acute and long term stress, particularly in their personal and professional lives.

After many years of my own psychotherapy with several different behavioral health practitioners, I am grateful for their reaching out to me with their intelligence, experience and empathy. The majority of my patients seeking psychotherapy complain and often exhibit signs of depression or anxiety, and often both. They often have difficulty throughout the day and night, having trouble concentrating with fatigue and poor short-term memory, with persistent eating issues, and hypersomnia and or insomnia, worsening their condition. My treatment techniques include psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused.

Hi, I'm Carolyn! My passion involves working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, conflict resolution, adjusting to life transitions, and interpersonal issues. Life is complex, just as people are! I view therapy as a collaborative process where clients can learn skills to manage emotions, build healthy relationships, increase self-worth/self-esteem, and create a sense of meaning and purpose in life. I have extensive experience working with the adolescent & young adult population and have specified training in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy).

Every day life happens and, if some days stress, tension, or sadness stand between you and the life you want, know that you are not alone and that there is help. Making sense of a recurring problem, improving a troubled relationship is possible and doable. Together, we will craft a plan to help you shift from reacting to moving consciously into the life you were made for. Self-awareness. Boundaries. Goals and direction. Connection. You can do this.

My career have consisted of working with a wide variety of clients. I have walked alongside many individuals, facing challenges of trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and addiction. Despite incredibly challenging situations, many have been able to uncover their resiliencies. I utilize a solution-focused, strength-based approach, along with compassion, collaboration, and nonjudgmental support to help clients facilitate positive changes in their lives.

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.

Life is a beautiful journey. Everyone experiences unexpected circumstances that lead to personal hardships. I am here to help. My mission is to help people reach peace and happiness within themselves. Also, I strive to help individuals achieve healing that lasts.

I understand that it is difficult asking for help, especially from a stranger. I believe that a warm and supportive environment is essential in the therapeutic process. My goal is to empower each client and to help them realize their potential.

I enjoy working with clients who are seeking to reclaim their authentic selves. I strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment as clients seek to transform the "stuck" imprint of the past. My approach is honest and direct, but also, gentle and compassionate. Clients struggling with addictions, anxiety and depression, trauma, self-esteem issues and relationships issues are encouraged in their journeys to build lives free from addictive dysfunctional patterns. My holistic orientation may include traditional talk therapy, mindfulness, experiential and somatic therapies and spirituality.

Reaching for support can feel tough. I am here to listen as you tell me what you know about you. What brings you here? Are trauma or grief heavy on your heart? Perhaps you are stuck in relational patterns or overwhelm. You may not know what feels off, just that something does. I partner with clients; encouraging you to have a sense of freedom and ownership over your own mental health. Humans are wired with the impulse for connection and healing. I see myself as a travel companion, walking alongside you to support the exploration of coming home to yourself.

Hello, I am Michelle Gallagher. I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist and have a private practice. I work with adults who experience symptoms of trauma, attachment issues, substance use disorders, mood disorders, grief and loss, stress management, and a variety of other issues that impact your life, and the lives of those who care about you. I have a small office in North Scottsdale. Due to COVID-19, HIPAA approved video platform sessions are also available.

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.

The day starts and self-doubt kicks in. Finding the energy to do what you need for others and yourself feels impossible. You're juggling so many roles as spouse, parent, child, business owner, friend, you name it and somehow have lost sight of yourself in the constant pressures of daily life. This leaves you riddled at times with anxiety, sadness, unpredicted tears- ultimately feeling depleted and angry that this cycle doesn't end. Then the secret thoughts begin: "Maybe I'm not good enough or worthy? I have no control. I should have known better. I've failed again..." Communicating these feelings is hard, leaving you stuck.

Making the decision to begin therapy may be a difficult one, but if you have the desire to facilitate real change in your life, I will help you through your journey. Therapy is a process of learning and discovering who you are as well as uncovering what may be preventing you from reaching your goals. My goal is to help you achieve those goals. The end result is most often enlightenment, empowerment where you are able to make better choices and be more confident in your daily life. My specialities include EMDR, CBT and EFT for couples. Please reach out, I'm here to help.

Every journey through life is unique, which is why my approach is multi-modal and completely adaptable to you. Our time together is a partnership where we will honor and explore your experience of fear, love, pain, joy, trauma, and triumph in a safe, non-judgmental space. We will identify your challenges and leverage your strengths for the experience of short and long-term success. My office is a safe space for clients of all ages, cultures, experiences, and gender identities. My experience is in community, crisis, and correctional/re-entry mental health.
