Grief Therapists in Scottsdale, AZ

Have you tried traditional talk therapy before but are now looking for something that goes deeper? Maybe life has forced you to slow down due to the loss of a loved one or another significant change. Perhaps you’ve just come to realize that despite all this go-go-go, you actually feel like you’re still lacking direction, purpose, and deep connection with yourself and those close to you. You don’t want to have to “rehash” the past or revisit every detail of what you’ve experienced, but you know that life can feel different than it does today. You believe long-term change is possible…you just need some help getting there.

People grieve for lots of things aside from an actual death . Sometimes the process of grieving or adapting to change can be overwhelming and exhausting. We are most especially challenged when things happen to us that we do not choose or are out of our control. Sometimes these circumstances lead to high anxiety, depression and coping choices that may hurt us. This is when we lose sight of who we are, where our strength lies, and may have a hard time just trying to live our daily lives. This is when we need some gentle, clear, skillful support and guidance.

If life and all it brings leaves you feeling trapped, fearful, depressed, or overwhelmed, I can help. I offer a safe, collaborative, therapeutic experience, uniquely tailored to meet your needs. Together we will move toward success in managing stress, satisfaction in relationships, enjoyment of life, & well-being.

Faith based counseling available. Currently I exclusively offer tele-counseling for clients in Arizona and Virginia.

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.

Hi, I’m Cynthia. Welcome to Desert Somatics & Psychotherapy. In this practice, I endeavor to create a safe, healing space for people to work with the most vulnerable parts of themselves. When you are facing anxiety, depression, burnout, overwhelm, grief and loss , or the residual effects of traumatic situations or experiences, it can feel insurmountable. My passion is helping people to take the big, scary events, feelings, thoughts, and life experiences they are facing and to break them down into manageable pieces we can work through together. In so doing, we find that healing and repair are possible.

Together, we will meet the challenges of emotional wounds, fears, destructive habits that keep you stuck, and the loud voice of the inner critic that compromise your aliveness and authentic life. You will not find a one-size-fits-all approach to your treatment. My approach is collaborative and integrative, which means I work holistically to identify the interconnected mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual tools that can help you to create a more resilient, authentic, and joyful life. So, let’s roll up our sleeves and do the deeper work to reclaim your true aliveness and make the important changes in your inner and outer life.

Humans are by nature social animals and yet many of us have lost connection within ourselves and our community. I believe this is due, in part, to a frantic world that has led to relational trauma, a poor sense of self, health challenges, addiction, loss and isolation. Feeling relevant, finding meaning, having a mission, knowing joy and learning emotional regulation/tolerance/resiliency are ways in which we can heal ourselves and the world at large. In addition to working with private clients, my group practice provides intensive outpatient programming for clients in crisis who are seeking change in a short period of time.

At Therapy With Heart, we have a passion for helping people grow and make changes in their life which will be clear from the minute you first make contact. Relationships matter! Family dynamics, partnership/couples and intimacy, dating, or grief and loss are all connected to relationships! It takes courage to decide to enter therapy and until you feel safe and comfortable, it is challenging to create change. Therefore, we structure the session around mindfulness, emphasizing strengths, and collaborating together on the work. We provide you with the highest quality therapy by specialty professionals.

Are you a parent who’s concerned about your child or a woman navigating a new season of life? Sometimes, these burdens can become too much to bear on your own. Your child may have started behaving differently, worrying excessively, or having difficulties at school. You love your child, and it’s so difficult to watch them struggle and not know how to help them! Perhaps you’re walking through a season of grief or loss due to death , divorce, or another big life change. You haven’t felt like “yourself” in a long time, and it’s starting to impact the way you work, feel about yourself, and connect to the people close to you.

Do you feel alone? Or shame more than serenity and self-esteem? This can be due to being depressed, loss of someone dear to you, experiencing trauma, an accident, or recovering from cancer. Perhaps your hope and purpose in life is gone or in question. Or your sense of meaning in life uncertain. I will walk along with you as you walk a path to healing and hope as you process this and grow to feel more confident, less depressed or anxious, and life makes sense again. Life can present many difficulties. Together we can find the answer for you.

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.
