Life can be hard and that is part of the reality that comes with being human. But sometimes even our best effort to move past difficulty falls short. And when our stories do not get listened to or honored, it can create a deep sense of aloneness. Therapy is a relationship where we collaborate to listen to you, the client, in order to find solutions within the particularity of your own story. Whether you are dealing with the difficulties of family or other relationships, the demands of work and school, or struggling with personal or faith issues, counseling can be a powerful way to get back on your feet.

Relationship struggles are exhausting. Is your relationship struggling with communication, boundaries, trust, infidelity or another problem that is making it hard to have a fulfilling relationship? Is it a family matter that has become a complicated mess? Do you find yourself stuck in a cycle you can't seem to get out of? Have you tried to change but just seem to find your situation spiraling? I am here to help. My name is Patricia Guido and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Arizona. Together, we can work to get past these roadblocks and toward you having a stronger, deeper connection with your partner.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist employed at Metta, a group private practice in Tucson. I have training and interest in working with a diverse number of clinical concerns including trauma and PTSD, attachment and developmental wounds, substance abuse, identity, self-discovery, and self-worth, difficult life transitions, relational issues, mood disorders, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety. I highly prioritize creating a safe, non-judgmental, trusting relationship with clients. I believe clients know themselves best, but I assist with gaining insight, self-understanding, and developing self-compassion and worth.

My name is Veronica Machado, I am a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor serving adults and teenagers in the Tucson area. My therapy practice is supportive and kind, and my purpose is to help you find meaning, navigate changes, heal and come back to yourself. Therapy is a space where you are not judged or stereotyped for your identities. I am currently seeing clients via telehealth.

Through mirroring clients’ vulnerability, I hope to create a safe space for individuals seeking guidance to create or reinforce their healing journey. I utilize mindfulness-based practices in trauma therapy and explore the impact of trauma on our bodies and minds to encourage healing and recovery. I integrate attachment-based practices, inner-child work, parts work, and Brainspotting to promote an increased sense of self while cultivating self-compassion. I aim to help clients strengthen their mind-body connection to increase distress tolerance.

I have always held the belief that people need people to both survive and thrive. Combined with my natural curiosity of the human experience, I have found myself here, hoping to be of some service to those who seek it. With a total of fourteen years of professional practice working with various patient populations including children ages 4-17, adults ages 18-70, families, and couples I continue to learn something new every day. I believe in building strong trusting relationships with my patients in order to foster a clear path to change.

I provide both counseling and astrology services, integrating 40 years experience of astrology into my counseling practice. 20 years of counseling experience involves guiding and supporting others through relationship concerns, family issues, anxiety, depression, sleep problems & women's health (sexual, physical, emotional.) I use CBT, psychodynamic, solution focused and emotionally focused modalities to help the client feel confident and secure in their positive coping skills. I also use mindfulness techniques and encourage the client to approach life holistically (mind, body, spirit) to obtain optimum goals of peace and happiness.

Have you ever been afraid to tell your therapist something? I want you to feel comforted, listened to, heard, and experience healing without judgement. Finding a clinician that you feel you can be completely honest with is difficult, within my practice I will provide a space where you can be free from stigma and work towards developing a fulfilling relationship with yourself and moving through your trauma. I am especially thrilled about working with the LGBTQ+ community, BIPOC, sex workers, and kinksters.

It is with immense warmth and gratitude that I extend a heartfelt welcome to you as you embark on this journey of healing, growth, and transformation. My mission is to provide a secure, inclusive, and non-judgmental environment where you and your family can unfold into your fullest potential.

You've always thought of yourself as an artistic, empathic, and intuitive woman. Yet here you are, disconnected from your inner self and the wisdom you know is buried inside. There has to be a purpose to all of this, but the chaos & frantic pace of life is leaving you off-balance. Creativity is a distant dream, relationships are stretched, and your joy is lacking. You long to create a dynamic sense of wholeness, to find your purpose and meaning, but it's a constant struggle. If only the world would stop for a minute. If only you didn't feel everything so deeply. If only you had a moment to re-connect or at least a moment to breathe
