Christian Therapists in Tucson, AZ
I know what it's like to struggled with insecurity, shyness, fear of rejection, and feeling “sense of not good enough.” As a young man the pain led me to heavy drinking to cope with life. Never imagined that the pain would one day turn into my hidden treasure and legacy! The law of Serendipity says our misfortune can turn into fortune if we do not give up!
I was inspired by psychologists like Albert Ellis, who transformed his own fears into tools that helped others heal. Today, I see many of our deepest struggles not as proof of failure, but as places where growth, meaning, compassion, and strength can emerge.

I am passionate about people, relationships, and healing. I believe the greatest joy, peace, and happiness we experience in life comes from a deep connection with ourselves and with those we love. There are many reasons we don't experience these connections: trauma, attachment wounds, addictions, lack of modeling, mental health issues, and the inevitable stressors of life. I offer healing and compassion in a safe therapeutic relationship where tools, knowledge, insight, and understanding will strengthen and heal connections with yourself and others.

You've handled it on your own for a long time. You show up, you provide, you keep the people around you okay — and somewhere along the way, you stopped being okay yourself. Maybe it's the irritability, the flatness, the sense you're just going through the motions. Maybe the friendships have thinned out and there's no one you'd actually say this to. Maybe it's a habit you can't seem to stop. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to keep carrying it alone, and reaching out doesn't make you less of a man. As a therapist who works with addiction every day, I can tell you it's one of the strongest things you can do.

I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Phylicia, the Founder, Owner, and Therapist of Pierced Valley Therapy—a Black, woman-owned and operated space created for those navigating life's deepest valleys in Arizona statewide. I love working with BIPOC individuals, service members, and survivors who are looking for a place where they don’t have to explain themselves, their culture, or their service before they can start their healing. Together, we work to 'pierce the valley'—moving through the shadows of trauma or overwhelm in a steady, intentional way until you reach the light on the other side.

For 17 years, I have successfully worked with people to gain insight and create positive patterns of behavior to repair broken relationships, heal from past abuse/trauma, overcome addiction of all kinds, break free from anxiety and depression, and achieve greater life satisfaction. I strive to create a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental environment for clients to feel understood and accepted. I often use stories from my life experiences as a youth pastor, Jr. High teacher, and married father of three. The most common positive comment I receive from clients is that they always leave having learned something new.

Hello! I think the most essential component of therapy is a genuine connection between client and therapist. This means arriving as we are, and trusting that we can bring all of who we are into our time together. My approach is warm, grounded, and integrative. I draw from evidence-based practices to meet you where you are at. I believe in the capabilities of everyone I work with because we all have the power to heal and grow, and at times just need help with our capacity to handle life's oppositions. You are not just a set of symptoms — you are a story in motion. I am honored to be a witness to your narrative.

I primarily work with narcissistic abuse survivors as well as empaths and HSP's (which are typically targeted by narcissists). I also work with couples who feel they are in toxic dynamics and feel stuck. This life is hard but having someone who you can talk to is so helpful and I communicate with my clients, not stare at you and expect you to do all talking! I promise you that even when it feels like you just can't do it anymore.. you really can! I personally have experienced much of life's hardships but I'm grateful for that because it gave me the opportunity to help so many others! My website link has my calendar to book a sesh.

My ideal clients are children and adolescents (ages 5–20) experiencing challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, autism, grief, or aggression. They may struggle to express emotions, manage behaviors, or feel safe and understood. They and their families seek support, emotional regulation, and practical tools to navigate daily life, improve relationships, and build confidence in a safe, nurturing environment.
