Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Phoenix, AZ

Are you interested in living more authentically and fostering deeper connections with yourself and others? The most important relationship you have is with yourself. This affects other aspects of your life- your health and wellness, how you relate to others, and how you are performing at school or work. Life's struggles aren't linear and can be unpredictable, oftentimes catching us off guard. If unprepared for the challenges faced, they can leave us feeling overwhelmed and less connected with ourselves and others. I most enjoy working with those seeking awareness and inner balance.

Are you ready to be seen? The world is constantly evolving and can be hard to navigate with life transitions and stress, especially for queer gay men (LGB+) and people of color. My goal is to provide services to those who struggle with barriers of communication in dating and relationships, perfectionism and shame, and PTSD. I utilize a unique systemic approach to working with individuals and couples that want to enrich their lives. I enjoy guiding and exploring solutions at a client-centered pace using accountability for change.

My name is Grace Shivka! My pronouns are she/her. I focus on providing affirming, humanistic, and client-centered counseling for adolescents and adults. I believe each client is the expert to their own story and lived experience. As a counselor, I can provide a therapeutic lens combined with tailored coping skills, emotion regulation strategies and interpersonal effectiveness skills to help you navigate living with trauma, conflict, and other mental health challenges. While we address your unique needs and goals together, you will be met with empathy, openness, warmth, honesty, and compassion every step of the way.

Are you in need of a safe space to process personal experiences and life challenges? Are you struggling with racing thoughts and managing your mood effectively? I'm here to help. I work with individuals, couples, and families to utilize their unique talents and capacities to overcome interpersonal issues, family challenges, and traumatic experiences. My approach to therapy is collaborative and includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength Base, EMDR, and Psycho-Education. I am passionate, authentic, and dedicated to providing services to individuals and families from a culturally sensitive lens and a nonjudgmental stance.

It takes time to pick up the pieces. Parts of you may feel broken, paralyzed, and unheard. With intergenerational systems of dysfunction, very few of us grew up with anything approaching healthy relating. As mammals, we can use the natural force towards connection along with regulating our autonomic fitness to return to our joyful and intuitive self. I can help adults and teens create movement in the isolated "stuck places" and integrate unprocessed pain and suffering. I am passionate about serving children who also highly benefit from therapy by communicating their inner world through play.

Immediate Openings! If you are here, you are likely struggling with one of the most difficult times in your life and I applaud your courage to seek help. As a trained listener, I will hold space for you with empathy. It is my passion to help people cope through those difficult moments whether it be due to trauma, relationship issues, grief and loss, or depression. Traumatic experiences can sometimes cause a desire to hide from the world in a dark hole hoping the pain will pass. I am here to bring a candle into that dark hole and join you there with kindness as we navigate the way out.

Hi! I’m Jordan Hicks (she/they), and I am accepting new clients. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker at the Gender Identity Center in Phoenix. I received my bachelor’s degree from Arizona State University in Psychology with a focus on Gender Studies and Human Development. I earned my Master of Arts in Social Work from The University of Chicago, with a focus on trauma informed care. I recently moved back to Arizona to begin my professional career. I believe knowing oneself intimately is a special gift that we all deserve. Therapy can be used as a guiding tool in understanding your mind and body in more intimate ways.

I offer virtual psychotherapy for adolescents and adults in Illinois and Arizona. My holistic and eclectic treatment approach draws from strength-based, cognitive-behavioral, positive psychology, culturally sensitive, and mindfulness-based theories to understand problems and bring about growth and change. I believe every individual is unique and treatment is tailored to the individual’s needs. I value client self-determination and feel empowering clients to participate in their treatment process actively is essential. Sessions focus on building on an individual’s strength and capacity for change while addressing the stressor.

NOW accepting new clients! Adults, adolescents and children ages 10+. I help individuals from different backgrounds face and overcome their mental and emotional challenges by empowering them with the tools to achieve their life goals. Everyones life has purpose, meaning, and a capacity for joy. I strive to create a compassionate environment that inspires hope. Where people feel important, valued, understood, and welcomed. Then we can work together to challenge the thought patterns and emotional limitations we may put on ourselves.

As a queer, person of color, I believe in creating a non-judgmental and culturally sensitive space to assist clients in creating a life that they love. Due to the pandemic, many of us have had more time for reflection than we might have had in the past. Maybe this time of reflection has caused you to question your identity, gender or sexuality. Exploring and integrating your gender or sexuality can feel overwhelming, especially in a world that can be hostile to LGBT/Queer people, but you do not have to do it alone. Seeking help takes courage. You are courageous.

As a dedicated therapy intern, I'm here to help you achieve your goals. We all have our own unique journey, facing different challenges along the way. Sometimes, these challenges require learning new skills, processing the past, or simply seeking support. I provide a stable and supportive space for you to explore who you are and overcome these obstacles. By working together, you can see your progress and make choices that lead you toward your potential. Your journey is important, and I'm here to guide you towards a path of growth and fulfillment.

I have been a therapist since 1977, starting out working in the substance abuse field. I am also a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. My website is www.beverlyjanowitzprice.com. I firmly believe that the majority of our issues began in childhood, some of which can be very subtle. I like to work with people on healing their underlying issues.

As a Servant Leader, I bring a profound lifelong passion for health and healing, which permeates my work as a therapist and educator.

Easy! Find someone you feel is approachable, with expertise in supporting your needs and meeting your goals.

Parenting can be difficult. This is especially true when your child is experiencing behavioral problems. Whether it’s problems within the parent-child relationship, academics, peer relationships, or difficulty managing emotions, I can help. Young children are unique in their experience of the world and the challenges they face. My experience in the Birth to Five field as well as working with individuals of all ages has provided me the opportunity to help families from many different backgrounds with a variety of problems.

Loss of jobs, relationships, chemical addiction, life transitions, trauma, abuse and the stress of day to day living come with an array of thoughts and emotions, which at some points in our lives can become overwhelming. We start to feel like nothing can get better, and began to self destruct or stay stuck, out of fear of the unknown or poor habits. My goal is to best assist and support people in living authentic, balanced lives; navigating increased self-awareness in social systems, past experiences, core beliefs and thoughts and their influence on our daily emotional states, behaviors and actions.

Who looks outside dreams. Who looks inside awakens, quote C.G. Jung. I am a doctor in depth psychology with a psychodynamic therapeutic approach. If you notice behaviors, thoughts, or feelings interfering with your life creating depression, anxiety, etc. even addiction, we will work on your insights, and increase your self-awareness regarding intentions and/or behaviors that no longer serve any purpose in your life. Maybe you have long-standing negative beliefs and reactions repeating themselves, hiding in traumatic experiences. Perhaps ongoing questions demand deeper answers. In collaboration we will work on reaching your goal.

Have a few spots open for new clients! (as of 4/16/24) / / / My time as a Therapist/Human has given me a chance to grow, learn, and partner with a beautiful mixture of people and personalities. Thru this, I've learned the value of consulting the research AND trusting the lived experience of the person in front of me. My approach to therapy has some "Golden Retriever" energy - friendly, enthusiastic, curious, and ready for some puzzle-solving! (Lol.) Folks tend to find my support most helpful when they feel ready for direct, supportive, sometimes playful feedback to help sort thru and navigate the wild challenges Life brings.
