I identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Are you seeking relief from anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, relationship issues, and change of life events? Some need new skills to deal with these issues and feel better about themselves and their ability to handle life. I wish to help deal with past traumas, learn coping skills to deal with anxiety and depression, learn skills to interact more effectively with others.

In the therapeutic setting, my goal is to provide clients the space to be their most authentic selves. Too often in society, we are forced to wear a façade, or be a fraction of ourselves in any given space, for fear of being “too much” or fear of not being accepted fully. In our sessions, I encourage you to take up space unapologetically. I love being able to help my clients discover their real selves and give them the tools to overcome any obstacles in their journeys towards wellness. I show up to sessions as my authentic self, and I encourage my clients to do the same. The work begins where the masks end.

As a neurodiverse, biromantic, asexual, non-binary person, I recognize the need for therapists who are open and affirming of client identities. I have seen people change through the power of genuine, non-judgmental counseling that allows people a safe space to look at themselves and how they want to fit into the world. My goal is to provide that same warmth and compassion in a way that is tailored to fit an individual’s needs. I firmly believe that everyone has what it takes to grow, and I am here to provide the reflective space for that growth.

Trauma is not just the big, obvious events that happen to us. It is also the small, but significant, experiences that teach us about who we are, where we belong, and what we deserve. Therapy with me often involves digging into the past and those negative beliefs that continue to show up. We may use EMDR and other experiential techniques to process what happened to you or around you. It becomes easier to make changes once those old beliefs have been challenged, let go, and replaced with more adaptive ways of thinking.

I understand the fear and bravery it takes to address issues that block us from being our best self. My relationship with a client is the most important aspect of being effective as a therapist. I am genuine, empathetic, a good listener, and non-judgmental. I accept you as you are and will challenge you to grow at your own pace. I believe that people are the experts of their own lives and am always humbled that they choose me to assist them in their path through life. I want clients to know that they are more than their diagnosis and social labels. We are all human and and deserve a life free from suffering.

Welcome! I'm Jason, and I specialize in working with men and couples. My practice, Phoenix Men's Counseling, helps work with men just like you (or your husband, partner, or relative) with the issues that guys struggle with most, such as stress, depression, cheating, marriage/relationship issues, "nice guy" syndrome (guys who have a hard time saying 'no'), anger, and emotional intimacy, among others. As a guy, I know what men deal with, and work to create a counseling environment that men can relate to, feel heard and find new solutions to their problems. I have 20 years experience working with men.

Hello! I am passionate about empowering my clients to live their most authentic lives. I believe that we all have intuition that helps each of us define our unique values & priorities but that external pressures, social norms, lack of confidence, and trauma often lead us away from that intuition. In therapy, we can work together to rediscover that intuition, build confidence, and pursue goals that help you create the life you desire. I am empathetic, unconditionally accepting, & open, and I believe vulnerability, humor, and compassionate confrontation are all part of a strong therapeutic alliance!

Your ability to seek out resources amidst the pain is a magnificent part of you, and I want to speak to that part. It is important that you remember that growth and healing is not about fixing what is “wrong” with you because you are not broken. Instead of fixing, our time together will be an exploration of all parts of you, one of curiosity and compassion, designed to unearth and liberate the wisdom that already exists inside of you. Going to therapy doesn’t mean that you can’t handle life’s challenges on our own. Rather, it’s a gift that you give yourself to stay mentally and emotionally fit.
