Therapists in Tempe, AZ

Hi, I'm Anthony a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Arizona with more than 10 years of practice in the mental and behavioral health field. I'm currently seeing clients part-time as I continue my education as a PhD student at Arizona State University. I have much experience working with individuals, couples and families; providing client centered care in both residential and outpatient settings. In the wise words of Bill Withers "We all need somebody to lean on". Although a bit before my time, this catchy song presents a cross generational truth that resonates with us all at some point in our lives.

I enjoy helping children achieve positive social, emotional, and behavioral change. These changes include decreasing anxiety, aggressive behaviors, and emotional outbursts, improving self-confidence, and increasing respectful and cooperative behaviors. Life experiences can be difficult for children to understand and navigate. My treatment approach combines play therapy and structured problem solving to help children make positive changes. I provide a nonjudgmental and accepting environment that allows children to explore and learn more effective ways of expressing themselves and interacting with others.

Every individual has their needs and wants in life. I work with individuals, couples, or families to achieve goals to maintain a more meaningful lifestyle. My strength is an honest approach so that people know that I am being genuine with them and that I amwith them in the moment. I help people to find out what gets in the way of them being effective in everyday life and help them look to a healthier future. I believe that everyone has the power in themselves to change, and that everyone needs help sometimes to keep moving forward.

Hello! Life can become messy, with struggles and failures. I believe in the therapeutic process to find meaning during life’s difficulties. I have worked in crisis settings and have experience de-escalating individuals with imminent and passive suicidal thoughts. I have special interest in working with individuals who live with disability; children, teens, and young adults who feel alone on their pathway of life and wonder what meaning is left.

Hello, and thank you for considering me to be your therapist. A bit to know about me... I am passionate about providing services to Young Adults, children and families involved in the foster/adoptive system, LGBTQ+ individuals/families, and Military Members/ Veterans and their family members. Therapy does not have to be a "forever" experience and the timeline can be different for each individual. I believe it's important to identify clear goals so that we always know what we are working towards and when we have achieved what you hoped to achieve with therapy.

Do you feel distant from others and yourself? Do you put yourself last? Should life become better? Happier? People are more anxious, overwhelmed, and confused about maintaining relationships, jobs, and lifestyles than ever. Not taking the time and ignoring your needs can lead to long-term health problems. Healthy living shouldn't be hard. I empower clients to use cultural and spiritual resources for growth, support, and healing in my holistic treatment. I invite clients to explore unique and shared cultural values to enrich and enhance life and create hope for future wellness.

(The next start date for Adolescent DBT Skills Group is 4/18/24!) Therapy can be intimidating and overwhelming; my goal is to ease those worries by providing an empathetic, non-judgmental, and empowering environment. I value the relationship I build with clients and pride myself on using a strengths-based perspective to help you navigate challenges.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Private Practice, with over 30 years of experience in individual, family, marital, divorce, blended family, child and adolescent counseling, and veteran's issues. During that time, I have developed an understanding of human nature that guides me down the path to best help each individual. I believe that no one gets through life without some adversity and difficulty. I strive to treat each person as a unique individual and reinforce their worth and dignity. My clients range in ages from 2 through adult, including the geriatric group.

Everyone experiences stress in their lives. Sometimes this can become overwhelming and seem unmanageable and make you withdraw, isolate, or even become vulnerable to acting out. Whether this is due to school, work, relationships, parenting, or trauma; there are ways to help decrease and restructure the systems that have been affected by severe or prolonged amounts of stress. My name is Erica Van Parys and I am a licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s in Clinical Counseling. I am very holistic in my practice and believe that relationships, connectedness, and collaboration are the key components to success.

Sometimes our lowest lows offer a foundation from which to rebuild our lives and find wholeness. If you've been feeling anxious or out of control, know there is hope. You do not have to feel this way forever, and you certainly do not need to endure it alone. Today, I hope you find the courage to choose yourself.

Do you feel weighed down by the heaviness of different struggles, unable to experience joy, purpose, and peace from one day to the next? Do you see yourself making choices, entertaining thoughts, or habitually falling into behaviors, which do not match up with your values, beliefs, and hopes? Some seasons of life knock at our doors, introducing or reacquainting us with sources of pain that can leave us overwhelmed about navigating through unpleasant symptoms. The support that one receives from an uplifting counselor can aid with renewed vision for piloting through such seasons towards healing.

Welcome to Healing Hearts! I am a seasoned therapist certified in trauma treatment and have experience working with many different populations, backgrounds and treatment modalities. I provide a professional, confidential, caring and safe environment for patients who have a wide range of life challenges. I am licensed in Arizona and Virginia.

I believe that experiences and circumstances shape how we see the world and ourselves. Negative experiences can affect our self-esteem, relationships, feelings, and the way we problem-solve. I believe that people can grow to overcome negative experiences through understanding their past, present and future, as well as develop better awareness and coping skills. In our work, I will help you build insight into yourself, identify your strengths, heal from the past, and learn new skills. Schedule an appointment at our website WWW.HopScotchClinical.com.

Whether I am working with a small child or an adult, I believe that the healing process is a journey of returning home to the authentic self with the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle supporting the exploration. My name is Kayla and I hope to walk along with you on this path, offering compassion, co-regulation, and some neuroscience education along the way. When we can lean into the understanding of our own neurobiology and how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors have come to be, we may also begin to explore where we may have gotten stuck and how we can have a renewed access to the wisdom and assets that our bodies possess.

I am the best fit for a family who has children between the ages from birth to 24 years old. I offer support to families who are struggling with challenging behaviors from their children and adolescents in home or at school. I offer a unique systemic approach that includes parents in the treatment process that is not found in many other practices. This systemic approach is extremely affective and helps keep parents in the loop and helps families complete the treatment goal faster than other approaches. As I believe therapy for children should be brief and solution focused so they can get back to being a kid.

In this fast-paced world, many life challenges are at times more than one can handle. Whether it is processing past trauma or learning new strategies for coping with current stressors, you are taking the difficult first step. As a therapist of 20 years, I am committed to providing quality therapy to meet your needs with a personalized, solution-focused approach. I have twenty years of experience working with a variety of individuals, couples, and families of all ages. I also provide EMDR, a specialized type of trauma therapy. If you would like to know more about how we can work together, I look forward to connecting with you.

Life sometimes presents us with challenges. When we identify something in our lives that we want to change, it can be hard to cope with leaving you feeling overwhelmed. I provide a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment while exploring what lead to your life challenges. I have over 18 years of social work experience and 3 years of working in behavioral health. In my practice I use a variety of evidenced-based approaches including motivational interviewing, solution focused, person centered and cognitive behavioral therapy.

My role as your therapist is to offer compassion and a calm, safe space for healing. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based, working at your pace toward your identified goals. I focus on offering support, tools, and resources as we work together. Each client has a unique situation and services are tailored to fit those needs.
