Chronic Illness Therapists in 85718

Are you tired and overwhelmed by it all? So many expectations, the constant “pull” from every area of your life….and the world we live in just keeps giving you more than you can handle and you feel you're not good enough. You want a safe place to sort through it all, but when is there even time to go to therapy to work on all this stress? It takes courage to bear your soul to another person, to find a person you feel safe sharing your deepest thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with. Someone who is non-judgmental, empathetic, and caring. I will help you feel safe, heard, validated, and empowered to make the changes you seek out.

Sometimes our lives become so complicated and stressful that we all need an outside, non-judgmental person to help guide us back to our inner source and wisdom. My therapeutic strengths lie in my ability to create a safe and non-judgmental relationship with my clients to help them quickly identify their strengths and utilize them to problem solve and feel better. I approach all my clients with kindness and compassion, understanding that many are entering counseling for the first time or are searching for relief from stress, depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, chronic pain or illness, or many of life's difficult transitions.

Welcome! I specialize in working with teenagers and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, PTSD, stress, burnout, grief, anger, work and school challenges, ADHD, substance abuse/addiction, racial identity and chronic illness. With my background in school counseling and education, I am equipped to help parents navigate the 504 and IEP processes. I use a Person-Centered approach in my work, in addition to Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Focused Therapy, and a Strengths-Based approach.

My ideal client seeks a safe space to navigate life's challenges with empathy and guidance. They may struggle with trauma, substance use, or chronic illness, longing for relief and empowerment. They desire to heal, rebuild self-esteem, and find resilience amidst adversity. Their goal is holistic well-being, embracing growth and reclaiming joy in their journey. With tailored therapies and a strengths-based approach, I aim to support their path to healing and improved quality of life.

Crises and life transitions tend to spotlight where we need to grow. I have two typical clients. One is interested in ongoing psychotherapy and has often (though not necessarily) been in therapy before. The other is looking for shorter-term work to sort through a decision or transition. Depression, anxiety, "stuckness" or "emptiness" often inspire people to call. I work with adults of all backgrounds, but have niche experience with many chronic illnesses, including long COVID, MCAS, EDS and cancer; neurodiversity-affirming work with autism & ADHD; older adults & aging; and healthcare & mental health professionals.

As an experienced trauma therapist, I have appreciated the tenderness and importance around establishing a secure therapeutic relationship-one based upon mutual trust, consistent support and a secure base of reliable attachment. I believe that for many folks, there has been a wounding within a relationship that can begin to heal and repair when in deep connection with another who offers security, consistency, understanding and grounded emotional support. I would love to become that person for you! Together, we will create a plan unique and special for you to access feelings of peace, ease and well-being in everyday Life.

Courageous independent adults who are curious about themselves and their life/family histories are an ideal fit for my services. It takes great bravery to enter into a therapeutic connection that is bound to spark insight and awareness. Therapy is a journey with an attuned other who can help guide you through self-exploration towards growth. Clients who would benefit from working with me include those who are interested in achieving a life-work-parenting-partnering balance, one that involves mindfulness, present-focus and an emphasis on physical well being. I work with you from a place of cultural awareness and respect.

I think we can all agree that life is challenging at times, but it can be a beautiful adventure, sometimes we just need someone to help us throughout our journey of self-discovery. Our pain, although unpleasant, can be an instrument that leads to growth and healing. The fact that your reading this means you still have hope. I’m glad you made it this far because that tells me that even after all you’ve been through, you believe in the possibility of change.

Do you find yourself in the same relationship patterns over and over again? Do you feel like your past experiences are ruining your present life? Are you ready to start feeling like the person you know you really are deep down? I'm here to tell you that it is possible to have fulfilling relationships and deep, meaningful connection is within your reach.

Have you been struggling with trauma, emotional pain, thoughts of suicide, self-harm, or lack of support? Or have you experienced grief, loss, or complications in your relationships? Whether these feelings are temporary or lifelong, we do not need to continue with struggling alone. If life has been difficult or unmanageable, we can come together to find balance, understanding, and relief. In addition to therapy services, I offer Clinical Supervision to therapy licensees to guide them on their journey of licensure, providing ethical and compassionate supervision. Sessions offered in person or telehealth, weekends and evenings.

Are you feeling fearful, stuck, confused? Do you need help navigating life changes, relationship difficulties, or letting go of things that no longer serve you? Are you looking for more balance, well-being, purpose and meaning in your life? Whether you are experiencing a death, divorce, illness or other life change, reaching out and choosing to make personal change is commendable! I take a dynamic, creative and empathic approach to therapy. I aim to help you tell your "story", to become more self-aware and define your source of motivation. To guide you in identifying your strengths, make viable choices, and face change creatively.

Hi. Come talk about what matters to you most. Together, we walk. Explore. Meander. Clarify. I love what I do and will help you feel better. I can help with multicultural issues, relocation, or if you're struggling with addiction, overcoming trauma, relationships, questions about polyamory, depression or abuse. If life has lost its meaning and you’re missing adventure, intimacy, greater self-expression and passion, let’s go. If you don’t talk about it, it won’t get better. I’m supportive, alternative, warm and kind. You’ll feel comfortable, and challenge thoughts and perceptions preventing you from getting out of your own way.

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.

Gloria C. Mathiesen, MA, LMT, LPC, C-DBT, ERYT-500, Certified Aromatherapist, Usui Reiki Master/Teacher. I am only available virtually through the platform ZOOM. Big or small, trauma is trauma, it is something that I enjoy helping people navigate through and come out of. Your story is important, and it is an honor when you share it with me. I am a big fan of Internal Family Systems Theory and integrate it with all other aspects of our work together. I believe we all share an internal world of "protective parts" and through them we can begin the healing process.

I work with adults, teens, and children. I specialize in attachment repair and healing trauma (emotional, physical, sexual, car accidents, and medical trauma) from the nervous system.

I can help you solve problems and achieve the quality of life and love you want. I am able to find solutions to a pressing crisis (for example, an ongoing or just discovered affair), as well as do in-depth psychotherapy. I have a 98% success rate with couples, including those in which there has been an affair. Whatever problem you're dealing with, I will be clear, active, specific, and practical in my suggestions. I enjoy working with all ethnicities, middle-aged, elders, marriages including medical marriages. I am rated as one of the top five therapists by many agencies. Be assured I will return your call within four hours.

My passion is helping people be the best version of themselves. I want my patients to feel empowered to heal themselves over time. One of my most important roles as a psychiatrist is to instill hope for my patients. Anxiety and depression is treatable, and with alternative therapies along with medication management, we have even more options for patients who struggle. We've extended our services to all of Utah via video visits from your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Are you tired of feeling like you don't know how to manage all the things? Do you feel like you have to work twice as hard as everyone else? I understand how exhausting and overwhelming it can all be. What if I told you that finding balance is possible and that your day-to-day life doesn't have to stay this way? Whether you are a college student, a busy parent, or an overworked professional, I can help you reconnect with yourself, calm the chaos, & create balance in your daily life. Stop putting your needs on the back burner - reach out today and let's start finding balance! You deserve it.

I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, families, adolescents and children. My general areas of interest are autistic spectrum disorders, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationships, eating disorders and trauma, and obsessive compulsive problems. My experience has been that psychological change and changes in life circumstances become possible and more probable when a person understands how their mind works; how thoughts and feelings influence what happens internally and in relation to others. Therapy can help a patient obtain a greater degree of control in managing feeling states and the thoughts related to these.
