Desert Mountain Counseling LLC is a small group practice of trauma-informed therapists who provide effective evidenced based cognitive behavioral therapy to resolve or manage symptoms related to anxiety, trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, disordered eating, body image distress, ADHD, Autism, grief/loss, substance abuse, immigration, and relationship issues. Alison and Suzanne are also certified Intuitive Eating Counselors. We are validating and affirming and, as social workers, we are social justice oriented. We provide telehealth therapy for clients in AZ and have an office in Tucson.
Suzanne Perkins, LCSW Owner, Clinical Supervisor
We are a small group practice under the clinical supervision of Suzanne Perkins, LCSW. Suzanne worked for over 23 years at the VA before moving to full time private practice in 2021. We provide evidenced based therapy including ERP and I-CBT for OCD, EMDR, Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy, CBT for Insomnia, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
It takes courage to reach out for help and overcome stigma or invalidation from others to prioritize your needs and engage in therapy. Therapy is often a last resort as people struggle to imagine where to start or how they will ever trust a stranger. We look forward to establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship to meet your therapy goals.
