Therapists in Camelback East, Phoenix, AZ

As a psychologist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and help you find ways to be your best self. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can use them to better understand and resolve the current challenges in your life. By working collaboratively, we will work to adjust behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Reaching out for support can be difficult. Often when we finally decide to reach out we are already experiencing overwhelm and feeling discouraged. Maybe you are experiencing anxiety, having difficulty sleeping, being more irritable than usual, or having difficulty enjoying things in your day to day life. If you've experienced trauma you could be struggling with flashbacks, fear, avoidance, and difficulty moving forward in you life. Maybe your child or teen is having new behaviors, tantrums, isolation, or difficulty with connection. I am here for all of you and will stand with you on your healing journey.

If you’re trying to figure out ways to deal with the increased anxiety and/or depression related to the changes you are facing at this time there is therapeutic support available to you. Often times we experience transitions in life and need help through it; help is just a click or phone call away. You want to feel better and perhaps need skills to assist you as well as a therapist who truly care’s about you and your goals. If you are a parent experiencing challenges with your teen’s behavior and would like to improve your relationship through therapy; I can support you and your teen’s goals. Reach out today for a free consultation.

I am a Licensed Associate Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapist. My passion has always been helping clients become the best version of themselves. I have been in the behavioral health field for over 10 years in therapy and case management roles, and I have found that you know what works for you; I am here to support you in expanding what else is needed to help build those relationships into postive supports and a peaceful, and rewarding life; not just manageable.

Hi! I’m Sammy and I'm an openly queer therapist who is passionate about supporting the LGBTQ+ community. I offer virtual therapy services for individuals ages 18 and older. My primary passion and area of advanced training as a therapist is LGBTQ+ care, including a variety of related topics such as identity clarification, gender dysphoria, minority stress, intersectionality, coming out, navigating relationships, processing trauma, reducing shame, and fostering self-love. I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) but I am trained in a variety of other modalities which I can use to adapt to each client’s individual needs.

Licensed in AZ and CO. TeleHealth appts available for Colorado based clients. TeleHealth and In-Person available for Arizona based clients. I am deeply passionate about working with emerging LGBTQ+ adults who are questioning or integrating their identities and sexualities. I work with young and helping professionals who feel stuck in their job, are questioning their career path, or who may love their career but feel paralyzed by anxiety or fear of not being enough. Most importantly, I work with you. I strive to create a space and path forward that feels uniquely tailored for you.

At times we are faced with circumstances that feel painful & unfair. You have grief over the loss of an important person, yet others tell you, “it was their time” instead of offering condolences. You’re grieving the loss of a loved pet and people say, “it’s just a cat” or “you can always get another dog” completely dismissing the relationship you had with your companion. If you have been through trauma, you can begin to question everything you once believed in, trying to make sense of your world. We all need support to grow through what we go through. My role can be to walk the journey with you so that you don’t have to go it alone.

Congratulations on finding yourself here! I believe in your ability to heal yourself and be happy. I will work with you to help you make lasting improvements that lead to increased happiness and calm, and a sense of purpose and belonging. Becoming the authentic version of yourself is freeing and you are worth it! I am honored to partner with you as you discover a deeper sense of self. Prior to becoming a counselor, I worked with young adults in higher education and I've worked a middle school counselor in the Paradise Valley Unified School District; I have experience with adolescents through adults.

I enjoy doing all types of therapy for all different issues to include depression, anxiety, addiction/substance use and abuse, health and wellness, grief, trauma, parental alienation, developmental challenges, autism spectrum disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, codependency, work stress and relationship conflict. I work with people to identify treatment goals and create a treatment regimen that fits their needs which includes psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, behavior modification, interpersonal therapy, sport psychology and coaching.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I enjoy working within the family dynamic. My passion is helping couples through transitions, relational issues, parenting and marital/couple conflict. I also work with clients on an individual basis who are struggling in their personal lives with problems such as anxiety and depression. My experience includes working with teenagers, young adults, adults and the wise.

Change is hard. I respect your right to CHOOSE support. I believe you want to improve your life. I provide you with tangible methods to help you achieve realistic goals. I support you with positive encouragement instead of guilt or shame. I am here to help you help yourself.

Seeking a therapist can be an unsettling endeavor. I can provide a free 10-minute phone consultation to help you determine whether or not we are a good fit. As your therapist, I bring a whole-person approach to healing the past and maximizing the present. My approach is an eclectic one and with over 30 years counseling experience, my "toolbox" is "well-stocked". We all have our own intuitive wisdom to guide us but we may need help in learning how to hear and honor these messages. I am confident that we can work collaboratively to create the life that you desire.

I am currently only accepting clients for online therapy! You are the greatest project you will ever work on. Often times we make ourselves the last priority, but when you take the time to fill your own cup and heal from hurt and trauma, you free yourself up to experience peace. I am passionate about working with individuals & couples and creating a safe space for clients to be transparent and culture an environment for personal growth. I use an eclectic therapeutic approach to therapy including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

Weekend and afternoon/evening appointments. I offer family and individual therapy for children ages 2 to 12 using child-friendly tools: Play therapy, Sand Tray, Expressive Arts, EMDR, Somatic Therapy. Rhythmic Movement and Mindfulness training. Whether you are seeking help for common childhood concerns, learning, and attention problems, or more traumatic life events, my playful approach will help your child connect emotionally, learn new behaviors, communicate and navigate through times of change.

I do well with individuals who are wanting more freedom and satisfaction in their lives. I know that most people do not know what to do or what is causing the pain in their lives. People need someone they feel comfortable with to assist them in identifying what is the cause of their suffering. I know how confusing and hopeless it can be to try to figure out what is wrong and how to "fix it". I provide a safe, comfortable environment where individuals can learn the skills necessary to transform patterns of confusion and suffering to peace and contentment.

I am Clinical Mental Health Psychotherapist that specializes in working with adults struggling from behavioral & emotional issues including; mood challenges, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, & trauma. I am an Advanced EMDRIA trained, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) provider. I enjoy working with individuals who want to improve their communication, self-worth, self-esteem, & rid behavior patterns that no longer serve them. I believe that every individual is entitled to deep emotional connections with self & others, & I enjoy fostering individuals in achieving their full potential.

Humans are by nature social animals and yet many of us have lost connection within ourselves and our community. I believe this is due, in part, to a frantic world that has led to relational trauma, a poor sense of self, health challenges, addiction, loss and isolation. Feeling relevant, finding meaning, having a mission, knowing joy and learning emotional regulation/tolerance/resiliency are ways in which we can heal ourselves and the world at large. I work with individuals (adults only) and couples.

It is my aim, through counseling to help you heal and grow. Whether you are struggling with social anxiety, depression, disordered eating, or trauma you deserve growth, education, and recovery. I am a firm believer that recovery takes a special kind of person willing to do the difficult work to get to a fulfilling life. Therapy is meant to be validating, affirming and challenging. I have in person appointments available. I am no longer accepting adolescent clients. I have experience working in all levels of care for eating disorders (IP, RTC, PHP, IOP and OP). I work Tuesday-Friday. I want to help you heal and thrive.

I believe the therapeutic relationship can serve a healing role in a person’s life. I utilize an interactive, person-centered approach. This approach is non-judgmental, warm and based in the belief that each person has resilience and strength. I was educated and worked for many years in NYC where I gained extensive experience providing therapy to a wide variety of individuals, especially women, young adults, and individuals who identify as LGBTQ + . I also have extensive experience with counseling patients around issues of depression, anxiety, grief, and relationship difficulties.
