My website
I work with police officers, firefighters, and veterans who struggle to turn the job off when they get home. Chronic stress, trauma exposure, and hypervigilance can affect marriage, parenting, and daily life. Many feel irritable, reactive, emotionally shut down, or disconnected from the people they care about most. Some zone out after work and avoid interaction. They may also struggle to communicate. Many feel guilt after snapping at loved ones or being less present with their children.
I’m an LAC, NCC, and CCTS-I specializing in trauma-informed care for first responders and veterans. I use person-centered therapy, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy to help clients improve emotional regulation, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect at home. In-person in Gilbert and telehealth across Arizona.
This is a supervised private practice owned and/or managed by a master’s-level, non-independent licensee under Board-approved clinical supervision pursuant to A.A.C. R4-6-211. The Board-approved clinical supervisor of this practice is: Name: Kelly Hurley, LPC Phone: (480) 707-8172
