Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Arizona

Welcome! I approach therapy with compassion, empathy, and a solution-oriented mindset. My specialized interests and focus are in body image and disordered eating, self-esteem, OCD, life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, and family issues. I have experience within community mental health agencies, traditional outpatient settings, integrated healthcare and on college campuses. I believe that by providing a safe and non-judgmental space I support clients in gaining the courage to build confidence in themselves and their abilities to succeed.

I enjoy working with people from a variety of cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds. Women's issues have been a focus for me, especially related to harassment, abuse, unhealthy relationships, domestic violence, low self-esteem, and excess stress. My work with clients who have disabilities and those who are dealing with social and work-related stigma is very important to me also. These individuals need to be heard, validated and provided with assistance in getting past anger, shame, guilt, sadness, and confusion.

**Now Accepting New Clients** I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, providing services to Adolescents, Adults, Couples and Families. I have experience working with diverse populations in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I believe gaining the tools to manage daily life stressors is equally as important as the work in other areas of mental health. My specialties include Perinatal mood & anxiety disorders, Grief/Loss, Trauma and Women's Issues.

It's nice to meet you! As a Licensed Professional Counselor at Gilbert Counselors LLC, I draw equally from my professional training and the insights I've gained throughout my 30+ year marriage and experiences raising two now-grown children. I think most of us would agree that we're living in challenging times. Many of us feel anxious and pessimistic about the future. We may feel unable to draw pleasure and comfort from our most important relationships or stuck in destructive patterns we believe we're powerless to change. Some of us are facing difficult life transitions or overpowering feelings of loneliness and isolation.

The pregnant and postpartum periods are life changing and can be beautiful. However, they are also incredibly complex, can extend well beyond the first year after birth, and can present challenges that are different from anything else. The symptoms and diagnoses that accompany this life stage are unique, but entirely curable with help from a specially trained therapist. My specialty is perinatal (“around birth,” or the pregnant and postpartum periods) mental health, which includes perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), perinatal grief and loss, and birth trauma.

My ideal client is someone navigating life's challenges with openness to growth. They may struggle with depression, grief, or substance use, seeking support to navigate these complexities. They crave understanding, guidance, and empowerment to harness their strengths and improve their well-being. They want to feel validated, heard, and capable of achieving personal growth and fulfillment. By collaborating and exploring their unique journey together, we can cultivate resilience, purpose, and meaningful connections.

It takes time to pick up the pieces. Parts of you may feel broken, paralyzed, and unheard. With intergenerational systems of dysfunction, very few of us grew up with anything approaching healthy relating. As mammals, we can use the natural force towards connection along with regulating our autonomic fitness to return to our joyful and intuitive self. I can help adults and teens create movement in the isolated "stuck places" and integrate unprocessed pain and suffering. I am passionate about serving children who also highly benefit from therapy by communicating their inner world through play.

Life is full of challenges and sometimes overwhelming. Everything a person experiences creates an image of how one views oneself, others, and the world. Bonnie believes that everyone has the power within oneself to live a productive, meaningful life, full of purpose and peace.

I believe individuals have enormous potential to improve their lives, manage their difficulties, and heal themselves. My goal is to help them become aware of their inner strength through a process of examining their thoughts and feelings.

As a therapist, I specialize in working with survivors of domestic, intimate partner, and sexual violence, as well as those experiencing challenges with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and racial identity. My extensive experience in the criminal justice system and crisis intervention has deepened my awareness and application of behavioral health resources and trauma informed care. The incredible courage behind asking for help is what drives my passion within this type of work.

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has over 10 years experience in treating patients and clinicians with depression and anxiety. I also understand the stress of being a person of color living in a difficult world. I am also a registered yoga and mindfulness teacher which allows me to combine evidenced-based treatment and holistic practices to reduce symptoms and increase well-being.

Pain from the past or fear about the future might make it difficult to enjoy the present. If this describes you or a teen you care about, I want you to know there is hope. My name is Kerrey, and I'm glad you found my bio. I enjoy working with teenagers and adults who are striving to be their best selves. I practice therapy at Choose Health and Happiness Counseling in a comfortable, inviting space at the Scottsdale location on Shea Boulevard. Your story, your pain, and your collection of difficulties are unique to you. There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy.

I provide both counseling and astrology services, integrating 40 years experience of astrology into my counseling practice. 20 years of counseling experience involves guiding and supporting others through relationship concerns, family issues, anxiety, depression, sleep problems & women's health (sexual, physical, emotional.) I use CBT, psychodynamic, solution focused and emotionally focused modalities to help the client feel confident and secure in their positive coping skills. I also use mindfulness techniques and encourage the client to approach life holistically (mind, body, spirit) to obtain optimum goals of peace and happiness.

If you are looking for less "psychobabble," more skill-building, a safe space to explore your concerns and goals, a non-judgmental and inclusive environment, and a warm, sincere, and practical approach to growth and problem-solving, I can help. My clients experience relief from depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, childhood and other life traumas, teen struggles, and difficult life transitions (divorce, health diagnoses, parenting/maternal mental health) through talk therapy, mindfulness practices, action steps, and hypnotherapy.
