Mental Health Care FOR and BY BIPoC and LGBQIA2S+! We're a group practice that centralizes care for LGBTQIA2S+ and Black, Brown and other People of Color. As integrative, holistic clinicians, oftentimes clients who come to us at Phoenix Rising Centers are working though life adjustments, change, and/or trauma(s). Clients are in a process of self-exploration, working to make sense of their place and identity in their respective world(s). Together, we work to discover the parts of Self that need to be witnessed, healed, released, and cleared, so they can reclaim and empower the parts that have been neglected, forgotten, or ignored.

I am committed to obtaining excellent results and my patients will attest to this. I am an EMDR clinician, consultant and trainer nationally & internationally. I am Harvard, Berkeley and Stanford educated and am a practitioner-grounded in the research and literature. My practice brings the best of EMDR, hypnosis, biofeedback and mind/body medicine and marries it with 37 yrs of deep knowledge of the healing arts. As a former dancer and performer, a staunch scientist and a student pilot, I am conversant in both the world of artistic expression and the vast domain of science.

Ultimately, my purpose as your therapist is to help you find joy in life. I use a Feminist, Attachment-based, Trauma-informed approach to empower you to trust yourself, and tap into your inner resilience. I believe that you are the expert in your own life. Together we can work to process and heal past traumas, gain insight, and replace harmful behaviors with more positive ones. I work with women and non-binary folks who have experienced relational trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and Disordered Eating. I also work with Highly Sensitive people.

I practice integrative psychotherapy, which means that I drawn an a range of approaches to meet you where you are to facilitate your unfolding process. I trust the innate wisdom of your own being to guide that process and see my role as holding up a mirror so that you can find your own way out of the places where you feel unclear or stuck.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who has been in practice for over 10 years. I completed my Clinical Internship and Post-doctoral Fellowship at the Kennedy Krieger Institute/John Hopkins University School of Medicine, and prior to that, received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University. I am passionate about working with children, teens, adults, and families experiencing a wide range of behavioral, emotional, and interpersonal issues. My approach is collaborative, research-informed, and is designed to meet the unique needs of clients.

I specialize in treating individuals struggling with trauma, identity, and relationship challenges. As an LMFT I also specialize in couples and family therapy. I use a combination of traditional analytic tools, existential psychology, and narrative therapy in order to address the depth of the person, while we work on creating your new story. I also use narrative work to directly treat trauma, PTSD, and relationship issues. Together we will manifest the change you desire in yourself and improve the depth and intimacy of your relationships.

Are you suffering from personal problems in love, work, grief or other crises? I can help you assess the situation and strategize for the outcome you desire.

For each of us, life is not without change, loss, transition, even trauma, and the emotional difficulties that result. And we heal and transform by way of supportive connection, internally, environmentally, and relationally. I am inspired by the subtle ways in which providing a safe, compassionate and nonjudgmental space allows for a client’s inner wisdom, insights, and empowerment to emerge and for life’s transitions to be eased. I work to provide a sanctuary to process, be witnessed in, and build helpful skills for dealing with loss & grief, transition, emotional distress such as anxiety and depression, and trauma.

I consider myself a Self-Healing Guide. My relationship with clients is built on respect, empathy, compassion, validation, humor and inspiration. We work Together. Much of my work is based on the knowing that you have all the answers inside yourself and my job is to help you re-learn how to access that information and heal. My job is to trust intuition and the information I receive while working with you to support you with grounded guidance & facilitation. I also offer Workshops & Retreats for women.

Are you interested in mindfulness or already have a meditation practice? My clients are often spiritually curious, fascinated by life's big questions, and willing to meditate. I support you on your journey, and we rely upon your innate tools of contemplative introspection to gain insight. My therapeutic approach focuses largely on shining the light of awareness on our thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Mindfulness helps us to catch the subtle inner-workings of mind and body. By developing awareness, and finally acceptance, of our whole life, we can ultimately find a deeper sense of purpose and more fulfilling relationships.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages from 10-99+. I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety PTSD, bi-polar 1, relationship and career difficulties, parenting challenges, gender issues. The quality of the therapeutic relationship has been shown to be the number 1 predictor of success in therapy. I see this relationship as a partnership, where you and I develop a trusting, safe space for you to work through issues that may feel overwhelming, or where you may feel stuck.

With over 30 years of experience serving as a therapist to children, adolescents and adults, I work from an integrative perspective and rely on a broad range of techniques including psychodynamic, transpersonal, somatic experiencing and family systems interventions. I often integrate traditional therapeutic approaches with coachiing techniques depending on your unique needs and goals. As a serious student of shamanism for more than 20 years, I combine these contemporary methods with ancient indigenous wisdom to support a connection to your heart, your inner wisdom, and your personal power.

After over 50 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults in settings as diverse as prison and preschool, I have come to the conclusion that the root of most psychological suffering is a discrepancy between who we really are and who we have been expected to become or expect ourselves and others to be. This discrepancy between the "Self" and the personality we develop causes immense suffering within individuals, between individuals and in the culture as a whole. My goal is to help clients find their own truth or "Self" and live their lives from that place.

I enjoy people! Helping people who are struggling with life issues such as depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, and grief is meaningful to me. After more than 25 years as a psychotherapist, I have learned to let the client(s)lead me. I believe that at the deepest level people 'know' what they need in order to achieve the healing and fullness of life they desire and deserve. My job is to help create a safe, supportive, encouraging environment in which the wholeness and change clients seek can occur.

My name is Cynthia Tobar-McCoy and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Mexico and Oklahoma. I am honored each day to walk along side individuals who choose to therapuetically journey through the path of overcoming life stressors. Stressors can come in the form of experiencing conflict in relationships with family, couples, marital and peer groups, as well as grief, trauma and suffering from posttraumatic stress. Stress can also manifest itself when working to maintain a healthy recovery plan that addresses certain medical conditions of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder.

I am a Solution Focused Therapist working with individuals and couples. I have been in practice for 28 years. In my Solution Focused approach, a person looks at the issues/areas of life that need to be changed, and what habits, behaviors, actions and choices keep perpetuating these issues in your life or relationships. We look at when these issues are resolved, what will be different? What will you notice now that these issues are no longer on the emotional property of your life? What will others notice? What has stopped you in the past?

I provide a warm, down-to-earth, and focused therapeutic environment. Within a mindfulness-based, Jungian approach, I pace our work to help build greater resilience to meet those places where you feel anxious, confused, sad, angry, disappointed or hopeless. These places need attention, care and support. Together we can unravel difficult thoughts and feelings, generate warmth where there is pain and sorrow, find emotional relief, greater well being and a renewed vitality. I specialize in grief and loss, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, dissociation and relationship issues.

My private practice is shifting away from direct service with clients and focusing on supervision for therapists and coaching and consultation with small businesses and larger healthcare organizations. I offer dynamic services, while also providing a psycho-educational and holistic framework with encouragement toward making the necessary changes to reach your potential. My goal is to support you in regaining a greater sense of well-being and focus in your life, which often involves finding a work-life balance.
