Therapists in Tucson, AZ

I have had the pleasure of working as a therapist for over 10 years and look forward to discussing ways to support you.

My primary focus is emotional health and well-being by utilizing the Whole Person Concept. This enables clients to make great stride in personal transformation and gains in self-esteem, improvement in the quality of their life at work, in intimate relationships and with family, friends and overcome social anxiety. By utilizing the bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach and traditional cognitive behavioral therapy in helping to reframe the presenting problem, we discover new possibilities to cope with life stressors. This process may include Jungian psychology, dream analysis, creative visualization, mindfulness meditation and Art.

Throughout our clinical experience at Better Lives Building Tribes (BLBT), we have learned that people are learning the most about themselves through their interactions with other people. But interactions with other people are complicated and people often need help navigating conflict, conflict resolution, and setting boundaries amidst already struggling self-esteem and self-worth. How we feel about ourselves has everything to do with our ability to defend ourselves, verbalize our own needs, and come up with creative solutions to our interpersonal hurdles. If you find yourself having difficulties with others, we are here to help.

Life doesn't always go the way we envisioned it would. Sometimes we can handle life's curveballs, but sometimes we need some guidance to do so. Whether relationships aren't going as planned, our job isn't as fulfilling as it was, communication in relationships isn't working, or something inside of us doesn't feel quite right, a therapist can help guide us through the issues that are keeping us from living the life we want. Therapy can help with a wide range of issues like trauma, anxiety, depression, career problems, family/relationship problems, communication issues, and many more. It's never too late to have the life we want!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, working with clients of all ages. I have 15 years experience with children, adults, and families in multiple settings, including a residential treatment center, outpatient agency, group home setting, and drop-in care center with adults diagnosed with severe mental illness. My training and work experience has been in multiple states, including Illinois, Missouri, New York, and Arizona. My post-Masters training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Living Therapy, Love and Logic parenting, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

My goal is to empower you to overcome obstacles, shed limiting beliefs, and cultivate a revitalized and fulfilled version of yourself. I can help you to shift negative perceptions; shaping the life you desire, and igniting a renewed sense of purpose.

Healing is always possible. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help. I am here to support you in your healing journey and meet you wherever you are in your process. My approach is to help my clients improve their self-awareness, identify coping skills, and increase their natural supports. Once they are ready, I help them identify and heal the source of their distress. Often times, our distress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles come from deep rooted wounds that need to be healed. My preferred modalities are EMDR, hypnotherapy, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Hello! My name is Melissa Richmond. I am a Certified Life Coach, and Masters Level Counselor based in Tucson, Arizona. My strength base, holistic counseling and mindfulness practices, brings clarity, direction, and positive support for my clients. I help my clients live their best life, by filling the gap between where they are now, and where they want to be. By identifying where growth is most wanted, setting goals and objectives, and holding accountability, clients will reach their highest goals and dreams. I am trained in helping people find themselves, find direction, and true happiness in all aspects of their lives.

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.

Navigating through changes and transitions can be challenging and alienating. I offer a new perspective and a helpful therapeutic partnership. I feel it is a true privilege to be part of one's healing journey. My practice is inspired by Person Centered Therapy and a diverse study of methods ranging from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance, Commitment, and strengths-based therapy. I believe that no two clients are the same, and that a practice must be an individualized collaboration based on mutual authenticity and honesty. These are among the compassionate qualities which allow for a genuine therapeutic alliance.

Are you feeling stuck, alone, lonely or unsupported? Struggling to process emotions, navigate challenging relationships, or learn healthy boundaries? Are you looking for online counseling?

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. We believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

I support individuals and couples who are struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body image concerns, and other mood disorders to arrive at long-term, sustainable solutions. Years of experience and varied theoretical approaches address root-causes that drive your distress. In a safe, compassionate environment, you can explore your questions, concerns, fears, and goals. I devote attention, energy, expertise, humor and best recommendations to help you discover what you need to move forward. I work with English and Spanish speakers and all religions and backgrounds, including the LDS community.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by or disconnected to the world and people around you? Do you feel restricted by negative thought cycles, patterns of behavior, or habits that no longer serve you? Are you ready to examine past trauma and how it affects who you have become? Are you looking for skills to process big emotions? Are you ready to sit down and have tea with your inner critics and maybe make friends? If any of these questions strike a chord in your soul and you are ready to address them, I am here to help!

Hi. Come talk about what matters to you most. Together, we walk. Explore. Meander. Clarify. I love what I do and will help you feel better. I can help with multicultural issues, relocation, or if you're struggling with addiction, overcoming trauma, relationships, questions about polyamory, depression or abuse. If life has lost its meaning and you’re missing adventure, intimacy, greater self-expression and passion, let’s go. If you don’t talk about it, it won’t get better. I’m supportive, alternative, warm and kind. You’ll feel comfortable, and challenge thoughts and perceptions preventing you from getting out of your own way.
