Therapists in Gilbert, AZ

Whether you are searching for help for yourself or a loved one, I know that this is a difficult time for you. My hope is to be of service to you and your family. My name is Dr. Ilana Halina Oren and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist as well as Certified Hypnotherapist. I have been working with individuals, couples and families for over 30 years. I offer individual and couple therapy to teenagers and adults.My goal is to help my clients increase resilience, overcome their challenges and foster the belief that they deserve to be their best.

I take clients from all different backgrounds and presenting problems. Most of my clients have complex problems that start as internal struggles from depression, poor mood regulation, anxiety, racing thoughts, over-active anger, poor self-esteem, and judgment of self and others. These issues turn into interpersonal and relational problems that create felt chaos and cyclically feed those internal struggles. Clients often come in focusing on the outside chaos and miss the internal factors.

I have been in the counseling field for 25 years. I have extensive experience assisting clients who are experiencing emotional pain, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles and other personal challenges. My goal is to provide a safe, respectful environment where clients can examine their challenges and rediscover their strengths. I recognize that the first step to seek a therapist takes courage. My therapeutic style is direct but supportive. I recognize that every client's experience is unique. My therapeutic approach is tailored to address their specific concerns, navigate “next steps” and move toward long term solutions.

I have been a therapist since 1978. I taught undergraduate and graduate Psychology courses at Ottawa University (11 years) and Rio Salado College (17 years).I specialize in OCD and obsessive sexual behaviors but have treated nearly every type of client and diagnosis over the past four decades. I'm told I'm personable and that people feel comfortable with me immediately. I'm a good nonjudgmental listener and I believe that counseling should be a deep but intriguing investigation - not a painful one.

Lying awake with your back toward your spouse, hurting again. Your mind racing, blaming your partner for all the problems in the relationship. The thought comes to mind, “The argument was days ago, why can’t we talk?” You’ve tried things before, but only for a short time. The self doubt creeps in, shame, loneliness, sadness, guilt. What happened to the joyful days of the beginning? Life. Life got in the way and took you both by storm. Now, you feel as though you no longer know your spouse, and he/she doesn’t really know you. Before you finally drift off to sleep one last thought crosses your mind, “I want to make this work.”

The journey toward one's best self can be challenging! I partner with my clients to address specific needs of the individual in a safe environment. It has been my experience that behavior that is not helpful or skills that are not useful are the result of adaptation. Simply put, we do what we can with what we know! People come to counseling because the tools they are currently using are no longer working. I recognize that the client is the true expert in his or her own life and empower the individual with a strength-based approach to therapy.

I help couples of all types heal, strengthen and enhance their relationships. By creating a warm and inviting environment through respect, humor and authentic relational connection, couples feel safe and welcome. This allows me to provide support for partners that feel lost or disconnected in their relationship and want to rediscover the love they have for each other. Feeling disconnected from our partner can cause emotional disharmony, which can greatly impact other areas of the relationship including intimacy, finances, and communication. ---------------------THERE IS HOPE!----------------------

Is your sex life satisfying? Do you enjoy a safe, loving and affirmative connection with your partner, or are you feeling stuck in a relationship that seems to have lost its physical and emotional spark? Perhaps you are wondering how it is that the two of you are living life like roommates instead of romantic lovers. My name is Susan Schneider, and as your sex and relationship therapist, I will come alongside you and share in your unique story, providing a safe place where you will be welcomed with courage, compassion and respect.

Do you find yourself getting stuck in patterns, having the same fights with your partner over and over? Do you sometimes feel alone in your relationship or like you've become more like roommates than lovers? These feelings can be discouraging and isolating, but you are not alone. I empower partners to navigate these common challenges in a way that gets to the heart of the matter. Together we work to co-create a new experience of each other, with more authenticity and intimacy. You are capable of achieving what we all want and need- to love and be loved, to experience joy and connection, and to live a life with purpose and meaning.

I received my Master's Degree in Direct Practice Social Work from Arizona State University with an emphasis on children and families. I am currently one of many counselors working at Arizona Family Institute. I have had many valuable experiences in working with individuals addressing crisis, abuse, depression, anxiety, tension, neglect, adjustment, addiction, and especially trauma.

This crazy and challenging time we find ourselves in may seem overwhelming and too much at times. Life is not often fair and comes complete with complex issues. I desire to hear your story and come alongside you to develop the skills necessary to overcome adversity in your life. I employ psychological assessments and depending on the situation different clinical interventions in assisting my clients. I have found success with clients through the use of cognitive behavioral therapy along with dialectical behavior therapy, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, internal family systems, and person-centered approaches.

Currently Accepting new clients- I have a passion for helping people work through life’s challenges. It is my belief that our physical and mental health are improved when we have close, healthy, and supportive relationships in our lives. I love to laugh and feel humor is a great tool to deal with life's challenges. I genuinely enjoy connecting with people and feel honored to walk along them in their process of transforming their challenges into resilience.

You're probably reading this because you are hurting in some way and struggling to know how to make things better. You don't have to struggle alone. I work with individuals and couples as a collaborative yet directive ally to help them move from heartbreak to healing using evidence based practices such as Emotionally Focused Couples and Individual Therapy (EFT, EFIT) and EMDR. I bring warmth, humor, direction, and accountability to some of the hardest issues such as Infidelity, infertility, sexual trauma, crisis, grief, parenting children of disability, chronic illness, or relationships where Neurodiversity is present. (ADHD, ASD)

As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist I have helped couples and families work through various relational & emotional intimacy challenges. I am also a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. I work significantly with males struggling with sexually compulsive behaviors along with the spouses, partners, families and others impacted by their unhealthy and/or problematic choices. I have been described as a 'Perspectivist Therapist' due to my clear, honest, open, respectful and direct ability to help people gain perspective about their problems, increase hopeful belief for their future and establish realistic expectations.

I provide a supportive, compassionate, collaborative and non-judgmental environment. Your comfort and trust are the most important aspects to your success. Whether you are having challenges at home, school, or work, we can design a plan that will help you make positive changes in your life.

I have a PhD and almost 30 yrs experience working with clients. I have advanced training in EFT and Gottman Therapy. I also draw on 35 yrs of experience being married. All couples have conflicts. The difference is happy couples have a way to resolve and repair issues. I specialize in helping couples develop that repair process. When many couples argue they end up feeling more frustrated, distant, and dissatisfied in their relationship instead of feeling close and connected. Eventually they stop talking to avoid fighting and grow apart. I help couples who are stuck find a way to experience the love and closeness they desire.
