Substance Use Therapists in 85023

I enjoy working with people who want to grow, and who realize they need to change old ways and patterns that no longer serve them, but instead bring pain. In my practice, I've worked with people in all kinds of pain, and with all kinds of problems. I've helped people struggling with relationship problems, family issues, anxiety, depression, substance use and trauma. Over the 17 years that I've been counseling, I've learned that everyone needs to tell their story, to be heard, and understood. I've learned compassion, kindness, and non-judgement are all important in the healing process.

I believe everyone possesses the potential for personal growth. In my role as a counselor, I am dedicated to establishing a supportive and positive atmosphere where individuals can bravely confront their past and present challenges. By customizing my methods to align with the unique needs and goals of each individual, my objective is to nurture optimism for a better future. Life often brings significant obstacles, and through therapy, individuals are presented with the opportunity to begin a journey of healing that has the power to reshape their perspective and improve the quality of their thoughts.

Is your anxiety or panic out of control? You can have the peace and calm you've been looking for! Are you feeling overwhelmed and depressed? You can experience the joy you've always wanted!

Hello, I personally care for my clients. I specialize in individuals and couples who suffer from past trauma that has carried over into today's relationships, addictions and substance abuse. I integrate solution based therapy, CBT therapy with a Christian worldview. I am certified in EMDR and EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy). I work with first responders, professional leadership and other high profile people in my confidential office. I am excited to be Psychology Today Verified and active within the Focus on the Family Counselors network.

For the past 14+ years I’ve worked directly with families, couples, adults, young adults and adolescent populations in inpatient, collegiate, and outpatient environments, with clinical and/or leadership experience gained at facilities including Devereux, Remuda Ranch, the Meadows, Grand Canyon University, the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, and Doorways Adolescent Clinic before moving exclusively to telehealth-only private practice. Currently I treat 18+ adults residing in Arizona or Pennsylvania.

Our practice is a communion of science and faith: the latest evidence-based psychotherapy modalities combined with ancient and medieval philosophy. we rely on the work of Greek and Roman thinkers, as well as Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Ignatius of Loyola, and others. If you are willing to put in the work, we will maximize your time to help you become more authentically YOU. No matter what you're going through, there are some things that can always help. Breathing. Grounding work. Positive self-talk. When we meet we would tailor a treatment program to meet your needs. Appointments are available days, evenings, and Saturdays.

I enjoy working with families struggling with interpersonal relationships, pre and post marital issues, communication difficulties, substance abuse, and trauma. I have experience working with individuals dealing with addictions and recovery, depression, stress, anxiety, bipolar disorder, self esteem, grief, anger management, self harming issues, and borderline personality disorder.

Most of Don's clients are people who identify as Christians who are struggling with relationship issues, life transitions, or addictions while some of them may seek only spiritual guidance and practical application. They are generally seeking someone who is extremely knowledgeable, well educated, and experienced. These are generally people who are looking for someone they can trust and confide in without the fear of being judged. They usually want help navigating life in order to experience personal healing and growth without compromising their values.
