Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Arizona

I work from a holistic approach to life, learning, and healing; everything is connected in some way. Once you identify and master the connections that work for you, then the doing just makes sense, and you move forward with new life practices. My clients heal painful past experiences with current awareness, start trusting & caring for themselves, learn how to identify & break from toxic relationships while developing healthy ones, establish skills & routines to improve follow-through, gain emotion regulation, develop skills for problem-solving/ decision-making, and overcome harmful thoughts and behavior patterns.

This is your journey, let me be your guide to wholeness, health and peace. I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, compassion fatigue, relationship and parenting issues, spiritual conflicts, depression, and anxiety. With a holistic approach, addressing the mind, body and spirit, our goal will always be to heal the way you want to heal. I will also make it my priority to create a safe and nonjudgmental place for you to address any issues.

I will show up for you non-judgmentally and empathetically.

Trying to connect with my partner, but no matter how hard I try, I can't. What is this wall between us? I walk into the room and the phone screen is swiped, computer screen closed. My mind fights “Is it my imagination? Am I too sensitive?”. Then, the uncomfortable heavy feeling takes over and I feel blind-sighted. Betrayal. Lies. The world seems to spin. The ground falls out from under me.  No longer in control of emotions. Life is a raging storm. I react intensely, instead of responding. Overcome by a short temper, crying, screaming, or rocking back and forth. Chaos has become the norm and I am lost. How do I face this storm?

Hey there! Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges?

Hi and Welcome. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker with a passion for working with teenagers and adults of all backgrounds. I have over five years of experience working with clients who have anxiety, depression, substance addiction, trauma, PTSD, low self-esteem, co-dependency, relationship issues, stress and life transitions. I have previous work experience in community mental health agencies.

You may feel stuck, lost, hopeless, ashamed, alone. The worst thing in the world may have happened to you, recently, or 30 years ago. You may be struggling with addictions, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, OCD, hopelessness, disconnection, loneliness, shame, overwhelm, stagnation, or burnout. Whatever it is, you know that you want to experience life differently, but it seems impossible to get there.... and this is where I come in. I approach my work from the lens that our "symptoms" often result from trauma, and that trauma lives in our whole beings - our bodies, brains, nervous systems, breath, and spirit.

My passion is to help men understand what they want from life and to address what is getting in the way. Issues that get in the way include addictions of all kinds, depression, anxiety, and anger. Perhaps a partner is unhappy and suggests change needs to happen and soon, or else. Asking for help is often the most difficult decision for men to make. The pain and fear we feel tells us something is wrong. But if we ask for help what does it say about us? Shouldn't we be able to handle this on our own? The most courageous thing you can do is to reach out to and ask for help. I am offering that help. No Judgement.

Mental health is fluid, I work to address the current symptoms you're experiencing with humor and acceptance. Being compassionate and authentic to help you process generational trauma and symptoms associated with PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, depression or general life transitions causing impairment. Working together we will create an individualized treatment plan to fit your current needs and concerns.

My approach is deeply person-centered, focusing on building resilience and empowering individuals on their ever evolving journey of self discovery to navigate life’s challenges. My background is rooted in community based services, and for the last four years I have worked with survivors of domestic abuse, individuals in crisis and children ages 3+ in various settings. I am a proud feminist and my work is centered around the recognition and subsequent destructing of the harsh systemic realities we find ourselves in. I am here to be your staunch advocate, encourager, and counsel. Together we will learn, unlearn, and grow as necessary.

Are you hurt and angry about the DISCOVERY or DISCLOSURE of your partner's or spouse's SEXUAL SECRETS? Have some of the things you once trusted and relied upon in life later proven to be false or been buried beneath layers and layers of deception? Do you know the experience of wanting stability as you attempt to stand on the shifting sands of overwhelming uncertainty? Your distress is valid and what you're feeling is quite normal, and yet it's all incredibly disconcerting. Fortunately, you do have someone to talk to. I'll listen, answer your questions, and help guide you through this difficult time. I hope you'll give me a call!

If you are tired of getting the same results and feel stuck, it is time to let go of self-limiting beliefs and old hurts and start living the next phase of your life. Are you ready to create something better for yourself? Don't let past hurts, trauma, or old beliefs hold you back and dictate your life anymore. You can free yourself from the past and live a new, fulfilling authentic life. Book your session and get started today at www.dalenawatson.com
