As an autistic person herself, Melissa is passionate about working with neurodivergent individuals and operates from a neuroaffirmative lens. Melissa prioritizes collaboration in the therapeutic process, believing that each person is the expert of their life–every person is different, with a unique set of lived experiences, identities, and perspectives, so she believes that treatment should be unique to each person, too. Treatment involves community and self-advocacy, incorporating intersectional cultural identities, supporting clients’ personal treatment goals, fostering self-compassion, and building community support.

Hello my name is Brooke! I primarily work with children, teens, and young adults, addressing ADHD, Autism, Giftedness, Parenting, Parent-Child Relationships, Identity Issues, Self-Esteem, Anxiety, and Depression. I have a passion for working with individuals that feel misunderstood. I believe that at the root of feeling misunderstood lies a disconnect within ourselves that creates a disconnect with our outer world. We often engage in the act of "comparing ourselves," as it's hard not to! As a therapist, I love guiding my clients to look inward and witness them realize, "I am my best thing."

I specialize in anger management, men's issues, and ADHD. A client who is looking for a sensitive yet strategic approach to these issues will likely benefit from the work we do together. During our initial session I will, as much as possible, try to understand your situation and help you set a direction so that you get get what you need from your therapeutic experience. While my specialties are those previously mentioned I also see clients for a number of other issues: relationships, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, removing blocks to creativity, and addictions.

Dr. Hall is a licensed psychologist in Central Phoenix specializing in neuropsychology and diagnosis. She sees toddlers through young adults (and their families!) for evaluations and brief therapy. Evaluations help uncover the root of an issue, and a diagnosis provides answers. Often our clients have tried a variety of therapies before coming for an evaluation to better understand what's going on. Neuropsychologists have extensive training in brain-behavior relationships and methods for better understanding individual experiences. Dr. Hall works with a team that is also available to provide direct therapy and parent training.

I have been in practice since 1997. I am Licensed Professional Counselor as well as an Advanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Certified Clinician (CBT-C) & Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) to address anxiety and depression. I believe it is the relationship with the patient and therapist which are significant to build trust and in turn facilitate change. It is important to have a treatment plan to set goals to learn healthy coping skills to address negative thought patterns. The recent years have brought such change in how we work, attend school, have relationships, and work through adversity. Therapy is key.

Is there a time in your life when you've felt alone, betrayed, unhappy or lost? Difficulties often leave us feeling helpless, isolated, and overwhelmed.

On this journey of emotional healing and recovery I love seeing the progression one experiences as they show up and commit to working through life’s difficulties. We will walk down this path together, at your pace, implementing various techniques and tools that work best for you.

Are you interested in learning why you are feeling so down? Are you looking for a therapist with a trauma-informed approach to help you process current and past struggles?

Understanding how and when to begin your therapy journey can oftentimes feel overwhelming, confusing, and even isolating at times. My hope is to support you in this process by providing clarity, insight, encouragement and guidance to make a seemingly-daunting experience feel much more comfortable, and the idea of living a happier and healthier life much more tangible. I believe that bringing about meaningful and long-lasting change must first start with a strong therapeutic connection and trusting environment and welcome my clients to collaborate in creating a solid foundation for their healing and personal growth.

I help people find relief from depression, trauma, and ADHD by helping them understand their unique story and how they have come to navigate in the world. We not only identify what isn’t working, but the why behind it. Then, I help them learn to make needed changes and to have more compassionate relationships with themselves and others. I work with those who often feel a deep sense of shame or may never have had a healthy attachment. I partner with those who feel at war with themselves and/or others and engage in negative patterns but struggle to stop it. Ultimately, I help people come home to themselves.

For adults, I provide: comprehensive neurocognitive assessments, capacity evaluations (finances, medical decisions, consent to treatment, living independently), pre-surgery evaluations (neuromodulation, bariatric, amputation), Fitness for Duty evaluations, ADHD, Autism, and psychological evaluations. For children over 6, I provide ADHD, Autism, intellectual functioning, and psychological assessments. I also provide psychotherapy for adults and couples.
