Child Therapists in Arizona
I have experience providing therapy to children and teens (ages 12-18), families, and young adults facing challenges like self-doubt, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms.
I know that seeking support can feel overwhelming and even intimidating. It's okay to feel that way, and I'm here to offer a safe space for you. Together, we can explore the challenges you’re facing—whether you're feeling stuck, grappling with difficult emotions, or trying to find your authentic self. My goal is to support you in building self-esteem, managing anxiety and depression, enhancing your relationships, and navigating life’s changes. You don’t have to face this alone; I’m honored to be part of your path toward healing.

Hi! I’m Tanya, and I and a part of the Help and Hope Counseling team. I am here to listen. Having been on my own personal journey towards healing, from a young age I was curious about how to help people live their best lives. I love to meet people where they are in their journey and walk alongside them to where they want to be. Deep down, we are all looking for connection and understanding. As we move through life, we inevitably encounter situations and events that make us feel isolated and alone. My purpose is to cultivate a therapeutic experience in-person or via telehealth that is collaborative, comfortable, and offers hope.

Newly approved ESA provider! You may be here because your child is having a hard time focusing, or because they are anxious and easily upset. Sometimes your young child has an outburst, and you find it hard to manage. Or, maybe you find it difficult for your child to follow directions or get along with others. Perhaps your child has been through something traumatic and stressful, and you’re not sure how to help them along their healing process. They could be a child who doesn’t know what to do with their big feelings and need a little extra help coping. I am here to help you find peace and balance.

My practice is based upon over ten years experience working with adults, children and families.
At times the challenges we are presented with can be painfully overwhelming. Some of our choices and habits along with our need for companionship affect our judgment. Indecisiveness and complacency can manifest as unsatisfying patterns of behavior or disheartening relationships. I believe it is possible to create meaningful changes, to be the person you want to be and live a happy, fulfilling life. For young client's fun and play are important. Incorporating creative, expressive art and play therapy interventions is my specialty. This is a great way to connect with children and teens unresponsive to traditional forms of therapy.

This call is free and is helpful in deciding if I may be a good fit for you and your child's needs.
I have worked with kids and their families for over 25 years. My favorite children and teens are strong willed, capable, and smart (academic and/or common sense). I see kids ranging from 3 year old to college students. Some of the most common issues that I work with are ADD/ADHD, Oppositional/Defiant, Depression, Anxiety and Bipolar Disorders. Other general issues are poor social skills, difficulty with frustration, poor communication skills and parent- child conflict. Because so many of the families that I see are struggling with how get along easily, I prefer to include parents whenever possible.
