Az Young Child Counseling is a Northwest Valley group practice committed to helping young children and parents move from surviving to thriving. We serve children from birth to 12 years old. We also provide parent-only services and support in the area of perinatal mental health.

My passion is to help individuals struggling with emotional and mental health concerns find balance and peace in their lives. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental and supportive environment where my clients can feel heard and understood. My ideal clients are individual, couples, and families ready to facilitate positive change in their lives. They may be experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, or feelings of overwhelm and stress. My clients are willing to explore their thoughts and emotions in a deep and meaningful way and are open to make positive changes in their lives.

You don't have to do this alone. I have 20 years of experience dealing with issues affecting young children and their caregivers. I provide psychological assessment and treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorders (children and adults), parent/child relationship issues, abuse/trauma/neglect, and attachment/foster-care/adoption issues. All family members can receive assessment and treatment, regardless of age, in order to improve individual and family functioning, and the experience of joy. I also assess children in their school or daycare setting, and provide assistance with IEP/IFSP meetings. I use both relational and behavioral strategies for treatment.

Hi I'm Jodi! I'm so glad you're here! I'm an Arizona native with over 20 years of professional experience working with families and kids kindergarten-college. My career path has led me through schools, non-profits and beyond. Still, everything I cherish about this work comes from what I learned working at sleep-away camp... 1. Making messes teaches us how to clean up. 2. Discomfort is necessary for growth. 3. Trusting ourselves teaches us limits and shows us what we are capable of. 4. We don't get anywhere without advocating for ourselves. 5. Nothing is more delicious than grilled cheese and tomato soup.

Do you frequently feel overwhelmed, frustrated and unsatisfied? Do you find that your relationships are suffering? People are often faced with stressors related to parenting, marriage, loss and emotional overload. I understand that these things are difficult to face alone. I help people to implement practical strategies so they will start living a more satisfied life. During therapy you can expect to be validated and empowered. My goal is that everyone feels safe and encouraged. I am committed to helping you create strong and healthy relationships so that you can start living a better life.

Life can throw hardships at us, and our pain is so real and deep. My passion is to walk alongside clients through healing, gaining strength, and building resilience during tough times. I want to help individuals and families find solutions and hope for wise, healthy, and meaningful living. We will turn hardships into growth opportunities by sorting out internal and external sources of distress leading to anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. We will design an individual and family healing plan to restore freedom and peace and live out the more significant potential in life.

Resilience is adversity reframed. This statement encompasses the perspective that everyone experiences difficult times or situations, but through the storm, we can feel peace and work towards growth. Therefore, it is important that we can lean on our support systems to heal and grow from those experiences. I would be honored to be part of you or your child's journey through the storm. My hope is to help clients feel safe and accepted so they can cope with difficulties they may be struggling with.

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.

Individuals, couples and families come to me for help in identifying and overcoming the obstacles that stand between them and a more fulfilling life. I use a solution-focused approach that emphasizes harnessing the power and abilities of my clients to make changes that are necessary to achieve the goals they've identified for themselves.

Every day presents new challenges, with the added complexity of addressing behavioral challenges. In the midst of this journey, you find yourself grappling with concerns about your child's behavior, eager for solutions that go beyond the basic or surface-level and delve into a more comprehensive understanding of the challenges at hand. Right now, you're in the process of seeking a genuine understanding of behavioral principles, eager to apply this knowledge to lovingly guide and support your precious child.

Everyone’s journey in life is different. I want to create a safe place for you to express your needs and heal. My background includes working with children birth to five, adolescents, young adults, and families.

Do you want more love, joy, & success in your life? Are you a parent with a struggling child or teen? Dr. Sharonah helps people of all ages build the clarity, emotional intelligence, & ability to control what they can (& stop trying to control the impossible), so they can truly master their own abilities to feel good, love themselves & others, be who they were meant to be, & live the life they desire. She works with those who get in their own way, who are burdened by the past, who feel stuck or like they're going uphill, with parents who are uncertain how to best aid their children, & with children/teens experiencing difficulties.

I strongly believe in the importance of the family. Each individual is important in the family system and brings a different dynamic into it. I enjoy working with individuals and families: both parent/child and sibling relationships. While I am most passionate about working with individuals suffering with trauma/PTSD, anxiety/depression, the family relationship needs support as well, particularly with challenging children. Sometimes an outside perspective can help us see things differently. Challenges in a family are guaranteed, but with some encouragement and support, we can become stronger through those challenges.

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.

Do you find yourself struggling with everyday life? Do you feel depressed, discouraged, anxious, or even overwhelmed? These are issues that we all face, but few have the tools needed to overcome and move forward. With the skills and training that I have learned over the years, I have been able to help individuals meet their personal goals while overcoming hindering issues. My primary goal with each client is to establish a strong therapeutic relationship based on their unique cultural and life experiences. I enter the therapeutic journey with curiosity and strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for clients.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arizona. I work with children, adolescents, teens, individuals, couples and families. I also provide counseling services for anger management, stress management and individuals struggling with addiction. My passion is helping individuals and families find freedom from codependency, negative thinking, anxiety and depression

I am a bilingual (Spanish) therapist who specializes in working with children and families. I offer both in-office and in-home counseling because I recognize that many kids feel more comfortable in their own home than in a therapist's office. Considering the fact that I will only be involved with a family for a relatively short period of time, I use a family systems approach to therapy and I teach parents how to become therapeutic to their children.
