Aetna Therapists in Chandler, AZ

Anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, trauma—it's all hard, and each challenge is different, so an ideal client is someone who is ready to work on their goals. I enjoy helping clients work through whatever concern or crisis they have. Being able to watch as someone makes the connections or meets a goal is always rewarding and the best part of the job.

I chose to become a therapist after doing social work with children and families. Witnessing the trauma and the way that trauma impacted those individual lives caused me to develop an interest in and concern for individuals struggling with CPTSD, PTSD and childhood trauma. I have always enjoyed listening to people's stories and making a genuine connection. I believe in the healing power of therapy and the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I believe in the importance of active listening and making you feel truly heard, cared about, safe, and understood. The majority of my experience is as a child and family therapist.

Therapy is an intimate process; revealing feelings might feel scary and uncomfortable.

I’m certified by the National Board for Certified Counselors NBCC.

Patients I've treated need help in their suffering. Life has become so overwhelmingly helpless and stressful that they break. They suffer with anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, fear, anger, depression, grief, fracture of reality, marital and relationship issues, and suicidal ideations. They want peace. They want someone who cares and can give them hope there are better days ahead. My patients want someone who can relate and understand what they're going through. They want someone they can trust and is knowledgeable and able to help. They are tired of running in circles and hearing the same thing over and over with no results.

Not Currently Accepting New Clients... I am the Clinical Director and Founder at Center for Compassion. Have you experienced trauma, grief, or loss? Perhaps now you are feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and misunderstood? Or, you may be struggling with anxiety and stress, and have difficulty simply making it through each day. You do not have to walk this journey alone. At Center for Compassion, we help our clients survive their most painful moments and find meaning in their lives again. Here your pain will be heard and held. With time and kindness, the world may begin to unfold with glimpses of beauty.

My passion is helping people improve their ability to experience emotions in a healthy way so that they can be the best versions of themselves. We will work together to resolve issues with trauma, anxiety, anger, addiction or feeling stuck in life. You may have tried making changes to feel better or be more positive, but despite your best efforts something is holding you back. You may have instinctual response patterns that are working against you. That's not you, that's survival mode. I will help reduce the struggle by teaching you how to "rewire" your nervous system so that it works with you, allowing you to be the real you.

Are you having difficulty navigating life's challenges and finding a way back to thriving rather than surviving? I can help. My approach comes from empowering people to see the strength and capabilities within themselves. My experience in counseling includes working with adults and couples struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction, codependency, grief and loss, relationship issues, infidelity, narcissistic abuse, sexual abuse, and trauma. My style can be defined as warm, supportive, and positive allowing for a safe and therapeutic environment.

Welcome, to counseling! I am a Licensed Associate Counselor and Julia Spain, LPC, owner of Core Balance Counseling, is my Clinical Supervisor. I believe the first meeting between the client and the counselor is the beginning of what should evolve into a strong and trusting relationship. Coming into counseling for the first time, can be scary for anyone. The relationship needs to be fostered with honesty and trust, supported with both parties working hard to help the client meet the intended goals. Offering compassion, empathy, a safe and non-judgmental space, my clients are my primary focus. I look forward to working with you.
