Emotionally Focused Therapists in Coconino County, AZ

I am passionate about relationships and would love to be able to help anyone struggling in any relationship. I am currently an intern student completing my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy at National University. I implement a variety of evidence-based modalities when working with clients. I appreciate how Emotionally Focused Therapy focuses on how our early experiences inform how we engage in adult relationships (our attachment styles) and how to change the negative interactional cycle that we often find ourselves in.

I became a licensed counselor in 2012. Prior to that I was mentored by some highly-trained LMFT’s in Utah. The spark for clinical work came in 2007 while working as a Case Manager at a Residential Treatment Center for teens in beautiful St George, Utah. I guess I was destined for the desert and never knew it. I’ve had two beautiful children since then— who are my world. I’ve worked in private practice, outpatient and inpatient at several phoenix hospitals, outpatient clinic, directed the Intake Department at Haven Behavioral Health Hospital, and managed mental health intake at the State Prison Complex in Phoenix.

Seeking out therapy can feel scary, but I am here to give you a safe place that is non-judgmental, empathetic, and supportive to take a courageous step in your journey to a fuller life. As a therapist, it is my pleasure to help you find peace and discover a better life with deeper insight, self-awareness, and personal growth.

Yá'át'ééh Hi Shí éí (I am) Davina Morris. My clans are Todích'íí'nii (Bitter Water), born for Mexican American, my maternal grandparents are (Tsi'naajinii). I’ve worked primarily with adolescents providing individual therapy, family therapy, and psychoeducational groups. Adolescents are the population that resonates with me the most because they have unheard voices. I’ve found that listening to our youth is not only a teaching from my Diné culture, but I believe that we all have our own cultures that have similar insights. I know we can return to a culturally holistic approach to listening to teens and listening to one another.

Life with its transitions can be stressful and overwhelming. Even positive changes trigger distress. On this challenging path I offer my extensive training and experience to provide guidance helping you overcome obstacles to feeling better, to increase your curiosity and exploration of your self-growth, to understand yourself deeply, your relationship concerns; to make possible your working through the difficult situation. I have been successfully working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Together we identify long or short-term life difficulties such as helplessness, low self-esteem, relationship problems; we work them through, and increase satisfaction and meaning of life.

There are times when stress, worry or sadness fill too much of your life. Relationships may be disappointing or confusing. You may feel stuck, wishing you could feel and act differently in your life, but you feel held back. I see the therapeutic process as a relationship and place to safely practice how you would like to be and feel in the world. When we express ourselves to family or friends, they can often react personally or minimize our experience. The neutral, nonjudgmental environment of therapy allows space to fully explore our experiences without upsetting or worrying others.

Do you feel lost and overwhelmed? Is there never enough time and space for self care? We can work together in a safe space that allows you to process, explore and discover your capacity to manage your symptoms and develop coping skills that helps you find the state of mind that resonates with you. I can assist you with boundary improvement, and feelings of low self worth. Socratic method can be utilized to enhance self reflection and growth. Specializing in struggles intersecting in: Trauma, neurodivergency; as well as those who identify as nontraditional in their relationships and indentity. i.e. asexual, demisexual, or similar.

I am a California, Arizona & Iowa licensed marriage and family therapist (CA 86294, AZ 15639, IA: 126195). I specialize in working with couples & individuals navigating life-altering medical conditions; women overwhelmed in the face of work, family & personal pressure; and couples struggling to create or restore fulfilling connection.

I firmly believe there is a definite quality difference between a marriage-counseling specialist and a therapist who "also" works with couples. My singular focus enables me to meet you where you are in your struggles and to work with you without judgment and never favoring either partner. I use the most-effective approach of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy. This science-based method is a "brief" model, which means you may experience relief in the early phase of our work together. You'll learn about a "negative cycle" of arguing or distancing and how that cycle is your enemy, not each other!

Welcome! I primarily specialize in treating OCD, picking/pulling disorders, body dysmorphia and anxiety disorders and also enjoy treating depression, trauma, couples, and spirituality struggles. I take a wholistic and trauma-informed approach. My techniques are founded in ERP and ACT for OCD, IFS and psychomotor for trauma, and EFT for couples. I believe in helping clients look much deeper into their childhood, past experiences, attachments, spirituality, physical health, connection to nature, and core beliefs. I would love to be on your team, helping you create a more meaningful life, less burdened by your OCD or other struggles.

My passion is serving couples, families and women. I find I have the most success in supporting women (emphasis on ages 18- 30's), and the unique challenges we face. If you are struggling with negative self talk, difficulty putting yourself first and saying "no" to others, or other difficulties creating anxiety.. I'm here to listen & support. Regarding success in serving couples and families (LGBTQIA+ affirming), I take an emotionally focused approach and ground in communication skills. I will work with you to find the emotional root of the issues you see resurfacing, so cycles are put to an end & you feel at ease.

You have accomplished everything you were always told you were supposed to--so why do you feel so miserable? Why is it, despite all these accomplishments, you still feel like a failure? You may not have even noticed your dissatisfaction because you've been so busy taking care of others and "looking good on the outside." But lately you've begun to realize that somewhere amongst all the work and responsibilities, you've never really been happy, not deep down. What's worse, you feel as though no one understands your pain because all they see is someone whose life looks perfect. Someone who has accomplished all they're supposed to.

My mission revolves around helping individuals find a comfortable sense of contentment and identity. This could include overcoming trauma, personal hardships, and mental blocks; or safely exploring who you are in the world. Whatever your journey entails, I'm here to be a facilitator of support.
