In Person Therapists in Cornville, AZ

Always angry? Frustrated? Feel anxious and do not seem able to stop worrying about everything and anything? Trauma in your past and find it difficult to talk about? Perhaps it’s time you talked with someone who is non-judgmental and can help you feel calm, more relaxed, less anxious. Maybe even sleep better. My ideal client is one who wants their life to change and is willing to work for that change. I am here to help you, but you are in the driver’s seat and will be in charge of your therapy. I do different forms of therapy including EMDR. (Adolescents through the lifespan.)

You've experienced something terrible in your life, and you cannot stop thinking about it. You can't sleep, and barely function throughout the day. Or maybe you function, but you're unhappy, stressed and anxious. Maybe you cover the pain with drugs, sex or alcohol. Trauma affects everyone- and everyone reacts in their own way. You want to be able to look forward to your day, your life and your relationships. If you've been through sexual trauma, infidelity, relational issues or have low self esteem, EMDR can help.

I have been in private practice for over 20 years. My experiences have included working with children, adolescents, and adults in coping with a variety of relationship problems, mental health, and substance use disorders.

I have extensive experience with trauma and am trained in EMDR therapy. I am specialized in all developmental stages from birth to geriatrics. My patients find that I am an active listener, compassionate, warm and understanding as well as knowledgeable, collaborative, solution focused, and able to suggest creative and practical solutions

Being compassionate and offering a safe, tranquil healing space for self discovery and personal empowerment is very important to me. My areas of expertise are depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, major life changes, substance abuse, and women's issues. I am an EMDR certified therapist, and also offer insight oriented therapy, and mindfulness based practices. I have been working in the field of social work for over 30 years with a Masters in Social Work from Boston College and a Masters in Liberal Arts/concentration in Psychology from Harvard University.

If you're feeling lost, uncertain, overwhelmed, or down, you're in the right place. Therapy offers space to explore your emotions, understand your behavior, and gain clarity for the future. As a therapist, I imagine my work with clients as the two of us sitting side-by-side, digging for clues, sweeping away the dirt and debris, and collecting pieces that will ultimately help them create fuller, more integrated, healed selves.

My ideal clients are those who have experienced past trauma and suffering and are looking for healthy coping skills and are interested in exploring how body regulation can help regain control of their responses to the stressors they face. If you have experienced childhood trauma that has been left unresolved and continues to plague you, this might be a great option for you as you learn to desensitize past hurts and reintegrate them into healthy ways in the present moment. I provide space for clients to express their needs and gain tools to thrive in their environment.

Your life is a divine gift and worthy of the time and attention you can provide it - especially during challenging times when your life is turned upside down, relationships are troubled, life is confusing and painful, past experiences make the present hard to navigate, or sadness or fears make coping difficult. It is my goal to create with you a place of safety, understanding, acceptance and exploration so that you can experience the changes and growth that you desire.

As your therapist, I will guide you toward developing your own unique, healthy coping strategies without feeling ashamed for doing something to take care of yourself. While I understand the difficulties of asking another for help, I also know the immeasurable benefits and sense of empowerment that comes from facing life's obstacles head on working toward solutions. I am here to help you find your way to those solutions. I have specialized training in working with trauma survivors, grief, depression, relationship issues, family of origin issues, and LGBTQ community in a safe non-judgement space. I work with individuals, couples, and family members.

I offer psychotherapy for individual adults. Psychotherapy with me is a confidential, nonjudgmental, collaborative, and compassionate process. This means that we work together to find the root cause of your issues rather than focus on quick fixes and bandaids. Your reality, core beliefs, narratives, and relationships are shaped by your conscious and unconscious mind & your attachment style. Together, we work through your past to rebuild a new way of viewing and being in the world that serves who you are today. When working with me, you can expect an approach that is highly personalized to your personal growth and values.

In my practice I have worked with a wide variety of adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Talk therapy can provide a safe place to explore the issues most important to the individual(s), and I believe that clients should always feel in charge of their own therapy. Your agenda is my agenda, and you can set the pace which is comfortable for you. I am here to help you to explore your issues and to achieve your goals. We can utilize a wide variety of modalities depending upon what works for you,

The ideal client is someone who wants to get a different perspective, who wants to address personal challenges and recognizes that their life's work is defined by how well they manage those challenges. I am interested in working with people who want to live their best lives. Spiritual emergence is the term that best describes the process of self-discovery and self-actualization. Spirituality in this context is the realization of one's potential and the recognition that the things that get in the way are the inevitable hurdles to transformation.

I am a Licensed Psychologist and have worked in the mental health field for over 40 years. My experience is diverse, having worked with children, adolescents and adults with a focus on the treatment of mood disorders, substance abuse disorders and autism. My current areas of specialization include forensic psychology and psychological assessment. I do not do individual therapy and am not accepting therapy clients in Sedona or Flagstaff.

It takes courage to come to therapy. It is not easy to share your fears and anxieties, or your sadness and grief. We can often feel overwhelmed or get stuck in unhealthy cycles in our lives and don't know where to turn. It is my goal to provide a mutually respectful environment built upon trust and compassion, where you can gain greater insight and self-awareness to handle life's challenges. You deserve to find some peace and happiness in your life and discover the you, you are meant to be.

You have taken the first step towards creating the new story of your life, and living the life you truly want to live. I’m here to help you experience the change, relief, and lightness you’re looking for that makes a real difference in the lives of individuals and couples.

Facing challenges is a natural part of life, but sometimes, situations can feel overwhelming. Feelings of hopelessness, self-doubt, anxiousness, and depression can seem out of our control. We may notice disruptive patterns and challenges in our relationships with ourselves and others but feel unsure of how to change them. Our past can haunt us, and we might wonder why we can't experience the happiness and hope others seem to have. Our present grief or fear of change can be debilitating. The truth is happiness and inner peace are achievable, yet we may require a little assistance to find our way. If you are struggling, I can help.
