Relationship Issues Therapists in Oro Valley, AZ

I have over 40 years experience working with clients in Tucson, providing caring, compassionate, confidential therapy with a wide variety of folks. My work has often focused on trauma resolution with victims of domestic violence, sexual abuse, or recent trauma. I have extensive experience with adolescents, families, and with women who are working through life changes. I have worked with clients addressing gender dysphoria, both teens and adults working through transgender identity issues. My training is eclectic, including TA, GESTAULT, Guided Imagery, CBT, DBT, Mindfulness meditation, and EMDR. My goal is to find what works best for you.

Are you anxious, always irritated or feel guilty for no reason? Do mood swings cause problems in your life? Do you keep making the same mistakes over and over? Sadly, many people manage the symptoms with prescriptions, street drugs, or alcohol, often resulting in making things worse. These treatments are meant to be temporary, and never really solve the problem. As the drugs become less effective their lives spiral out of control. These people feel increasingly anxious, hopeless and finally start pushing away friends and loved ones. Isolation becomes the norm, and loneliness takes over. But it doesnt have to be this way!

I mostly work with active and retired public safety (incl DOC), EMS, fire, ER staff, active duty and combat vets as clients. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC), licensed independent substance abuse counselor (LISAC), national certified counselor (NCC), clinically certified forensic counselor (NFC), trauma and anger therapist.

My passion is helping people connect in healthy ways, healing wounds that prevent us from living full lives and becoming our whole selves. Childhood abuse, attachment struggles, codependency, and dysfunctional family systems can leave us hurt and guarded, but we can overcome these wounds. We can find love within ourselves, we can connect in healthy ways, and this is something we deserve in our lives. My hope is for you to live a beautiful life, accepting yourself, allowing yourself to be loved. I believe I have tools to assist you in this journey and would be honored to be your guide.

I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, families, adolescents and children. My general areas of interest are autistic spectrum disorders, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationships, eating disorders and trauma, and obsessive compulsive problems. My experience has been that psychological change and changes in life circumstances become possible and more probable when a person understands how their mind works; how thoughts and feelings influence what happens internally and in relation to others. Therapy can help a patient obtain a greater degree of control in managing feeling states and the thoughts related to these.

Navigating through changes and transitions can be challenging and alienating. I offer a new perspective and a helpful therapeutic partnership. I feel it is a true privilege to be part of one's healing journey. My practice is inspired by Person Centered Therapy and a diverse study of methods ranging from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance, Commitment, and strengths-based therapy. I believe that no two clients are the same, and that a practice must be an individualized collaboration based on mutual authenticity and honesty. These are among the compassionate qualities which allow for a genuine therapeutic alliance.

A native of Portsmouth, New Hampshire I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in New Hampshire and Arizona. I am a Clinical Fellow with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and serve on the Board of the Greengard Center for Autism in Portsmouth, NH.

With couples, I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy which helps clients reconnect with their partners. Specialties include: -Trauma -Internet Pornography addiction -Mood disorders -Crisis Management -Parenting -Meditation/mindfulness training

I provide specialized therapeutic services for children and adolescents struggling with anxiety and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These young individuals often face significant challenges with anxiety management, organizational skills, maintaining focus on less engaging tasks, and consistently regulating their emotions. Consequently, they may experience academic underachievement, disciplinary issues at school and home, and strained relationships with peers and family members.

Stress, anxiety, and unhealed trauma impacts our relationships, our jobs, our families, and even how we feel about ourselves. When this happens, we can feel as if we are stuck in our relationships & jobs or even trapped in our own lives. Fear & anxiety does not have to control your everyday thoughts and cultivating joy is possible! Choosing to get help is the first step towards change..

Searching for marriage counseling with an experienced Christian-based therapist? Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, family issues, trauma, or other specific needs? I have 40 years of experience as a therapist. I've been the director of counseling in two large churches and worship leader in another one. With clients who value faith in Christ, I integrate biblical principles and techniques, including prayer and the use of scriptures. I also counsel people of all faiths and will meet you where you're at. I think of myself as "warm and human first; professional always." I'm accepting new clients, including Saturday appointments.

Having worked in the mental health field for 9+ years and presently as a Senior Social Worker at a government agency, I have helped patients with a diverse array of both severe and chronic problems to include depression, anxiety, addiction, insomnia, suicidal ideation, self-directed violence, chronic pain, marital conflict, parenting difficulties, and diverse traumas to include sexual and military traumas. My ideal client is one who is willing to have a guided conversation, is receptive to feedback, and who completes between-session work. Most of my clients have a goal to decrease depression and anxiety and improve mood.

My time as a guide in the Alaskan Rainforest taught me many truths: the thrill of wilderness air, the sacred language of native poetry and art, and, perhaps most notably, the realization that all life is deeply interwoven. As a clinician, I believe that each core aspect of a person - their spiritual, mental, physical, and social selves - requires intentional nurturing, and that each of these four "trees" uplifts the others - just as the neighboring trees in a forest work harmoniously for their united good.

I am deeply aware of the profound effects that stress, anxiety, and unresolved trauma can have on every aspect of our lives. They can weigh heavily on our relationships, careers, families, and self-worth; leaving us feeling trapped and unable to move forward. I believe that fear and anxiety do not have to dictate our daily thoughts and actions. Through my work, I am passionate about guiding clients towards a path of healing. If you're ready to take that first step towards a brighter tomorrow.

With over 13 years of experience, I remain passionate and dedicated to serving individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, and issues related to eating and addiction. In counseling sessions, you can expect unconditional kindness and acceptance with a focus on personal and cultural strengths.

There are times in life when additional support is necessary to ensure our success at effectively meeting and overcoming challenges. Therapy provides us with a safe space to explore our needs, fears, and desires and an opportunity to grow, learn, and experience a more fulfilling, productive, and balanced life. Psychotherapy does not offer solutions or take sides. Instead, you will be supported in working out solutions according to your own personal values and lifestyle. Seeking professional support shows courage and willingness to deal with many changes.

I am an outgoing, thoughtful, and compassionate therapist who believes in developing therapy goals together. I approach each clinical situation, therapeutic challenge, and client with positivity, respect, and exuberance. I work best with adolescents and young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mood disturbances. I hope to help my clients meet their identified goals. I am now a provider for University of Arizona (as well as ASU and NAU!) students covered under United Healthcare Student Resources!

My approach to therapy is to listen with a warm and empathic ear so that you can feel heard and begin to heal. I believe you have it within you to grow and change, and my role is to guide therapy and encourage you along the way. I will provide you with feedback and insight and consider myself to be a partner in your healing journey.

I have a unique background and heart to support emergency responders because I am an EMT and retired law enforcement officer. I have been a licensed therapist in Arizona since 2007. I believe first responders are very strong and resilient people, but sometimes they need support by a licensed professional who understands their jobs and work culture. I can help them build resilience, learn additional coping tools to get better outcomes at work and at home, and I can provide a safe and understanding environment to "off-load" and process some of the intrusive effects of trauma they've experienced (accepting adult clients only).
