Therapists in Peoria, AZ

My name is Wendy Weise, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in Tucson, AZ and provide telehealth throughout the state. I've worked as a therapist for 8 years now, specializing in adults from 18 through mature adulthood. When I'm not in the office, I spend time with my husband and two dogs, love to read and to travel, and enjoy cooking as my mindfulness practice. I often use an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing on skill sets tailored to your needs, which may change as you progress through therapy and as life happens!

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS... Everyone deserves the opportunity to feel heard, understood and supported in order to make the changes they want in their lives. Everyone deserves to be living the life they want. I provide my clients with a variety of therapeutic techniques and tools necessary to get to the life they envision and want. My goal as a therapist is to help all clients see that they are strong, resilient, and can achieve their goals in order to start living the life they want and deserve. I look forward to working with you during your journey.

Hi. I first want to welcome you to my practice and congratulate you on your courage! As a therapist, my goal is to provide a space for you to be authentically who you are without judgment. I provide support during the hard times, ask tough questions when necessary, and work with you to find practical solutions to your challenges. I aim to forge a deep and trusting relationship so that you feel comfortable discussing your most protected thoughts and feelings. There are no quick fixes, but developing the life skills, improving self-respect, and connecting deeply with loved ones are key in building wholeness in mind, body, and spirit!

Sensory Life was established to help people of all ages develop a happy, balanced lifestyle through increased understanding of their unique sensory processing needs. My services are ideal for those exploring neurodivergence or with known sensory processing differences. Common diagnoses include ADHD, Autism, ADD, OCD, ODD, anxiety, & PTSD, but a diagnosis is not necessary to benefit from services. Parents, educators, & therapists would also benefit. I offer basic & comprehensive sensory evaluations, as well as follow up sessions. The process is personalized, neurodiversity affirming, trauma informed, and collaborative.

Whether you are depressed, anxious, grieving, in an unhealthy relationship, overwhelmed or desire to change the direction of your life, a personal/ workplace relationship, behavior or addiction that is getting in the way of your happiness, you can do it! I am here to support you in your journey towards greater joy, empowerment, spirituality & fulfillment utilizing Intuitive SHIFT Therapy, CBT, Hypnotherapy and Chakra Alignment.

Feeling stuck? Like you're not in the place you should be in your life right now? I understand that feeling completely and I'm here to help. Sometimes life doesn't turn out the way we hope and we begin to feel down, hopeless, worried, or alone. I will help you recognize that it's OK to have these difficult feelings...and even normal! When we learn to acknowledge and accept our feelings we can begin to move through them and find meaning and joy in our lives again. We can put down the shame, guilt, and burden we feel and find our true purpose again. I'm here to walk along side you on your journey toward self-growth and healing.

My goal as a therapist is to best support you in your journey as well as to support you in being/becoming your best self and creating your best life. Through this process we may encounter many feelings and emotions as well as behaviors that are best addressed in a safe therapeutic environment. My intention is to create that space and navigate the process together and provide tools and resources for you to do the same in the future for yourself.

Solution-Oriented Therapy with Empathy and Kindness....The problems and dilemmas that you bring to therapy: These are the sparks that will propel you forward towards your healing. We discuss and explore your issues, and then we integrate what you learn into your daily life. We move as slowly or as quickly as you are comfortable with, in an atmosphere that is safe and contained, creating a path to hope, insight and personal strength. After 30 years helping others heal from and handle difficult situations as well as reach their dreams, it is clear to me that taking action steps - even tiny steps - is key to moving forward.

Maybe coming to therapy is an easy, intuitive next step for you. You know and trust yourself to find just the right counselor. You know what you need from therapy to support your relationships, career/life satisfaction, self-care needs, or trauma recovery. I trust your inner wisdom and can’t wait to collaborate with you. Or, maybe you’re more tentative about this whole “therapy” thing. Life may have taught you that trust is precious–that reaching out for support could be dangerous. You may have even gotten the message not to believe in or advocate for yourself. Well, this might be a surprise: I also trust *your* inner wisdom.

I’m here to help you feel less overwhelmed, stuck, hopeless or helpless. To help you quiet your brain/body, organize your thoughts, and figure out not just where all this stuff comes from, but what you can do about it. Sometimes I help people find answers inside themselves they already knew, sometimes I help people get outside of themselves and use insights from our fellow humans, from nature, science, spirituality, philosophy, you name it. I’m a straight talker, AND I don’t judge— literally, I can teach you how to use a nonjudgmental stance— and possibly most importantly, I bring some FUN to this process!

THE CHOICE... One of my clients said that she wished that choosing a therapist was like finding a new puppy. You get a sense of the breeding, temperament and capability and then you know from a heartfelt connection that you have the right one. Here you must decide from an exhaustive list of similar sounding credentials. So what I want to offer is some background and then hopefully you can have the experience she wished for everyone.

I offer a collaborative and integrative approach for clients seeking insight to their challenges. My attitude towards therapy is that there is not one universal method that works best for anyone, therefore, I use an appropriate blend of modalities to help you overcome whatever you are currently experiencing. I believe that you are the expert in your own life and I am here to help you navigate the difficulties you are currently facing. I concentrate on developing a partnership with clients to identify strengths and areas of potential growth to make meaning and implement positive change.

Do you think about times in the past when you wish that you felt different, or had done something differently? It can be hard to not get stuck in the "should" of everything. When you are in this place it can be hard to pick yourself up when you trip or fall. I specialize in working with people who are struggling with chronic pain/illness, anxiety, neurodivergence, and trauma. I want to help you feel grounded and present in your life. I want you to know that by seeing you authentically and individualizing therapeutic treatment, and treating you as a whole person, I know that I can help you heal.

Danielle LaPorte asked the question best, “Can you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?” Can you remember when you loved and accepted yourself unapologetically, and embraced all the things about you that make you unique? As we age, we gain knowledge from life experiences and through those experiences we can soar to greatness or we can break and lose sight of who we really are and become someone we were never meant to be. When we become someone less than who we were meant to be we can begin to experience anxiety, depression, substance abuse, loss of relationships and functional distress.

I am a licensed professional counselor who has worked in the mental health field since 2007. I have worked with individuals and families from various cultures and backgrounds.

I welcome all those needing support to feel connected, empowered and confident to meet life's challenges. Shift from reactivity to response. I help individuals, regardless of their ability to name their pain, to focus on taking care of themselves to recover from relational distress, loss & burnout. In our time together, we will work on restoring the trust, confidence and sense of self often depleted as a result of relational trauma and life experiences. I specialize in treating complex and attachment related trauma, ADHD as well as autism, from a relational and developmentally based perspective using EMDR, IPSRT and EFT.

Specializing in care for Young Adults. Are you experiencing anxiety or panic attacks? Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed and find yourself less motivated or energized to keep up with your daily tasks? I work with university students and adults in their early careers, and these are some of the things I hear about the most. That, and wanting to feel more connected to peers / colleagues. I believe things CAN get better. Part of healing is being able to talk about your experience without worrying about being judged. Therapy is a place where you can be yourself.
