Couples Counseling Therapists in Phoenix, AZ
I have worked with individuals, families, and couples struggling with trauma, sexuality, eating disorders, domestic violence, anxiety, and depression.
You may have landed on this professional profile because you are taking stock of your life and realize that the life you have is not the one you envisioned for yourself. Whether you are bored or in a lot of pain, you may be seeking growth and change, possibly a sense of aliveness. Counseling can be a safe, nurturing setting to slow down and listen to your soul and your body. As you become aware of yourself, you begin to understand how you got to where you are, why you do what you do, and what new paths are possible to you. As a trained therapist from a relational-psychodynamic perspective, I see therapy as a collaborative process.

I work with teens, young adults, families and couples who are facing issues pertaining to gender identity, autism, and/or relationship distress.
Hello, I'm Adelaide! I am a neurodivergent queer woman and I like to focus on the stories that we tell about ourselves and our relationships as well as the stories other people and institutions tell about us. Therapy with me looks like untangling the messy web of societal expectations that the world pushes on you, empowering you to be the author of your own story, and taking back control of your life and your identity in light of what makes you uniquely you. With couples, I also use emotionally focused therapy (EFT) techniques to create healing interactions between you and your partner right there in session.

I received my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology at Arizona School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University, where I received my training in treating adults, families, couples, adolescents, and children.
I believe individuals have enormous potential to improve their lives, manage their difficulties, and heal themselves. My goal is to help them become aware of their inner strength through a process of examining their thoughts and feelings.

In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music, cooking authentic Italian meals, being creative through different art mediums, and spending the day with my wonderful partner and our three dogs.
I am a compassionate and empathetic person, and my goal as your therapist is to provide a safe and non-judgmental setting while you embark on your gender journey. My therapeutic approaches include motivational interviewing, EMDR, solution-focused interventions, and person-centered engagement. Shortly after receiving my bachelor’s degree, I moved to Arizona and began my journey to discover my authentic self. In 2009, I made the courageous steps to live authentically as a transgender man and medically transition. Therefore, I bring a wealth of knowledge regarding resources to therapy.

For couples, trauma can mean a tumultuous relationship, hurting those in the vicinity.
Love & trauma are an interesting mix. After experiencing stress or trauma we can experience anxiety, spaciness, tension, temper flares, relational conflict, or intense shame or worthlessness. Our big reactions can then hurt our relationships. Trauma can be obvious - a sudden, horrible event, but for many, life has been overwhelming, disconnected or emotionally isolated for a very long time. I use creative and innovative experiential therapies to help you feel calmer in your body, even for those who have been in talk therapy for a long time or those for whom talk therapy or CBT has only been minimally effective.

I am here to help you navigate your feelings of being lost. I'm a trained Christian counselor, and believe spirituality and faith can help you through these challenging times.

In therapy, we will build mindfulness skills, identify values, and build a new relationship with thoughts.
I provide LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and help people self-explore, navigate relationships, and find supports in the community. We often spend so much time avoiding what makes us uncomfortable or scared that we miss out on the fullness of life. I want to help if you are feeling stuck, struggling with avoidance, or feeling disconnected from your values to build skills of flexibility and mindfulness. I want to work with you to reconnect with your values, set meaningful goals, and embrace the full range of human experience (positive and negative).

By creating a safe, non-judgemental, open therapeutic relationship, my goal is to utilize your own strengths and values as a guide to establish the best ways to help you.
“The more you understand how worthy you are, the more likely you’ll find your strength again.” - Tabitha Brown. It is essential to understand our own worth and to learn who we are as individuals. Unfortunately through various life events, we may lose sight of who we are or never learn who we are at all. When we don’t have an understanding of our own worth, it is difficult to find our inner strength and to understand what we deserve out of life and relationships. Due to feelings of unworthiness and/or low self-esteem, we may end up making decisions, choosing relationships, and reacting to life in ways that do not serve us well.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to help identify and enact solutions that work for YOU.
Different times and experiences in life inspire a desire (or need) for change in our selves, and in our relationships. When you're facing challenges and at the cusp of growth, I can offer you understanding, insight, and support for your unique experience, background, and next steps. With a warm and personal approach, I strive to maintain a safe, comfortable, and nonjudgmental therapy setting where we can work together to address challenges, changes, and goals, while also making space to explore the power and influences of the past.
