Somatic Therapists in Scottsdale, AZ

I am Kristi Estrada, MAPC, CFTP, LPC-S, and I consider myself a Gracious Community Connector, Mobilizer, Disruptor, and Servant Leader, and Wishing the Body did not Keep the Score but grateful for helping grow the movement of Trauma Restorative Care and Recovery. As a Servant Leader, I bring a profound lifelong passion for health and healing, which permeates my work as a therapist and educator. My heart lies in supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate through various distressing symptoms, always approaching each interaction with an empathic and inquisitive spirit.

Hi! My name is Cami Ereth. I adhere to the belief that each person inherently knows themselves best; I am here to walk alongside you to offer insight and skills. I view each person I meet with unconditional positive regard. I also consider myself an EMDR Therapist who offers healing through trauma insight. Believe it or not, there is joy (or at the least, less stress/pain) in the midst of all that! I love helping women (and their kids) work to find their worth, and their positive mental health; walking with them as they grow and get strong.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and relational. I'm truly interested in you as a person. My work is based on the assumption that all people have strengths and inner resources that can be accessed by asking creative questions that generate new possibilities. This enhances life choices, and develops stories that allow for new ways of being in the world. I draw on cognitive behavior therapy, social construction, narrative therapy, systems therapy, and mindfulness in counseling to support clients in meeting their goals. Somatic experiencing is another specialty area for me, working with the nervous system for healing.

My passion is to provide hope and healing from life's challenges in a nonjudgemental, serene environment. I provide a holistic, person-centered approach, and together, I can help you find relief from the shame, burdens, and struggles. I have worked in the healthcare industry for over 20 years, both inpatient and outpatient, in a variety of roles and provide several specialties to help individuals,couples, and groups recover from anxiety, eating disorders, depression, life transitions, phobias, relationship challenges, stress, and trauma. Experience the freedom and discover new ways to enjoy living your life to the fullest.

Are you struggling to function in the present or feeling paralyzed by events of the past? Are you experiencing the effects of debilitating grief and loss? Are you feeling stifled from reaching your full potential and connecting to how you are being led moment by moment? Whether your blocks are the result of PTSD, abuse, chronic pain or illness, or painful losses, there is hope for the future. It is possible to live a life freed from the symptoms that prevent you from engaging fully in life. Now you can live the life purpose for which you have been created. You can soar freed from the chains that bind.

If you are frequently feeling trapped and are so sick of the race you are not alone. If you have never been to therapy...Welcome! If you have been to therapy many times or have even been in therapy for years and you have all the “understanding” of what is wrong, but aren’t getting better, you also are not alone. Guess what? There is more to counseling than just re-telling your most painful memories. In fact, research is showing us that doing this is actually harmful and re-traumatizes people. You see, when you talk about trauma, your body has a physiological response, it actually can think it is back in that situation.

I believe that at any given moment you are doing your best with what you are given. Through a trauma-informed and unconditionally positive lens; I am eager to support you in learning and exploring your past and present. I aim to empower you to be an agent of change in your own life and in doing so, find your own path in creating a hopeful future where you can live, thrive, and achieve your true potential. I have experience working with diverse populations including individuals that are neurodivergent, and individuals with anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, trauma, sexual abuse, and severe mental illnesses.

As an experienced trauma therapist, I have appreciated the tenderness and importance around establishing a secure therapeutic relationship-one based upon mutual trust, consistent support and a secure base of reliable attachment. I believe that for many folks, there has been a wounding within a relationship that can begin to heal and repair when in deep connection with another who offers security, consistency, understanding and grounded emotional support. I would love to become that person for you! Together, we will create a plan unique and special for you to access feelings of peace, ease and well-being in everyday Life.

Do you feel exhausted? Overwhelmed? Have your relationships been challenged in the last few years? You’re doing the best you can, but it feels like it’s never enough. You focus on everyone around you and find it hard to set aside time for yourself. The stories we tell about ourselves impact the way we see the world. Often, these stories come with assumptions and attitudes that get in the way of living an authentic life.

If the things that you’re doing online or in bed are making you want to harm yourself (or someone else), you can call me. I won’t co-sign the stuff that’s causing harm, but I also won’t judge you. No matter what it is.

I'd like to help you explore the root causes of your suffering and move toward lasting relief. Do you want a deeper understanding of the core issues underlying your relationship problems, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, substance use, or other issues? Are you curious about how early life experiences may be driving your current problems? Our early wounds are often obvious, like abuse, neglect, or abandonment. But some hurts are more subtle. Even when we have a so-called "happy childhood," we may still go through a lot of "less-than-nurturing" experiences that have a profound impact on our emotional lives as adults.

Choosing a therapist can be a daunting task. My goal at Epiphany Counseling is to make that choice easier by creating the empathy, nurturance and safety that allows you to freely explore the life situation that brings you to therapy. In that environment, I aim to help you experience a healing process that will restore hope, health and vitality to your life. I believe that almost all of us have the organic capacity to heal and fulfill our potential, but that past experiences have taught us dysfunctional ways to cope. The goal of therapy is to learn new ways of being so that we attain greater health, peace of mind and joy.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you have trouble staying focused, concentrating, functioning normally? Most people that seek out my expertise do because they're either in crisis or struggling, and within a few sessions, they are feeling more in control, more peaceful, and more aware of their capabilities to manage their lives and relationships better.

Life can be so challenging. Stress builds up and we get stuck in dysfunctional behavioral patterns and negative thought loops. Relationships are sometimes hard work, and we find ourselves going round & round with our partner, child or parent—feeling unheard, misunderstood, frustrated and disconnected. Often our reactions to present day stressors stem from early life experiences or unresolved trauma. Healing happens in the presence of someone who sees us and accepts us just as we are; and can help us process emotions like anxiety, despair, anger, shame, grief, and longing. This leads to greater self-understanding and self-compassion.

Have you noticed that the recent changes in our world have resulted in more worry, less self care, increased frustration and an overall sense of discomfort? Are you looking for some relief from increased stress so you can find happiness and feel good every day? Or, are you trying to avoid miscommunication and repair the disconnection you feel within your relationship? As a first responder, public safety worker or medical provider, are you feeling exhausted, burned out and really need to talk to someone, in confidence who understands the culture and nuances of your work demands and responsibilities? I am here to help you feel better.
