My therapy clients range from ages 4 to 80 and I see a variety of treatment issues including, but not limited to, behavior problems, ADHD, learning disability, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship concerns, and life adjustment. My philosophy is that the therapy session belongs to the client, and everyone's needs are different. Therefore, I tailor my approach to each individual client.

I am the best fit for a family who has children between the ages from birth to 24 years old. I offer support to families who are struggling with challenging behaviors from their children and adolescents in home or at school. I offer a unique systemic approach that includes parents in the treatment process that is not found in many other practices. This systemic approach is extremely affective and helps keep parents in the loop and helps families complete the treatment goal faster than other approaches. As I believe therapy for children should be brief and solution focused so they can get back to being a kid.

One crucial part of the therapeutic process is having a strong connection. My focus is to provide a calming, safe, and comfortable environment for my clients to feel understood and not judged, to explore more about themselves throughout their therapeutic journey. Everyone has their own unique story and I strive to help you heal and allow for you to share your story the way YOU want to. I hope to offer the comfortability in being able to work towards your goals and enhancing the quality of life for yourself. I have experience working with adults, with a trauma focused & informed approach, targeting depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

Everyone experiences stress in their lives. Sometimes this can become overwhelming and seem unmanageable and make you withdraw, isolate, or even become vulnerable to acting out. Whether this is due to school, work, relationships, parenting, or trauma; there are ways to help decrease and restructure the systems that have been affected by severe or prolonged amounts of stress. My name is Erica Van Parys and I am a licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s in Clinical Counseling. I am very holistic in my practice and believe that relationships, connectedness, and collaboration are the key components to success.

Have you been struggling to navigate life in a world that seems unbearable and unfulfilling? It can be hard to find a therapist, so I invite you to this safe and nonjudgmental space.

I am a licensed psychotherpist in AZ and nationally certified. I am trained in various techniques that help with the resolution of trauma, abuse, neglect, addiction, and personality corrections.

My team includes Spanish speaking services and the ability to work with those who have other concerns such as anxiey, bipolar, depression, ADHD, and emotional dysregulation as part of individual, group, IOP counseling.

***I am mostly unable to accept new therapy clients. I am only accepting clients for psychological, psychoeducational, DDD, and gifted evaluations at this time. Wait time for a psychological eval is approximately 6 months. Wait time for a gifted eval is about 4 weeks*** My goal to assist children, teens, and young adults in reaching their full potential. I seek to provide services that better equip a child or adolescent to make positive choices, to overcome and move forward from significant loss and negative experiences, to feel good about him or herself, and to feel capable of achieving all that he or she desires.

If you are currently struggling with family issues, feel free to call or email me. I am currently accepting clients in-person or through a video chat called Doxy.me.

Just as you visit physicians for preventive care, you can meet with a psychologist to address issues before they become problematic. This proactive approach encourages the development of psychological health. People are in good psychological health when they make good decisions, manage stress well, communicate effectively, have healthy relationships, and take good care of themselves emotionally and physically. Let me work with you to establish and maintain your optimal psychological health. We can do that through the use of therapy and/or psychological testing, as I specialize in both forms of treatment.

I firmly believe that every individual's journey is unique, and I approach each client with an open heart and a non-judgmental attitude. Recognizing the courage it takes to seek help and embark on the path of healing, I strive to foster a personal connection with each individual, ensuring that they feel seen, heard, and valued. By building this trust and rapport, I aim to create a therapeutic alliance that serves as the foundation for meaningful progress and positive change. My desire as a counselor is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a commitment to providing personalized care for those facing mental health and addiction issues.

At Oasis Psychological services, I conduct psychological evaluations for individuals ages 8-65, psychosexual evaluations for juveniles and adults with sexual behavior problems, and assessments for juveniles with delinquency and/or substance abuse issues. I also conduct disability evaluations. Oasis Psychological Services offers therapy for a wide range of mental health problems as well as specialized services for juveniles with sexual behavior problems. We offer individual, family, and group counseling.

Via psychotherapy and assessment, I support individuals, couples, families, and organizations through the changing seasons of life. Intersectional identity shifts, intergenerational trauma, faith transitions, pregnancy/postpartum, sexual trauma, systemic oppression, multicultural couples (polyamory affirming), and families navigating members "coming out" or "letting in" with diverse political or spiritual views are a few specialty areas. Particular attunement is provided to BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and neurodiverse/autistic communities. My goal is to help communities live in alignment with their values.
