Strength-Based Therapists in Tucson, AZ

I look forward to providing a warmly honest, empathic space while working collaboratively with clients to deepen levels of insight and explore new, more adaptive modes of being in the world. With openness and curiosity, I am committed to psychotherapy not only as an avenue for individual growth and healing, but also, as a way of empowering individuals to connect with others, act in their lives and impact their world. My approach is psychoanalytically based, and is rooted in relational, attachment, and trauma-informed theories and practices, with a special interest in somatics, affective neuroscience, and mindfulness.

Life doesn't always go the way we envisioned it would. Sometimes we can handle life's curveballs, but sometimes we need some guidance to do so. Whether relationships aren't going as planned, our job isn't as fulfilling as it was, communication in relationships isn't working, or something inside of us doesn't feel quite right, a therapist can help guide us through the issues that are keeping us from living the life we want. Therapy can help with a wide range of issues like trauma, anxiety, depression, career problems, family/relationship problems, communication issues, and many more. It's never too late to have the life we want!

In my 10+ years of working with youth, adults, and families, I have had the honor of walking alongside trauma survivors of all ages as they reclaim their lives and reconnect with their authenticity. My clients have taught me about humility, strength, joy, and courage. I believe it is a privilege to be a part of your journey and will gratefully receive feedback to make sure our relationship is a healing experience in your life.

Hey there! Many of us can benefit from having a therapist help navigate our everyday challenges. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I am grateful you are reading my profile and considering me. I work heavily with emotions and focus on understanding the “why” behind our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. So, if you find yourself trying to understand those on a deeper level, I believe we would be a great fit! I received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral University. I also have my Graduate Certificate in Play Therapy from Capella University.

I am a firm believer that mental and behavioral health can be stigmatized. Becoming educated and guided in client’s mental stability is my priority as a Therapist. Combining mind, body and soul in the healing process is important for each individual.

At the Center for Sleep and Psychological Wellness, I love helping my clients feel more comfortable and confident in their lives. One of my favorite ways to do this is by supporting sleep! Learn more at www.SleepPsychWellness.com - - - Whether your sleep has never been what you want or has changed more recently, I can teach you evidence-based skills to improve and manage sleep long-term (no meds needed!). I practice from an eclectic orientation and enjoy using interventions from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness.

Hi there, and welcome. Let’s talk about the challenges that brought you here. Let’s also talk about the strength. Whether you’re giving therapy a first try, or another chance, I know it’s not easy. But we’re both here because of our shared belief that things can improve with the right support. Now let’s nurture your belief - in therapy and, most importantly, in yourself. You can change harmful behaviors that take more than they give. You can validate your past trauma and get out from under it. You can meet your emotional needs that were not met while growing up. You can learn to more fully love yourself and, in turn, receive love.

A good therapist accepts and validates who you are and what you value. This can only happen if you feel compassion and warmth from the therapist you choose. Do you feel troubled by your past? By events or relationships from your childhood? Or perhaps you are unsure of what drives your distress and simply need a safe, supportive person to explore this with. I am interested in getting to know you and to learn about your unique needs.

Accepting new clients. I am a psychologist candidate specializing in women's sexual and reproductive health. With a background in dance, theatre, and yoga, I found my way to psychology through movement and somatic practice. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Somatic Sex Educator, I provide you a safe space to process trauma, discover techniques that bring you back to the present, and develop skills to recognize your strengths. Together, we will empower you with the tools to foster trust in yourself and the capacity to build healthy relationships with yourself and others.

My clients are ready to dig deep and grow. Some folks have been in therapy before and wish to continue the process of deep self-reflection to deal with new and old places where they might feel "stuck." Here you can update, strengthen or start from scratch to build a strong sense of Self that works in this ever more complicated world. You will find your voice and learn to use it in a constructive manner. I offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, (KAP) Integration sessions following KAP, EMDR, and more traditional talk therapy. All clients must be currently vaccinated and boosted against Covid and the flu.

Immediate openings! I am currently working towards an AASECT approved Sex Therapy Certification. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, patient, and free of judgment. My primary focus is helping heal connections within couples and families. I have experience working with individuals with trauma, neurodiversity, mood disorders, identity issues, grief, loss, and many more populations. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming, kink affirming, and ethical non-monogamy affirming therapist.

I implement an effective psychotherapy method to instill self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations and I do this by building a therapeutic relationship. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and caretaker alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.

I have worked with a diverse clientele in a variety of settings. I've worked with children and teens with behavioral and school issues with histories of abuse and neglect in low-income communities in Boston, adults with trauma, mood, and substance-use disorders in a high end residential program, and inmates in the state prison. While every person I've worked with has been unique in their history, needs, and goals, I find that I can always find something to connect with. This connection can become life-changing when the client is motivated, willing to be uncomfortable and ultimately ready to move from discomfort to peace.

Is life feeling like a constant struggle for you? Navigating relationships, work, family, going through a tough transition? Any one of these can take so much out of any of us, leaving us confused, anxious, depressed, lacking direction. At some point, we are all faced with situations so challenging that we just need help to move through it. Having a safe person to truly listen, offer new perspectives, open new possibilities and/or help with solutions is so powerful. I became a therapist to serve specifically for these reasons and I believe that this kind of help, at a vulnerable time in life, can make all the difference in the world.

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.

Accepting new clients! Are you looking for a counselor who provides a safe and non-judgmental environment? I believe everyone's life has purpose, meaning, and a capacity for joy. I strive to create a compassionate environment that inspires hope where people feel important, valued, understood, and welcomed. You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning and feel a sense of purpose and satisfaction. It is a great privilege to be able to join you and witness your journey of healing, change, and growth.

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. At 4 Tree Therapy, we sustain that each core aspect of a person - their spiritual, mental, physical, and social selves - requires dedicated and meaningful nurturing, and that each of these "trees" uplifts the others - just as the neighboring trees in a forest work together as one.

Anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, trauma—it's all hard, and each challenge is different, so an ideal client is someone who is ready to work on their goals. I enjoy helping clients work through whatever concern or crisis they have. Being able to watch as someone makes the connections or meets a goal is always rewarding and the best part of the job.
