Therapists in Arizona
I specialize in anger management, men's issues, and ADHD. A client who is looking for a sensitive yet strategic approach to these issues will likely benefit from the work we do together. During our initial session I will, as much as possible, try to understand your situation and help you set a direction so that you get get what you need from your therapeutic experience. While my specialties are those previously mentioned I also see clients for a number of other issues: relationships, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, removing blocks to creativity, and addictions.

Little is more amazing, complex, and sometimes unsettling, than human thought, emotion, and behavior. This interest, coupled with a love of working with people in a direct and meaningful way, is why I work as a counselor. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Ottawa University and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health from the University of Phoenix. My training background and approach to therapy is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and in Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

Evening and Weekend availability only. Are you struggling but you have no idea why? Unfortunately, many people who deal with mental health problems never receive an appropriate diagnosis and thus can be treated incorrectly. Too many times people come to me with a diagnosis of anxiety or depression, when in fact they are dealing with something else like PTSD or OCD. As a psychologist, I am trained to provide a comprehensive psychological evaluation to accurately determine what you are dealing with so we can treat it appropriately. If you want to make sure you are receiving the right treatment for the right issue I can help.

My ideal clients are those who are interested and open to exploring themselves! I see adolescents and adults. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, anger management, men’s issues and more. Some clients have an idea of what they want to work on and others may be unsure of the why they are feeling a certain way. There are times when gaining a little insight makes all the difference. There are times when deeper work can be helpful in seeking resolution to struggles. The decision to come to therapy is a large one; but when people make the choice to get some help, they are usually ready to make some positive changes!

I believe that aspects unique to each family system (i.e., attachment, multigenerational processes, cultural/spiritual beliefs) are some of the key indicators of an individual’s personal life experience and the development of their identity. All of these things contribute to the way that we interact and connect with others, which makes relationships complex, and sometimes difficult to navigate. My areas of focus include perinatal mental health related issues, attachment injury repair, and navigating phase of life transitions.

Spectrum disorders affect 1 in 36 children in the United States, and with social media bringing awareness, it can be confusing to navigate a new diagnosis with various forms of information being shared. If you or your child has recently received a spectrum diagnosis, know that you are not alone. Nurturing this journey through proven modalities bolstered by peer-reviewed research and empirical data is central to achieving practical outcomes and overall well-being. Every person's journey is unique and should be explored through methods that ensure a welcoming and safe environment.

"Your past is not your potential. In any hour, you can choose to liberate the future" -- Marilyn Ferguson. Hello and welcome to my somatic psychotherapy practice. Both personally and professionally, I have learned the value of incorporating all aspects of the self - thoughts, feelings and the physical body - when addressing the suffering of human beings. My approach to healing is focused on the different ways we experience our lives (including cognition, emotion, five-sense perception, movement and sensation).

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
