What We Can Help With
Counseling in Mesa, Arizona for anxiety, depression, relationships, life changes, and trauma. Our therapists are trained in EMDR and complex trauma at a level most practices are not, so the work can go as deep as it needs to without you starting over.
Anxiety
For worry that will not turn off, panic, social anxiety, and the tension that follows you to bed.
Depression
For the heaviness, numbness, or exhaustion that has gone on longer than it should.
Couples & Family
For couples and families stuck in the same argument, growing distant, or preparing for marriage.
Teens
For teenagers 13 and up who are anxious, withdrawn, struggling at school, or figuring out who they are.
ADHD & Autism
Neurodivergent-affirming support for ADHD and autism, including late diagnosis and burnout.
Trauma & EMDR
PTSD, complex trauma, dissociation, and religious trauma, treated with EMDR and parts work by a team that specializes in it.
Trained for the Hard Stuff
Most people who call us are not calling about trauma. They are calling because they cannot sleep, cannot stop worrying, or feel far away from the people they love. Those are good reasons to come in, and they are what most of our work looks like.
What sets our team apart is what happens when the work goes deeper. Our clinicians are trained in EMDR, complex trauma, and dissociation at a level most general practices are not. If it turns out your anxiety has roots in something that happened to you, your therapist can work with that directly. You will not be referred out or asked to start over.
The NIMH estimates that 6.8% of U.S. adults will experience PTSD in their lifetime, and anxiety disorders affect 40 million adults. Both are treatable.
How We Work
Every treatment plan is built for the person in front of us, drawing on EMDR, Structural Dissociation, CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, and Emotionally Focused Therapy as the situation calls for them. Our care is trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, and grounded in respect for who you are and where you come from.
Affirming Care for Everyone
Our practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, sex-positive, and neurodivergent-informed. We know that not being accepted for who you are can wound as deeply as anything else that happens to a person, and we treat it that way. Here you can bring your whole self into the room and work on what you came for.
