Sharon Wright

Are you struggling with symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, Anger, ADHD or PTSD related to relationships with friends or family members? During our initial sessions, while building rapport, we will investigate issues at hand, and collaborate to develop treatment goals/objectives for addressing them. Establishing safety and stabilization of symptoms is typically one of the first goals. My clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

Shannon Crawford-West

Are you tired, burnt out, or experiencing the fight or flight rollercoaster ? Do you feel the weight of the world or needs of others on your shoulders? Maybe you've used all your super powers to survive, but are not thriving. Anxiety and perfectionism can make life feel impossible. What helps anxiety can make depression feel worse. Coping by isolating, avoiding, dissociating, eating (and I don't mean broccoli) are just tools that may have worked temporarily in the past. No more! You can be free.

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Majo Birdsall

I help individuals struggling with trauma, grief, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients navigate childhood wounds, family dynamics, or the pain of losing a loved one, miscarriage, or infertility. Together, through trauma-informed therapy, we'll develop a plan tailored to your needs, helping you process pain, rebuild a sense of safety, and move forward with hope.

Erica Christmas

People who come to see me tell me they enjoy my direct approach to treatment. I understand the value of making progress toward goals, and I will do my best to help you feel that your life is moving in a positive direction.

Dr. Erik Escareño

Just. Like. You. So, stop giving your hard-earned coin to unseasoned therapists who just don't get it. We are reimagining and reindigenizing therapy. More importantly, we’re giving you life with indigenous practices that are culturally appropriate, judgement free, and affirmative care.

Marie Haddox

My private practice focuses primarily on relationship counseling with individuals, couples, and families. I am a strong advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and a member of WPATH and USPATH.

Michael Johnson

You ever feel like cocooning? You know, when you just want to shut out the world. For many it happens when relating to others feels draining, work is no longer fulfilling, or when it’s hard to feel good about anything. Life feels so heavy that it’s as if there’s no way out. This is how depression and anxiety can feel.

Michelle Gilreath

My clients are chaos gremlins holding it together with dry shampoo and sarcasm. They’re crushing it at work while having a full meltdown in the Target parking lot. Overthinking? Constant. Burnout? Absolutely. If your brain feels like a feral cat in a cardboard box, welcome. We untangle the mess and figure out how to function without yeeting ourselves into the sun.

Colleen Steppa

I have worked with a people going through life transitions, understanding trauma, and exploring what makes healthy and happy relationships. I believe that therapy is a tool to assist in times of need, and in therapy I want to support the individual to come to their own conclusions. My end goal is for my clients to feel that they have their own tools to solve their problems.

Avi Vieira

Dr. Avi focuses on providing mental health services to members of the LGBTQ+ community and those that love us. This includes allied communities such as Kink and BDSM communities. People who identify as LGBTQ+ often face struggles that cisgender heterosexual people don’t. • Coming out to parents, spouse, partner(s), children, friends, family, classmates, coworkers, community members • Dealing with discrimination or bullying • Exploring sexual orientation or gender identity

Current evening appointments available! After 15 years working in some of the biggest agencies and outpatient clinics in Arizona, I know what works and what doesn't.

Whether you strive for sobriety, aim to moderate, or use drugs or alcohol to cope with other struggles, I'm here to provide you with the help you deserve in a safe and supportive environment.

Emilee Stoll

Are you feeling lonely and like you don't have any one to confide in? Are you going through a life transition and not sure how to move forward? Maybe you are feeling overloaded and need help managing it. If you answered yes to any of these, then this is the right place for you! I help my client's feel heard, rediscover their power, learn how to build a community of support, and reframe narratives to make it easier to move forward in life.

Ayla Rajabally

As a therapist with ADHD and autistic symptoms, I can help you identify and create systems that will give you the structure you need to thrive. I have had many struggles throughout my life being neurodivergent and have a unique perspective on how to reframe and work with our needs rather than against them.

Amanda Leno

Our clients come from a wide range of backgrounds but all have one thing in common - they've made a step in a direction to better themselves. Some have been in therapy for years and just need to check in once periodically while some are in crisis and needing more intensive support. Regardless of the level of severity of need everyone deserves to be heard and understood so that they can be and do better.
