Aetna Therapists in Arizona

Hello, I'm Kim, a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 7 years. I am dedicated to helping adults navigate life's challenges with compassion and understanding, using evidence based care. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, supported, and free from judgement as you work towards healing and personal growth. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and burnout. I utilize a collaborative approach personalized based on your specific goals as everyone has a unique story and needs. With experience in community mental health, private practice, and a district school counselor, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds through a wide range of life experiences.

Hi, I’m Bianca Chavez, a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Untamed Rose Therapy. I’ve been working in mental health for over 10 years with experience in community mental health, intensive outpatient therapy, and group practice. I became a therapist because I wanted to be the person I didn’t have growing up. Someone who would listen, ask questions, and help me make sense of what I was experiencing without making me feel like something was wrong with me. That experience is what first drew me to counseling, and it’s still a big part of why I love what I do. I currently provide virtual therapy throughout Arizona and offer sessions in both English and Spanish. If you’re more comfortable speaking Spanish, that’s absolutely welcome here. Si te sientes más cómodo/a hablando en español, también puedes hablar conmigo sobre tu vida y tus experiencias con respeto por tu cultura, tus valores y tu historia.

I’m a licensed professional counselor with over 12 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families in navigating emotional, relational, and life challenges. I take a mind-body-spirit approach to therapy, integrating evidence-based practices with a holistic focus that honors the connection between emotional well-being, physical awareness, and personal meaning. My work is grounded in creating a supportive, collaborative space where clients can build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward healing and balance in a way that aligns with their values and life goals.

Feeling stuck in the same patterns even though you know better? Maybe you’re overthinking, navigating relationship struggles, recovering from betrayal, or simply exhausted from holding everything together. Therapy with me is real, collaborative, and judgment-free. Bring what’s on your mind, and we’ll figure out what to do with it together. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation, not like an interrogation or a checklist. Sometimes you need someone to help you connect the dots, recognize patterns, or look at something from a different perspective. Sometimes you just need a place to talk things through and hear your own thoughts out loud. I’m comfortable being a sounding board, sitting with the hard stuff, or getting a little more direct when that’s what the moment calls for.

Hi there! I’m Julie, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with 30 years of experience working in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. Whether you're struggling with persistent worry or intrusive thoughts, coping with difficult life transitions, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others, I provide compassionate support tailored to your unique needs.

Much of the human experience is shaped by relationships and attachment. Our early attachment experiences influence how we connect, communicate, and relate to others throughout life. When these patterns no longer serve us, they can create distress and disconnection in our relationships. I work with people from all walks of life who want to better understand their attachment patterns, break unhelpful cycles, challenge limiting core beliefs, and improve communication. My goal is to support meaningful change that fosters healthier, more secure, and fulfilling relationships. I am a holistic, person-centered marriage and family therapist with specialized training in attachment theory and relational healing. I support individuals, couples, and families who struggle to feel understood, express emotions, or have their needs met, helping foster safety, connection, and meaningful change. My approach is rooted in the belief that connection is at the heart of healing. When individuals feel seen, heard, and valued, they are better able to access their strengths, build insight, and create meaningful change. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences without judgment and with genuine curiosity. I work collaboratively with clients, recognizing them as the experts of their own lives. Together, we identify patterns, strengthen communication, and develop practical tools that support healthier relationships with others and with oneself. I also believe in the resilience and capacity for growth within every person and family. Even in moments of disconnection, pain, or uncertainty, there is opportunity for repair, understanding, and transformation. My role is not to direct, but to guide, to help clients reconnect with their values, deepen their relationships, and move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.

Welcome! I'm Susan Schneider, a "seasoned" professional (which for me means that I have experienced a rich, full and savory life), I believe that I can truly walk with you down many paths and challenges! Some of my own personal paths that I have traveled include marriage, sexual intimacy and mis-matched libido concerns, parenting concerns, separation and divorce, death of a spouse, blended family life issues, empty-nesting, career changes, family of origin issues, caregiving aged parents, pre- and post-menopausal transitions, and everything else in-between. As your therapist, I will come alongside you and invite you to explore the possibilities of YOU. Whether you are struggling with sexual intimacy, relationship challenges or life changes, I will create a gentle and safe place where you can sit, breathe, reflect and gain clarity about who you are and what you desire. I would be honored to work with you as you embark on this journey. If you’re ready for me to help you tell your story, I’m ready too!

Hi, I'm Rina. I've been a practicing social worker for nearly 25 years and have been independently licensed since 2012. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with adolescents, adults, couples, and older adults in a variety of settings. My experience includes supporting homeless and high-risk youth, foster children and their families, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and active-duty members of the United States Air Force. I believe everyone deserves a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling, and I know that looks different for every person. Life brings unexpected challenges, and you don't have to navigate them alone. My goal is to provide a supportive, respectful space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make the changes that matter most to you. I believe that connection, trust, and mutual respect are the foundation of successful therapy. Together, we'll build a relationship where you can feel comfortable being yourself as we work toward your goals.

I specialize in relational trauma, including domestic violence and childhood trauma, as well as anxiety and depression. I work with individuals navigating life transitions, helping them break unhealthy patterns, build resilience, and move forward with clarity and confidence. My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct. I integrate trauma-informed care with evidence-based practices like CBT and EMDR. I meet clients where they are while gently challenging patterns that no longer serve them, helping them build insight and practical coping skills. I am supportive, honest, and straightforward. I create a nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to share openly, while also offering clear feedback and guidance. I balance empathy with gentle challenge to help clients move forward. I help clients identify patterns, process past experiences, and develop practical strategies for change. Together, we set clear, realistic goals and track progress. My focus is on helping clients build confidence, improve relationships, and feel more in control of their lives. Please note: I provide individual therapy only and don't offer couples counseling.

My name is John Kowite, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arizona. I have over six years of experience supporting clients with anxiety, ADHD, autism, addiction and dual diagnosis, with specialized training working with couples and neurodiverse clients. I strive to create a nonjudgmental space, incorporating mindfulness and creative expression in my work with clients, to help them name and acknowledge their feelings and experiences, heal and feel better.

I’m a warm, down-to-earth therapist with more than 15 years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, major life transitions, grief, burnout, emotional overwhelm, and the seasons of life when everything simply feels like a lot. My background is a little different from the traditional therapy path. I’ve worked in schools, community mental health, and crisis intervention settings. I’ve supported veterans, first responders, survivors of trauma and abuse, neurodivergent individuals, parents, professionals, and people facing some of life’s hardest moments. These experiences have taught me how to stay grounded when things feel chaotic and why it’s so important to see the whole person - not simply a diagnosis or list of symptoms. My style is conversational, collaborative, and practical. I’ll give you space to process, but I’m not a therapist who simply nods and asks, “How does that make you feel?” We’ll get curious about patterns, relationships, boundaries, past experiences, and the things that keep showing up in your life. We’ll explore where those patterns came from, how they affect you now, and what you may want to change. I believe insight is only part of the work. Together, we’ll develop practical strategies you can use outside of therapy to manage anxiety, regulate emotions, improve communication, strengthen relationships, establish boundaries, and navigate difficult seasons. You don’t need to know exactly what you need from therapy before you begin. Sometimes it starts with simply recognizing that something isn’t working anymore. My role isn’t to tell you how to live your life - it’s to help you understand yourself more clearly, build skills and confidence, and create meaningful change.

Hello, and congratulations on taking this step. Reaching out takes awareness, courage, and a real commitment to change — it requires to invite someone into your struggles. I've spent over 25 years working in behavioral health as a clinician, clinical supervisor, and clinical director. My career has taken me from a faith-based agency in New England to a community behavioral health center in northeastern Arizona, where I eventually led clinical services for 12 years, to providing counseling at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base — an experience that deepened my respect for military members and their families. I now own a private practice in Sahuarita, Arizona. My work focuses on helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. I also welcome working with military veterans, people of faith, and individuals and families facing serious illness. In the spring of 2025, I was diagnosed with cancer. I have since completed treatment and am now cancer free — and that experience gave me a much deeper appreciation for what it means to face something that reshapes your world. I don't see therapy as simply treating a diagnosis. I see it as working with you as a whole person — your strengths, fears, hopes, values, pain, and goals. I'll listen carefully, but I'll also be active: helping you identify patterns, understand difficult thoughts and emotions, build coping skills, and take meaningful steps forward. I won't claim to be the expert on your life. My role is to walk alongside you and help guide the change process at a pace that feels respectful and manageable.

Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes we need extra support to navigate its challenges. My work focuses on helping adults and teens manage anxiety, life transitions, trauma, crisis prevention, and maternal mental health. Using a solution-focused approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients develop practical tools to create meaningful change. While I take a goal-oriented approach, I believe therapy should also be a space where you feel heard and supported. I listen carefully, bring empathy to every session, and even incorporate humor when it feels right—because healing doesn’t always have to be heavy. If you’re looking for a therapist who will help you move forward with practical tools, compassionate guidance, and a bit of humor along the way, I’d love to connect.

Hi, my name is Vienna Aslanian, and I have been practicing as a licensed therapist since the beginning of 2017. I chose to become a therapist after practicing in the field of social work with children and families. Witnessing the trauma and the way that trauma impacted those individual lives caused me to develop an interest in and concern for individuals struggling with PTSD and childhood trauma. Seeing the intergenerational struggles and hearing people's personal stories on the matter made me interested in the field of therapy. I have always enjoyed listening to people's stories and making a genuine connection with someone. I believe in the healing power of therapy and the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I believe in the importance of active listening and supportive guidance. I believe in the importance of empathy and nonjudgment; I value making you feel cared about and understood. I hold myself to high expectations regarding reliability and consistency in order to provide the best support and care possible. I attend training regularly on the best and most effective practices/therapeutic modalities.

Feeling overwhelmed trying to keep your thoughts, sleep, and day-to-day life on track? A racing mind and exhausted body feed each other—anxiety keeps you up, and sleepless nights make everything harder the next day. Tasks pile up, focus slips, and you start to wonder why you can't keep up like everyone else. It can feel isolating, especially when you look like you have it together on the outside—leaving you to question your abilities, your relationships, even who you are underneath it all. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, ADHD, and insomnia. My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies, but it's always shaped around you—who you are, what matters to you, and everything that's brought you to this point.

My name is Susan Charney MSW,LCSW with a diversified experiential backround. I work with those individuals ,couples and families that are compliant and realize that everyone can use some help at some point. It takes courage to realize help is needed. My job in the first session, is to be transparent and to establish trust.Thank you for choosing me as your therapist.Therapy is most effective when it is active, collaborative, and focused on meaningful change. In my work, clients are supported in exploring what is and isn’t working in their lives and relationships, while also developing practical strategies they can use day to day. Sessions are engaging and interactive, with thoughtful questions, feedback, and guidance designed to help move things forward in a clear and purposeful way. With more than 25 years of experience, support is offered to individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, family conflict, grief and loss, anxiety, life transitions and , traumas.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an important foundation, however, care is tailored to each person and situation rather than relying on a single approach. The focus is not only on understanding the roots of a concern, but also on identifying concrete steps that can lead to improvement in daily life and relationships. Experience also includes work with individuals facing extraordinary stress, trauma, grief, and crisis, including those impacted by events such as September 11, care provided at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, frontline healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, and individuals affected by the war in Israel. These experiences have reinforced the importance of meeting people where they are, offering nonjudgmental support, and helping them find practical ways forward during some of life’s most challenging moments.

Welcome! I'm passionate about helping others find healing and wholeness. My desire is to help you know and understand yourself deeply, find healing from the past, and move from a place of "stuckness" to living a rich and meaningful life. I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, and poor self-image. I have extensive experience treating complex trauma and substance abuse, and as a Certified DBT Therapist, I specialize in treating Borderline Personality Disorder. I'm also a Certified Religious Trauma Specialist. I believe that one of the most underrated experiences is loss, including the end of significant relationships. I can help you navigate the grief, find meaning in the loss, and build hope moving forward. I believe that change best happens when we learn to accept where we are while simultaneously challenging ourselves to do better. My desire is to accept you wholly as you are, without judgement.

Hi, and welcome to First Step Therapy. I understand how hard it can be to take that first step toward healing and you don’t have to do it alone. I offer compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for adults dealing with anxiety, past experiences, and life challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, and attachment theory. I’m here to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll work toward healing and meaningful personal growth.

My journey into therapy began with a desire to help the hurting individuals I worked with in a group home, and a genuine passion for helping others find strength through life’s most difficult moments. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people facing a wide range of challenges—experiences that have shown me just how powerful and transformative therapy can be. These moments have only deepened my commitment to walking alongside others on their path to healing. I’m continually inspired by the belief that every person holds the capacity for growth, resilience, and change. We can change and heal. Sometimes we just need a little help along the way. I treat adults age 18 and up.

We'll use a whole self-approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness and art to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back.

Hi, I’m Ezra a licensed therapist with availability for telehealth appointments. I’ve worked with adults and teenagers for years: dealing with trauma, managing crises, finding hope in depression, and supporting people whose nervous systems feel stuck in overdrive. My goal is straightforward: help lower the volume on that intense emotional pain so you can find peace of mind and function better.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), I help men navigate the tension between high-demand careers and the challenges that can arise in their relationships and personal lives. If you're feeling overwhelmed by stress, disconnected from the people who matter most, or caught in unhealthy coping patterns, I provide a direct, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can better understand what's happening and create lasting change. Together, we'll identify the underlying issues driving these patterns, strengthen emotional awareness, rebuild trust and connection, and develop practical tools to help you live with greater integrity, purpose, and confidence.
