Anxiety & Sleeplessness Fear, insomnia, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, we work towards increasing sleep time, decreasing panic or anxiety attacks or symptoms, fully understanding where overwhelming emotions stem from, and how to move towards being your best self. Relationships Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Therapy sessions are held with both partners and is a supportive place to discuss issues and solutions to better strengthen your relationship. Trauma and Healing Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger after post-traumatic events. We work together through these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through life’s challenges alone. I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I work with individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions. Sometimes life can feel heavy, confusing, or isolating. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop healthier coping strategies, and build the tools you need to move forward with greater confidence and balance.

Whether you’re navigating a difficult time or simply looking to better understand yourself, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

Hello, my name is Collette Jones, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana and Arizona. I became a counselor because I believe deeply in the power of being heard and supported during life’s most challenging moments. Therapy is not about “fixing” someone—it is about helping people recognize their own strengths, gain new skills, and feel empowered to create the changes they want in their lives. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, identity concerns, or family and relationship issues. With young clients, I focus on creating a safe, engaging, and age-appropriate space where they can express themselves and learn coping strategies that fit their world. With adults, I often work on patterns of thought and behavior that feel overwhelming or stuck, using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while also drawing from creative and supportive methods. My counseling style is collaborative and compassionate. I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives, and my role is to walk alongside them with guidance, tools, and encouragement. I take time to listen carefully and tailor each session to meet the unique needs of the individual or family. Clients often describe me as approachable, understanding, and genuinely invested in their growth. Whether you are a parent seeking support for your child, a teenager navigating big life changes, or an adult wanting to feel more grounded and confident, I am here to help. My goal is for you to leave each session with a sense of clarity, hope, and practical strategies you can use right away. If you are ready to take the next step, I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

I believe that each one of us has the answers to our problems inside of us. However, sometimes we need someone on our journey to help us unlock those answers by asking the right questions---things you may not have considered, presenting proven strategies, and psychoeducation. Although, you will make strides with the energy and effort you give, the number one predictor that one will improve is the quality of the therapeutic relationship. I hope to provide a place of warmth, compassion, and acceptance in which you feel empowered and free to approach any concerns. I am here to help you along on your journey. I am a licensed mental health counselor in Arizona, Florida, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Utah. I graduated from Florida Atlantic University with an Educational Specialist degree in Mental Health Counseling. I also earned a Master's of Art from Roosevelt University. I have experience working with youth and their families as well as adults. The theoretical framework that I usually draw from is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I also apply Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing Techniques as needed. I address trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, interpersonal skills, self-esteem, anger, problem-solving, and decision-making. In conjunction with therapy, I believe that exercise, proper nutrition, and good sleep hygiene are an integral part of overcoming mental health concerns. Change, even positive change can be challenging and uncomfortable. I hope to provide the necessary support as a champion of change.

Hi, I’m Lynnette Piña, the owner of Creative Waves Therapy and a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience working in the mental health field. I know that reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating (and honestly, even figuring out where to start can feel like a lot), so my goal is to make that first step feel a little less overwhelming. I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up as your full self, no judgment, no need to have the “perfect” words, and no pretending that everything is fine when it isn’t. Sometimes life can feel heavy, and it can be difficult to know how to move forward. Whether you’re carrying painful experiences, navigating relationships, or trying to understand yourself in a deeper way, you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you begin your healing journey.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Arizona. I received my Masters Degree from Ottawa University and have been practicing for 12 years.

My name is Romy Rodriguez and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have worked with various populations with mental health and substance abuse struggles. I also provided Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to adolescents and their families who were living in homeless shelters and were in the court system. I have also worked with women with Post-Partum depression and struggling with substance abuse. Two of the modalities that I work with are Brainspotting and EMDR. Brainspotting focuses on identifying specific eye positions (“brainspots”) that connect to unprocessed material in the brain. By maintaining focused attention on these spots, clients are able to access, process, and resolve underlying issues at a deeper neurological level. This approach is especially effective for trauma, anxiety, and emotional regulation, allowing for profound healing in a safe, attuned, and client-centered space. I also specialize in EMDR. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help clients process and heal from trauma, distressing memories, and negative beliefs. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I guide clients through structured phases that use bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements) to help the brain reprocess stuck or overwhelming experiences. This allows painful memories to lose their intensity and supports the development of more adaptive, empowering beliefs. EMDR is highly effective for trauma, anxiety, and other emotional challenges, offering deep and lasting relief in a safe, supportive, and client-centered environment.

For more than twenty years, I've sat with people at the edge of what they thought their lives could be — helping them break free from anxiety, depression, trauma, and the relationships and transitions that keep them circling the same painful ground. What I've learned in all those years is this: you are not broken. You are, more often than not, simply disconnected — from your own knowing, from what matters, from the quiet intelligence that has been trying to reach you all along. My work weaves the science of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with the ancient wisdom of Vedanta and mindfulness — traditions that have mapped the human heart for millennia. Together, they offer more than symptom relief. They offer a homecoming. But there is a deeper current running beneath everything I do. My private practice includes shamanic work, animal communication, and soul-level intuitive channeling — ways of listening that reach beyond words, beyond technique, into the territory where real transformation lives. Clients often tell me they feel seen in a way they've never experienced: not just heard, but known. This is not therapy as maintenance. This is therapy as awakening. When you work with me, you get a guide who is fully present, deeply attuned, and grounded in something far older and larger than any single method — someone who trusts that your life is trying to become something, and knows how to help it get there. Ready to stop coping and start living? Let's talk.

Do you struggle with trust? Intimacy? The fear of being rejected? Anxiety, anger, guilt, shame, sadness, self-sabotaging behaviors, substance abuse? These are all common responses to abandonment, trauma, and sexual abuse. There is hope. You can heal. I am living proof that therapy works. I will provide you a safe space built on trust, compassion, reassurance, and optimism based on evidenced-based practice theories and interventions. My goal is to partner with you capitalizing on your strengths to create insights to the why's and how's of your life. Together we can create new healthier thinking patterns and behaviors so you can have the life you have always wanted and deserve. I have experience working with adolescents, individuals, couples, those with addictions, hospice patients, and families, in a variety of settings.
