CBT Therapy in Arizona

I’m Nichole Wojtanowski, a strengths-based licensed therapist who provides gender-affirming, LGBTQIA-affirming care to adults across the life span. I help people facing anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions using evidence-based approaches like ACT and CBT, delivered with warmth, clarity, and practical skills. I offer flexible telehealth and values-centered work that focuses on your strengths and what matters most to you.

As a licensed mental health counselor and professional counselor with 20 years of experience, I provide trauma-informed psychotherapy, faith-based counseling, and specialized evaluations for clients in Washington and Arizona. My passion is creating a safe, sacred space for those who feel overlooked or misunderstood, helping individuals, couples, and families to heal from anxiety, depression, and trauma. I meet you where you are, blending therapeutic expertise with compassion to help you find your strength and begin again.

I’m a husband and dad to three boys (ages 16, 13 and 8), and family is a huge part of my life. We live on a 20-acre homestead where we raise chickens, goats, pigs, and cows, and we spend a lot of time in the garden. Life on the farm keeps me grounded and reminds me daily of the value of patience, hard work, and slowing down to enjoy what really matters. Faith and community are also central for me. I’m actively involved in my church, and I see my work as an extension of that calling to walk alongside others. I’ve always had an entrepreneurial streak. Alongside my therapy work, I am starting a tech start-up, I’ve run an online store, and I even dabble in Bitcoin mining. I enjoy the challenge of building things from the ground up and thinking outside the box. I also read a lot, and my libertarian leanings have been shaped by writers like Murray Rothbard. The conservative/libertarian focus on freedom, personal responsibility and low time preference connects deeply with how I approach life and therapy: we’re at our best when we are free to live with responsibility in society, own our choices, and pursue truth apart from coercion. When it comes to therapy itself, I integrate my faith with practical, proven methods. I use Christian Counseling, CBT, Reality Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the Gottman Method to help people grow emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. My goal is to give you a space where your values are respected, your faith is honored, and you feel equipped to face life’s challenges with hope and clarity. If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the importance of faith, family, freedom, and practical tools for change, I’d love to walk with you on your journey.

Troubles in your relationship or conflict in the family can make you feel helpless or overwhelmed. Creating a daily routine using strategies that ground you and support moving forward in areas where you feel stuck. Improving your outlook on life to see past the stressful events that feel overwhelming. Talking through challenges and learning different ways to look at something in order to make progress, even when feeling depressed and anxious.

I’m passionate about approaching therapy in a client centered way, and want each session to take you exactly where you need in that moment.

What are the tension points? Let's talk about those and develop a daily routine that grounds you and allows you to feel more in control of your life. I am here to listen and encourage you as you talk to support your healing and recovery.

I am independently licensed in 3 different states as a Marriage and Family Therapist and independently licensed in 1 state as an Addiction Counselor. I believe everyone has a "gift," something that they are called to do, and Counseling is mine. I care about my clients and have the innate ability to "zone" in on what is going on with them. I use Emotional Focus Therapy, Strength-Based, Trauma-Informed, Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but it really depends on the clients I am seeing. I admire anyone who wants to make a change and is willing to reach out and ask for help. I am here for you if you are that person. **** It's very important to remember to provide a 24-hour notice or a minimum of 2 hours (if an emergency comes up) notice if you are not going to make your session, so that you are not charged a no-show fee. Although the appointment planner may allow it, please do not schedule appointments more than 2 weeks out. My later times are limited and I would like all my clients to have a chance to one of these slots, plus it cuts back on no-shows since we do not know if we will be able to make an appointment that far in advance. Thank you for your understanding.

Hello and welcome! I am a licensed trauma therapist who specializes in working with adult survivors of childhood trauma, PTSD, and military trauma who are ready to heal from the past and start living more fully in the present. My experience includes over 19 years of helping clients heal from emotional pain in various settings, including outpatient and inpatient mental health clinics, medical centers, court, and government programs. It is an honor to be a therapist! The clients I currently work with are usually experiencing upsetting memories of things that have happened in the past, bad dreams, negative thoughts/feelings, low self-esteem, and/or feeling unhappy in their daily life and relationships.

My goal as a therapist is to help you to get in the driver's seat of your own life. A history of trauma, experiencing depression, anxiety or ADHD, coping with life changes, and dealing with the stress of relationships, family, work, school and all the challenges that life throws at us can lead us to feel out of control and demoralized. I want to help you to better understand yourself, your thoughts and your mind, as well as teach you coping skills to empower you to live your healthiest, happiest life. I know that there is no cookie cutter approach to therapy, and I want to get to know you as an individual. My approach is trauma informed and I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing to help you to overcome unhealthy patterns and feel more secure and confident. I know it can be intimidating to start therapy. I like to use a sense of humor and warmth to build a great relationship based on mutual respect and understanding so you feel comfortable to share and be yourself. I hope that I get a chance to know you and help you to work through any difficulties that you are facing and build a better life.

I've had a great deal of experience working with addiction, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and dual-diagnosis issues. My depth of experience has given me great insight and allows me to effectively engage and address and provide positive outcomes for clinically complex issues.

I am warm, DIRECT, solution-focused, AUTHENTIC, mildly confrontational and 100% Raw and Real. I won't lie to you or co-sign lies you tell yourself. I will gently reflect what you are not saying and what you are not showing so that you can explore for yourself. The intention of services provided to present and future clients are to support them in navigating through the pain. The only way out is through. Not above, below, or around the pain but through it. The good news is you are not alone and don’t have to do it alone. Utilize the resources offered in this collaborative effort in creating the life (mind, body, & soul) you deserve.
