I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with over 13 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, authenticity, and practical support. My background includes working in crisis settings, community mental health, private practice, schools, and with athletes, giving me a well-rounded understanding of the unique struggles people face throughout different stages of life. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a safe conversation where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. Rather than simply focusing on symptoms, I work alongside my clients to identify underlying patterns, build resilience, develop practical coping strategies, and create lasting, meaningful change. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including trauma-informed care and EMDR, while tailoring treatment to each person's individual needs and goals. My ideal clients are adults and older adolescents who are ready to improve their emotional well-being and create a healthier, more fulfilling life. I frequently work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, low self-esteem, ADHD, postpartum concerns, stress, and relationship challenges. I also enjoy supporting athletes, professionals, caregivers, and individuals who feel overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life. Clients often describe me as approachable, genuine, encouraging, and easy to talk to. I strive to create a space where people feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow at their own pace. My goal is to help every client leave therapy feeling more confident, capable, and equipped with the tools they need to move forward with hope.

Hi, I’m Scott, a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, substance use, and relationship challenges. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in painful patterns, overwhelmed by emotions, or unsure how to move forward despite wanting real change. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin creating a different way of living. I also specialize in men’s mental health and supporting veterans facing the unique stressors of service, transition, and identity. I provide a nonjudgmental, supportive space where you can safely explore your experiences while gaining insight into thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns that may no longer serve you. My trauma-informed approach is compassionate and collaborative, balancing empathy with gentle, honest feedback to support meaningful change.

I’m Eric Henley, a licensed marriage and family therapist and the founder of REtherapy Center. I work with thoughtful adults and couples who often understand their challenges intellectually but still feel caught in familiar emotional, relational, and protective patterns. My practice is active, compassionate, and direct. I help clients slow down what is happening beneath the surface so they can better understand how attachment, trauma, family history, and past experiences continue to shape present emotions, perceptions, and choices. Rather than simply talking about the problem, we work to recognize the cycle, create greater emotional safety, and practice more intentional ways of responding. I specialize in helping couples navigate recurring conflict, emotional distance, betrayal, intimacy concerns, and uncertainty about the future of their relationship. I also support adults working through trauma, anxiety, relationship wounds, and patterns that have become difficult to change alone. My approach integrates Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, family systems, cognitive approaches, and somatic awareness. I offer in-person therapy and Discernment Counseling in Arizona for adults and couples throughout the state.

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.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, and ongoing life stress. I believe therapy should feel steady and purposeful — a place where you can speak honestly about what’s heavy while also making meaningful progress. My style is calm, grounded, and direct. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and help you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we explore both where those patterns began and how they’re affecting your relationships, work, and sense of self today. I integrate EMDR, CBT, and ACT to address the root of distress while also building practical skills for emotional regulation and clearer decision-making. I value depth, but I also value structure — therapy should not feel aimless. I tend to work well with people who hold a lot together for others yet quietly carry internal stress, self-doubt, or unresolved experiences. I believe you don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. When someone is ready to look beneath the surface, not just manage symptoms but understand and shift what’s underneath, that’s where meaningful change begins.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with master’s degrees in Counseling Psychology and Applied Behavior Analysis. I take an evidence-based, integrative approach to therapy, drawing from CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR to support clients navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, and other life challenges. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults, including individuals with ADHD and autism, as well as those managing chronic pain or health conditions. Many of my clients are also navigating life transitions, relationship stress, emotional regulation challenges, or substance use concerns. My background allows me to combine practical, skill-based strategies with deeper emotional work, helping clients not only gain insight but also build tools they can use in everyday life. I focus on creating a collaborative, supportive space where meaningful, lasting change feels both achievable and sustainable.

Hello, Thank you for reviewing my profile. Briefly; I am Licensed Naturopathic Doctor, a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor I work with adult professional women dealing with anxiety, depression, past unresolved trauma, grief, stress and relationship issues. My philosophy is that we need positive human beings in our lives, to 'see' us and bear witness to our lives. In order for us to be fully human, we need at least one supportive individual who validates the part of us that needs healing. We need meaningful experiences to help us navigate this journey called life. My training as a Naturopathic Doctor affords me a lens to also consider, incorporate and integrate diet & lifestyle practices for your overall well-being. So, if you are tired of being tired, anxious, sad, depressed and you're just going through the motions, feeling stuck in dysfunctional patterns that drain you; AND you are willing to do the work to get well, then you need skilled, compassionate support to help you get unstuck and get your life back on track, so that you can experience purposeful living. As our paths intersect her, I start with the intention that you to "prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers" 3 John 2.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety disorders, ADHD, autism, and developmental differences, helping people process painful experiences, regulate overwhelming emotions, and shift patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative—combining practical tools, honest conversations, and a little humor along the way. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. I offer an inviting, non-judgmental space while also being real and direct when it’s helpful. You deserve support and real tools for change. If you’re considering therapy, I’d be glad to connect and see if we might be a good fit.

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
