EMDR Therapists in Arizona

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.

Hi, I’m Ebonie. I’ve been a therapist for 14 years, and my style is down-to-earth, compassionate, and real. My goal is to create a safe, honest space where you can finally resolve the issues that are weighing you down. I don’t just sit back and nod — I’m engaged, I ask meaningful questions, and I help you get to the heart of what’s really going on. Every client is unique, and I adapt my approach to fit your needs. Whether you’re working through anxiety, healing from trauma, facing a life transition, or simply feeling stuck, I’ll bring both practical tools and proven methods to support your growth. Above all, I show up consistently and authentically, and I never take your trust for granted. One approach I use is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing). It’s a highly researched therapy that helps people process painful memories so they no longer feel as overwhelming. With gentle tools like eye movements or tapping, your brain can reprocess old experiences in a healthier way. The memory doesn’t disappear, but the emotional weight it carries often does. EMDR has been shown to help with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and more. We always go at your pace, and I’ll walk with you step by step. Book an appointment today.

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.

Greetings! I have been in the mental health field for about 20 years in various capacities and more recently dedicated as a therapist for almost the last 7 years. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that has primarily served Arizona communities. My earlier training has prepared me for work with young children and families who have experienced trauma. I have also served adults, young to middle- age addressing college and career related challenges and also in supporting older adult needs such as navigating life transitions, parent-child relationships, estrangement and relationship conflict. I also focus on anxiety, depression, grief, chronic medical needs/illness, such as caregiver fatigue, dementia/Alzheimer's, terminal illness, and women's health (from pregnancy to women's medical needs in older adults).

Hi, I'm so glad you're here. Taking the first step toward therapy can be one of the hardest. I welcome clients from all walks of life and have a special passion for supporting women of all ages, teens, young adults and children. My approach is warm, compassionate, and person-centered. I believe in meeting you where you are and honoring the unique experiences that have shaped your story. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and understood as we work together toward healing, growth, and meaningful change. If this feels like the right fit for you, I'd be honored to connect and schedule an intake. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to help determine if we're a good fit.

As a therapist dually licensed in counseling and substance use treatment, I believe every person carries unique strengths, stories, and untapped potential. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your needs, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as CBT, EMDR, DBT, IFS, ACT, Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and practical life-skills development. I’m passionate about helping clients understand how early experiences and relationships shape the way they see themselves, navigate challenges, and connect with others—and I’m continually inspired by the powerful ways therapy, supported by neuroscience, can help the brain and body heal. Outside the therapy room, I find joy in traveling, lifelong learning, reading, and cherishing time with my friends and family. I’m also deeply connected to the mind–body relationship and believe that true healing honors both. And on any given day, you’ll likely hear me mention my love of animals—especially my beloved corgis—who remind me daily of the importance of presence, curiosity, and play.

My background in gender-based violence prevention and higher education advocacy further inform my compassionate and collaborative approach to helping clients foster resilience and balance in their lives.

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.

Humility, integrity, compassion, kindness and courage are a few biblical principles that I adhere to in my professional and personal life. Working within the addiction/recovery community for the last 5 years, I have discovered that each person strives to be the best version of themselves. Adhering to a person-centered holistic approach, I engage with clients utilizing MI, DBT, CBT, EMDR and a trauma-informed approach to promote healing. I discovered that ‘Time, Patience and Effort’ is a key formula to lasting change, personal growth, building new foundations, self-discovery and awareness. If you are interested in learning more (about yourself) in a safe and nonjudgemental environment, please reach out. Today is the first day of the rest of your life, what will you do different?

Hello! I am a trauma informed mental health therapist and have been practicing for over 30 years. I received my Master's degree in clinical social work from Arizona State University. I have worked significantly with issues of child abuse, domestic violence, trauma, child loss, grief, anxiety and depression. I work with adults, teens, and children age 5 and up. I have provided counseling services to individuals, groups, couples, and families.

I have been in the mental health field for over 8 years working as a caser manager for kids 6 to 17, working at a rehab facility, working as a substance abuse counselor in a prison and running my private practice. I offer EMDR, Trauma Informed CBT, DBT, Solution Focused, and Mindfulness based approaches. Are you riding the hot mess express? When is the last time you had a good cry and not because you are angry? Do you feel like a robot and/or don't know what you want and need? Do you know exactly why you do what you do and still can't make any changes? Have you got in trouble because you used unhealthy coping skills and wants to learn how to do different? I have helped people from many different backgrounds and lived experiences get to a point where there they can live the life they want and not the one their past has created for them. I only have two rules for my clients: "you aren't allowed to say sorry because you didn't do anything wrong" and "you are allowed to tell me no". I use whatever method my client needs to help either process the past or learn new skills in the present. Not all therapy requires you to process the past.

DR. MARY ANNE GUNTER, PhD, LPC, LMFT, CFTP, CATP Welcome, where a caring, respectful, and supportive approach awaits you. I'm Dr. Mary Anne Gunter, and I earned both a MS and PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy. I enjoy very much working with women's issues, trauma, parenting challenges, boundaries, communication skills.

You don't need to have it all figured out before you begin — that's okay. I know that first step can feel like the hardest one to take. All you need is the willingness to take it. I help adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, chronic health conditions, pain, or major life changes reconnect with themselves and feel more in control of their lives. I began my social work career in 2006 in medical social work, hospice, and home health, supporting individuals and families through chronic illness, serious health concerns, loss, and difficult transitions. These experiences shaped my understanding of the deep connection between physical health and emotional well-being. I became a mental health provider because I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, supported, and empowered. I'm passionate about helping people regain a sense of themselves, find hope, and develop tools to move forward through trauma, stress, and difficult circumstances. Sometimes life simply becomes too much, and it's okay to say, "This is hard," and ask for help.

I primarily work with adults navigating life transitions, chronic health conditions, pain, medical trauma, and traumatic experiences. My approach is integrative and individualized, drawing from EMDR, Brainspotting, clinical hypnosis, IFS-informed and parts-based approaches, Ego State Therapy, Imaginal Nurturing, and Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), tailored to each client's needs and goals. I believe wellness is holistic — we don't get sick one way, and we don't get well one way. Mental and physical health are deeply connected, and I'm here to support your whole-person well-being through counseling, so you can get back to being you and enjoy life again.

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.

Ready to break free from the weight of trauma, anxiety, or overwhelming grief? If self-doubt, social anxiety, or past pain have kept you stuck, EMDR therapy offers a proven path to lasting healing and growth. Together, we’ll work to release emotional barriers so you can reclaim your peace, purpose, and power. In a safe, compassionate space, I provide personalized care tailored to your unique journey. Using EMDR, we’ll address unresolved trauma, ease anxiety, and bring lasting relief from emotional pain. My mission is to support your growth, clarity, and confidence so you can step into a life of freedom and fulfillment. Your healing journey starts here — let’s take the first step together.

My goal is to create a supportive, grounded, and collaborative space where clients feel empowered to grow at their own pace.

Hi, I’m Jennifer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I work with teens and adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or simply ready for something in their life to change. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up as you are without feeling judged or pressured to have everything figured out. My style is warm, kind, and grounded. I genuinely enjoy getting to know people and hearing their stories. I want to understand the whole you, not just the struggles that brought you to therapy. I’ll listen, ask questions, and offer support and guidance while we work together to figure out what feels most helpful for you. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. What works well for one person may not work for another, so I’m comfortable with a little trial and error. We’ll talk about what is working, what isn’t, and adjust along the way. I want therapy to feel like something we are doing together, with your needs, goals, strengths, and experiences guiding our work. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable being yourself in our sessions. You don’t have to come in knowing exactly what to say or where to start. We can figure that out together. My hope is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood while helping you recognize your strengths, learn more about yourself, and make meaningful changes in your life.

I am a compassionate, trauma-informed Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to creating a safe, non-judgmental space for healing. I specialize in helping individuals process trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship challenges. My core approach combines EMDR therapy with a deeply person-centered style—gentle, collaborative, and respectful of your unique pace and experiences. I also integrate DBT skills and other evidence-based methods as needed. You are not broken; your symptoms are understandable adaptations, and together we can support your natural healing process.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing telehealth services in Arizona, California, South Carolina, and Virginia. I offer individualized, evidence-based outpatient psychotherapy designed to support each client’s unique needs and goals. My clinical experience includes working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, and attention-related concerns such as ADD/ADHD. I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental therapeutic space where clients can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, focusing on helping individuals develop insight, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with their inner strengths and resilience. Together, we work to identify meaningful goals and develop a personalized treatment plan that supports lasting growth and change. In my work, I value a whole-person approach to wellness, recognizing the strong connection between mental, emotional, and physical health. I encourage clients to consider how factors such as stress, lifestyle habits, self-care practices, and nervous system regulation influence overall well-being. Integrating these elements into therapy can help clients build sustainable strategies for managing challenges and improving quality of life. My goal is to support you in growing through life’s challenges, healing from difficult experiences, and moving toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. I am committed to being responsive, supportive, and accountable throughout the therapeutic process while fostering an environment that is inclusive, respectful, and affirming of all identities, cultures, and backgrounds.
