Therapists in Arizona

Hello! I am glad to meet you! I am Austin, and I graduated with a PhD in Psychology from Capella University. Before then, I received a master’s degree from Troy University and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Paris VII. I am a licensed professional Counselor (LPC) in the states of Arizona and South Carolina. I am also an independent licensed addiction counselor (LAC) in the State of South Carolina. I have been licensed for over 15 years and have worked with many people and populations to feel better and live their best life! The pressures of being everything to everyone can be overwhelming. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families in residential and outpatient settings. I have provided treatment for individuals of all ages with a variety of conditions such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I have had successful experience in addressing Stress, Anxiety, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Depression, Relationship issues, Addictions, Parenting issues, Adjustment issues/Coping with life changes, self-esteem, and Anger management. I have also worked with adolescents to prevent out of home placement or a run with the Department of Juvenile Justice. Life can be full of feelings of depression, anxiety and all the in-between. You want to find peace and relief from the things that are holding you back and I am here for you. If you are looking to address stress and reduce symptoms, my practice is one of acceptance. My/our time together is free of judgment. You do not need to be fixed; you just need to rediscover the tools that you already have within you.

Before I worked as a counselor I worked as a technical writer and software tester, and then as a caseworker in social services. I have also been a studio engineer with much work in audio and video editing and got to spend a year on the film festival circuit for a documentary I made about being an independent musician. All of those experiences I feel are helpful in working with clients from different backgrounds and perhaps in understanding that most of us want to find something meaningful in this life and often feel that we still don't know what our real calling.

I use CBT, positive psychology, and a person-centered approach to help people understand their thoughts, regulate emotions, and respond more calmly to stress. Sessions focus on building trust, strengthening emotional awareness, and supporting individuals in finding their own voice while feeling respected, heard, and guided – not corrected or pushed. Over time, you’ll notice you become steadier, more confident, and clearer about what you want and need. Reactions soften, communication improves, and people feel better about their decisions. When you feel on top of things, you have space to grow and find your voice. There really is a better path.

We do not need to struggle any longer against our old conditioned patterns... we must only recognize them for what they are. Hello! My name Is Natalie Knight and I am an LCSW who is passionate about utilizing the strength of the therapeutic alliance as a support to enter into an exploration of what is beckoning for our attention at any given moment. I believe once we learn how to meet our emotions that we can clear ourselves of old past traumas or new ones. I have been doing this work for the past eight years professionally. I use a person-centered approach in my counseling practice which emphasizes that the client is the best authority for his/her own life and that the answers to his/her questions are inside of them. I serve as a mirror to reflect to the client the inherent wisdom that we uncover during our therapy sessions. I also rely strongly on EMDR as a modality to help client with the root of their trauma. This process has been quite effective for me in my search for understanding and I hope to be able to share it with others who feel called to this type of work with me as well.

Life can sometimes leave you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of what comes next. You may be going through a major change, dealing with grief or depression, or simply trying to better understand yourself and your emotions. Reaching out for therapy can feel difficult, and my goal is to make that first step feel a little easier. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself and talk openly about what you are experiencing. I often work with people who want to manage anxiety and stress, strengthen their coping skills, improve their relationships, and find a clearer sense of direction. I see therapy as a team effort. Together, we will explore what is getting in your way, recognize the strengths you already have, and develop practical tools you can use in everyday life. My approach includes looking at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect while also focusing on your strengths and the solutions that can help you move forward. We will work toward realistic, lasting changes at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Florida. I'm experienced working with individuals, groups, couples and families. When working with an individual, couple or family I assess and addresses the entire family history, the sum of its parts, and not simply the individuals that comprise it. The distress or problem that originated may not solely be within an individual but a natural reaction to a family dynamic that creates the distress. By using Family Systems Theory I'm able to help the Client have a deeper awareness of their personal conflicts, how to resolve them, and live a more fulfilling life without addictions. I have a Bachelor’s from the University of Arizona and a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California. Im experienced working with Adolescents, LGBTQ+ Community, HIV/AIDS, Domestic Violence, Sex and Love Addiction, and 12 Step Recovery.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for ten years now. You will always know yourself better than I can or will. From a philosophical and theoretical standpoint. I am overwhelming more of an attachment theorist, and have been known to use existentialism from time to time to help make sense of something. I guess the question that remains though is; can a butterfly flap it's wings in Brazil and cause a tornado in Kentucky, or are we all simply just products of our childhood and mirrors of our parents traumas? The duality of life. Attachment Theory vs. Chaos Theory. Both have value. I digress. My goal is to provide a petridish in which you can explore your self. Safe. Contained. Yet completely in your control. The paradox being, you likely already have what you need. I'll sit with you while you find it. I can give you my clinical opinion, or diagnosis, and recommendations along the way as well if you'd like that. I can just sit and listen. I can play devils advocate. My job is to listen, empower, observe, and provide feedback when requested.

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.

I want my clients to feel that they have accomplished or overcome something during their time in therapy. Note I do charge for No show and Late Cancellations $70.00

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. I am specially trained in working with challenges facing blended families. I am trained in EMDR, CPT, TF-CBT. I also provide CPT-SA, which addresses sexual trauma. I provide an IFS-informed EMDR approach. I'm a Recognized Provider in the "Smart Stepfamilies" program, a Certified Facilitator in Prepare Enrich premarital-marital program, and a Certified Facilitator in the "One Heart, Two Homes" coparenting curriculum, useful for presenting a certificate to a family court judge. I was the national recipient of the Feldman Award by NCFR, and have completed exhaustive research on macrosystemic issues impacting the incarcerated parent and family system. I am a Clinical Fellow with the American Association of Marriage & Family Therapy.

Seeking support takes courage, and finding the right therapist is an important first step. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable being yourself and working toward meaningful change. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Arizona with over 12 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. Throughout my career, I have worked in community mental health centers, integrated medical clinics, and private practice, giving me experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of mental health concerns. I have experience treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, ADHD, grief and loss, parenting concerns, relationship challenges, and many other emotional and behavioral issues. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with a major life transition, or looking to improve your overall well-being, I am here to support you. I incorporate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, psychoeducation, and strengths-based interventions. Every client is different, and I work with you to develop a treatment approach that best fits your goals and preferences. My hope is that you leave each session feeling supported, empowered, and equipped with tools to help you move forward with greater confidence and resilience. I would be honored to be part of your journey toward improved mental health and a more fulfilling life.

With nearly 20 years of experience, I help individuals and couples navigate anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity, and life transitions. I have a special interest in supporting LGBTQ+ clients and creating an affirming space where you can show up authentically. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for change, we’ll work together to better understand what’s holding you back, strengthen your relationships, and help you move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I have lived a long and colorful life. Like everyone else, I've made good and bad choices and learned from each. I have 22+ years experience in the mental health and substance abuse treatment field. I DO NOT JUDGE, AT ALL, PERIOD. I can be both blunt and gentle as appropriate. My role is to offer another perspective, a way to see life more fully and function better, no more, no less. I don't pretend to have all the answers but only one slice of wisdom. I just share what can help someone. Some people are not yet ready to be helped. Yet for those who are feeling lost on life's journey and are willing to listen and learn, I'm here to assist. My life work can be summed up in three words, "offering people hope.
