At this time, I am choosing to work only with Individual men, men of color and members of the LGBTQIA+ community - ***including those questioning*** Our first understanding of ourselves comes from the first people we know. From there, the other relationships we participate in tend to reflect those aspects of ourselves previously learned. I specialize in successfully treating the presenting symptoms of childhood trauma. Including and often self-limiting: substance abuse, social and intrapersonal anxieties, clinical, situational and abandonment depression, and the often self-sabotaging and socially unacceptable yet still ubiquitous unresolved rage. As a California and Arizona Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I am privileged to work with a variety of highly intelligent and uniquely talented people, who, due to a lifetime of psychological, spiritual and philosophical pain are often the last to be aware of their authenticity as their true value. The kind of pain that breeds overwhelming feelings of anxiety & depression; encourages thoughts of confusion & discourages the truth in one’s potential or abilities. All of which lends itself toward self-destructive behaviors that double down as “proof” of our unworthiness.

We live in a world where it’s easy to get so caught up in the doing that we lose touch with the being. We struggle with defining our values, deciding how we want to fit into the world, and finding the qualities and attitudes that we resonate with. But therapy can help us rediscover our authentic self, our best self, and find internal consistency with who we want to be and how we show up in our lives. I focus on helping adults navigate the complexities of life, particularly those impacted by trauma, anxiety, and unhealthy boundaries. I believe that true healing begins with understanding your values, honoring your experiences, and cultivating self-compassion.

I beleive that each stage of life is a transition and that each human struggles in this process. I beleive this can show itself through anxiety , depression , confusion and more. This is why I choose an integrated approach in treatment. My love for treating the whole self, led me to using a multitude of sensory interventions, art , play, horticulture and experiential therapies in my practice. I believe there is no one intervention or modality that is best suited for one population but that each session is tailored to specific needs. I use a positive Psychology approach that allows me to focus on the flourishing of human nature. I beleive each person has an abundance of strengths and I want to help you identify them. I love working with substance use and offender populations and love to see people expand their minds and come back to life and start really living. However my experience is with high acuity clientele. therefore, I I have knowledge and skills in almost every area.

I believe that experiencing mental health symptoms does not define who you are. No matter the impact on your life, the ability to cope during crisis can determine how quickly you return to healthy mental functioning. I have learned that in our society, some strive to have approval from others, while many struggle with intrusive thoughts or abnormal behaviors stemming from experiences with various traumas, abuses, lifestyles or identities. As an LPC I want to provide a safe haven for all populations, in a setting where judgment is nonexistent and the person is placed before the symptom by using an eclectic style tailored for each individual need. I graduated with a Master of Science in clinical psychology, with a specialization in clinical counseling in January 2019. I have experience with homelessness, child welfare, acute child and adolescent therapy, families, couples, adolescents, children as well as adults and substance use disorders. In both the community and within for-profit behavioral health institutions.

I have been a behavioral health counselor for over 20 years. My start in this profession came from my career as an educator in middle and high schools. The need for therapeutic counseling was great and I extended my education to earn an MA in Educational Counseling and then completed supervised therapy to get my Licensed Professional Counselor license. My experience is therapy and in raising our family, is that individuals generally know what they need to do to make significant behavior changes. What we almost always need is accurate information and supportive relationships. Relationships does not always mean family members. The circle of support comes from counselors, teachers, neighbors and friends. I try to be a part of the positive support system for all of my clients. A bit about my life in Arizona: Raising our children in a rural community has been one of the best decisions we have made as parents. All of our children were involved in 4H and sports. They have gone on to raise amazing children and we are proud of their accomplishments. My husband and I are enjoying our retirement and I work hard to manage my counseling practice so that we have time for coffee on the back porch and travel to visit our family.

Hi there! I’m Lucy Koerner, and I’m so glad you’ve taken a moment to explore what I offer at Humble Angel Counseling. It takes tremendous courage to reach out for support, and I want you to know that this step marks the beginning of a meaningful journey toward healing. Life can feel overwhelming, and you might find yourself navigating the discomfort of social situations, where the weight of expectation feels heavier than the joy of connection. Perhaps you've experienced the familiar letdown of hoping that your next cup of coffee will finally ignite the energy you've been searching for. These feelings are valid, and you’re not alone in this. In our time together, we’ll focus on the heart of your experiences—the emotions and patterns that may have become obstacles to your joy and peace.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Arizona rather than a city like Phoenix?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Arizona from Tucson to Mesa! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Arizona.

Will my therapist take Surest (formerly Bind)?

Yes! If you use Surest (formerly Bind) you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Surest (formerly Bind) you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

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.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

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.

What to expect during your first session?

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.
