Teenagers Therapists in Arizona

My name is John Kowite, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arizona. I have over six years of experience supporting clients with anxiety, ADHD, autism, addiction and dual diagnosis, with specialized training working with couples and neurodiverse clients. I strive to create a nonjudgmental space, incorporating mindfulness and creative expression in my work with clients, to help them name and acknowledge their feelings and experiences, heal and feel better.

Hi! My name is Tyler, and it's nice to meet you. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. I adopt a real, warm, and conversational approach to how I practice and believe that the relationship between patient and provider is one of the most important factors to determine successful treatment outcomes. I live in Arizona with my wife and two kids. I love photography, animals, and traveling.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adults, adolescents, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, and major life transitions. My work is grounded, relational, and deeply attuned to the nervous system, with a focus on helping people feel safer in their bodies, clearer in their minds, and more connected to themselves and others. I take an integrative, trauma-informed approach to therapy, meaning I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. Instead, I draw from relational, psychodynamic, somatic, and polyvagal-informed frameworks to tailor therapy to your unique history, strengths, and goals. For many clients, our work involves understanding emotional patterns, healing the impact of past experiences, and learning practical ways to regulate stress and overwhelm in daily life. A central part of my work is creating a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I move at a pace that respects your readiness and capacity, especially if you’ve experienced trauma, medical challenges, or long-standing stress. Alongside deeper insight work, I often incorporate psychoeducation and concrete tools so therapy feels both meaningful and useful beyond the session. Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and deeply present. My goal is not to “fix” you- I fundamentally believe that you're not broken ( and we haven't even met yet). My job is to help you better understand yourself, strengthen your inner resources, and build a life that feels more regulated, connected, and aligned. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply, therapy can be a place to pause, reflect, and begin meaningful change.

Seeking help for mental health can often feel overwhelming, but my goal is to make your counseling experience a comfortable one. I am a bilingual, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Masters degree from Ottawa University and 7 years of experience working with youth and adults. I bring a unique perspective to my practice as I live successfully with ADHD, have 17 years of recovery from substance abuse, and am a proud member of the LGBTQ+ family. Beyond my professional life, I am a father, a brother, a mentor to many youth, and a humble servant to my community. Buscar ayuda para la salud mental puede resultar abrumador, pero mi objetivo es que su experiencia de terapia sea cómoda. Soy consejero profesional licenciado (LPC), con una maestría de la Universidad de Ottawa y 7 años de experiencia trabajando con jóvenes y adultos. Aporto una perspectiva única a mi práctica, ya que convivo con el TDAH, tengo 17 años de recuperación de la adicción a las drogas y soy un orgulloso miembro de la comunidad LGBTQ+. Además de mi vida profesional, soy padre, hermano, mentor de muchos jóvenes y un humilde servidor de mi comunidad.

My name is Elizabeth and I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the states of Texas and Arizona. I am also a certified school counselor and transitioned to full-time mental health counseling after working as a high school counselor. I have been working as a counselor for 10 years, primarily in the school setting. I helped my students with issues such as family problems, academic struggles, relationship issues, trauma/abuse, ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, perfectionism, grief, and suicidal ideation. Before working as a counselor, I was an elementary teacher for 6 years. I have experience working with adults and adolescents. I love seeing my clients understand themselves better and improve their mental health. I feel comfortable counseling people from a variety of backgrounds, especially those whose backgrounds are different than my own. My entire professional career has been spent with a primarily Hispanic population, but I am comfortable with other cultures, as well. I am a big fan of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Solutions-focused therapy, but I try to cater my counseling to each client, so I often incorporate different counseling philosophies as needed. I believe my clients are the experts on their own lives and I want to work with them to improve their contentment, coping skills, and mental health. I believe it is important and beneficial to have a nonjudgmental, unbiased person to talk to. This is one of the best parts of counseling. I often use humor to lighten the mood when counseling. I find this helps grow my relationships with my clients. Congratulations on making the first step towards getting help. I would love to work with you.

Christopher Dane Keil is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Helper, UT who works with individuals and couples across the lifespan. He supports clients facing trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction, especially when intense emotions—like fear, shame, or low self-worth—feel overwhelming or disruptive. Christopher’s approach is warm, validating, and practical.

I started in education in 2010 and I transitioned to counseling in 2020. I enjoy helping clients reach their goals, feel better, and be happier and healthier in their daily lives. If ever there is something that does not work, I like to try and find a better approach that fits. My approach to therapy is solution-focused and problem-solving. I want to be an ally in helping to find realistic solutions to struggles you are having. I want therapy to be a process that is helpful, empowering, successful, and attainable.

I am a queer, non-binary clinician with ADHD, and I am passionate about helping people to live their most authentic and meaningful lives. I take a radical feminist and anti-capitalist approach to therapy, exploring the impact that oppression and discrimination has on one's mental health and well-being. I believe each client is the expert of their own lives, and I work in collaboration with my clients to find the treatment approach that works best for them.

I specialize in ERP for clients experiencing symptoms of OCD and HRT for clients experiencing BFRB's and tic disorders. I am eclectic in my approach to therapy and some of the alternate treatment modalities that I use include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution focused brief therapy, mindfulness based therapy, etc. I hope to build a strong and trusting relationship with all of my clients and I believe that therapy should be a safe and non-judgmental environment where client's can work toward their goals.

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.

Hi, my name is Mark. Thank you for considering me as your therapist. It would be my pleasure to get to work with you! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist; that means that not only do I work with individuals who experience all kinds of mental health challenges, but I also specialize in systemic, or relational therapy - working with couples, families & groups. I am a Presidential Member of the American Association of Christian Counselors. If you want your faith included in your therapy, please let me know; your sessions will be as "spiritual" as you'd like, and no more. I have been providing therapy and counseling since 2016, and most recently worked as the therapy manager for a clinic that has four locations. Though I have worked with all populations (youngest 5 years old and oldest 94), young kids have trouble sitting still in front of a camera. Children under the age of 15 would be better served in an office setting, in my opinion. I have been with my amazing wife for over 35 years now, and have two wonderful adult children. I enjoy sports, music and all kinds of "outdoorzie" stuff. I most of all just enjoy time with my family. Most of my clients profess to sincerely enjoy working with me; I tend to connect with my clients on a deeper level, and in a more meaningful way, than some other therapists. Many say that they or their children work better with me than any other therapist, counselor or doctor they've experienced. I am humbled and immensely grateful for their kind words. I offer my clients a soft place to fall in their hurts and struggles while providing them a firm place to stand in their healing and growth. Always, in a judgment-free way.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Tucson, Arizona. I received my Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Brigham Young University and have been practicing for 25 years. While my focus has been working with adolescents, I also have extensive experience with all ages of adults. I bring a conservative and compassionate approach to the therapy session. You and your time is valuable and I want to respect that. Clients consistently give me excellent ratings and see marked improvement in their lives.

With over 20 years of clinical experience, I have dedicated my career to walking alongside individuals through their healing and growth journeys, beginning as a child and adolescent therapist before expanding my practice to work with adolescents and adults. My approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and my training as a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, always adapted to honor each client's unique story and strengths. I believe deeply in advocacy; both as something I practice on behalf of my clients and as a critical skill I help them develop for themselves, because sustainable wellness requires individuals to have the tools, voice, and confidence to advocate for their own needs. Beyond the therapy room, I extend this commitment to advocacy through my consulting work, partnering with organizations to build psychologically safe, inclusive, and equity-driven environments where all people can thrive.

Hello and welcome. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arizona. I provide general mental health counseling for teens (13+) and adults with a specialization in treating Substance Use Disorders (SUDs). While you don't need to have a substance use issue to see me, I do have personal experience navigating those challenges. While my approach to treatment is eclectic based on individual needs, I generally employ interventions from CBT, DBT and Motivational Interviewing. I received my BA in Literature from the State University of New York in 1995 and my MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from University of Phoenix in 2021.

Hello, I'm Erika. I hold a master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University and a B.A. from Park University in Parkville, Missouri.

My varied work experiences include serving the community as a Child Protective Investigator with the Department of Children and Families, a Juvenile Probation Officer with the Department of Juvenile Justice, and a Discharge Planner/Mental Health Tech, and Utilization Review Specialist within a Psychiatric Crisis Stabilization Unit. I have provided outpatient, inpatient, IOP, PHP, individual, couples, family, and group therapy at both mental health community centers and addiction residential treatment facilities. Additionally, I have participated in both Drug Court and Mental Health Court practicing forensic psychology.

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.

Meet Mike Arieta, LICSW Hello and welcome. I’m Mike Arieta, a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and teens through life’s most complex challenges. Since 1995, I’ve worked across diverse settings—from foster care and homelessness to adoption and refugee support—and have been practicing clinically since 2011. My therapeutic approach is body-based and trauma-informed. I believe our bodies often speak before our minds can make sense of what we’re feeling. This philosophy guides my work with clients navigating trauma, PTSD, and transitions that require deep emotional resilience. I integrate movement-based and somatic strategies to help clients reconnect with themselves and their communities. Currently, I’m completing my Doctor of Social Work degree at Tulane University, where my research focuses on trauma recovery and evidence-informed practices that foster healing. I also hold advanced training in adoption competence and provide support to foster youth, adoptive families, and caregivers navigating complex systems. Therapy, for me, is a collaborative journey. I’m honored to walk alongside my clients as they reclaim their stories, build strength, and move toward meaningful change. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about my work—I look forward to connecting with you.

My name is S. Bryce Bennett, Psy.D. I am a clinical psychologist that practices in both clinical forensic settings. I also have extensive experience providing both group and individual therapy. I specialize in trauma; I am a Certified Adolescent and Child Trauma Professional, a Clinically Certified Trauma Professional, and a Certified Family Trauma Professional. In addition to trauma, I also specialize in treating juveniles with sexually maladaptive behaviors; pornography concerns; adults with sexual paraphilias or sexual behavior concerns; and have experience treating individuals with a variety of other mental health diagnoses. I also have extensive experience with working with clients that have an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis and have worked with multiple youths and adults with this diagnosis. During the COVD-19 pandemic, I successfully transitioned my groups to telehealth, and then returned to in-person groups in ’23. I also successfully transitioned my individual client caseload to telehealth, and have continued telehealth practice since this time. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and baking, painting, listening to music or Dungeon and Dragons podcasts, and spending time with my family.

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 am a proud Indigenous woman. I have over 20 years of experience working as a leader, psychotherapist, clinical supervisor and coach.

If you can read this, you made the first step. Congratulations. Seeking therapy is hard. Most people delay and tell themselves that whatever they are experiencing must be the way life is. Chances are if you have reached the point to begin exploring therapy, counseling can help make your life better. While therapy is often hard, it can be an enjoyable and uplifting experience as well. I believe that you cannot laugh without a combination of insight and relief. You can expect some humor in most sessions. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 20 years. In that time I have worked with men, women, teens, and families on a wide variety of issues. Sometimes that work simply involved helping them through a particular incident or life change that overwhelmed them. Other times our work together centered around longstanding issues of depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. In addition to traditional cognitive behavioral therapy, I also offer a fourth-wave therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). I have found this technique to be highly effective in helping people with trauma and or anxiety. Our minds and bodies are connected. Anyone who has experienced a tight neck and shoulders or an upset stomach when they were stressed knows this. EFT uses acupressure (done by the client) and cognitive interventions to provide fast and effective relief. With over 20 years of clinical experience, I am ready to help you through the challenges you are facing. In addition to counseling, I also provide vocational testing, coaching, and consulting. I provide both Christian and secular counseling depending on the needs of my clients. For clients with high level confidentiality concerns due to corporate or clearance issues, there are ways we can do EFT without you ever speaking out loud about events.

As a seasoned therapist with nearly 20 years of consecutive licensing across multiple states, I specialize in a diverse array of client issues, including men's issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, aging and chronic illness challenges, sexual addiction, trauma and PTSD, anger management, clinical depression, and anxiety. My approach is built on an affirming and caring nature, allowing clients to feel safe and understood in our collaborative work. I utilize various therapeutic modalities, including person-centered therapy, CBT, and ACT, alongside group therapy, to tailor my interventions to each individual’s unique needs. My strong listening and speaking skills facilitate deep connections with clients, empowering them to explore their struggles, find meaning, and ultimately create positive changes in their lives. The impact of my work is reflected in the growth and resilience of my clients, as they navigate their personal journeys toward healing and fulfillment.
