Hello!!! I'm John Ely--formally, John N. Ely, Ph.D., LPC--informally, "John" or "Doc". I'm an old man--76 years old--with a doctorate in counseling from Marquette University granted in 1980 and somewhat over forty years of experience as a therapy provider, supervisor, trainer and director. I retired from same about ten years ago but have continued since in a small, limited telepractice (I live in a very remote small community in Mammoth, AZ, a former mining town for what was then Phelps-Dodge and is now Freeport-McMorAn) which remains the main source of employment of its residents). I would best describe myself as a general practitioner but with somewhat of a specialty in assisting fellow human beings who are in distress, desire help reducing it and desire a collaborative partnership in doing so.

I am Bi-lingual, (Spanish) and have been practicing for 13 years. I have worked with teenagers, adults, and couples. I do not work with children due to my lack of training. My experience entails working with addictions and various disorders. I believe in both therapy and medication and am cultural competent to utilize as resources. My heart is working with trauma and am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe that my job is to have my clients get to the point where they are no longer needing my services. That's right, to get myself fired!

I am a licensed therapist with over 23 years of experience helping teens and families navigate social anxiety, ADHD, and autism spectrum challenges. I specialize in working with bright but overwhelmed adolescents who struggle with emotional regulation, executive functioning, and social confidence. Many of the teens I see are intelligent and capable, yet anxiety, procrastination, or social misunderstandings interfere with school and relationships. What may look like defiance or lack of motivation is often overwhelm. I help teens understand how their brain works so they can stop seeing themselves as broken and start building practical skills. My approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy and structured executive functioning strategies. I focus on helping teens manage anxious thoughts, improve follow-through, strengthen emotional control, and build authentic social confidence. Sessions are supportive but goal-oriented. I believe teens benefit from both empathy and clear direction. Parents are an important part of the process. I provide guidance on reducing power struggles, responding effectively to anxiety-driven avoidance, and creating structure that works for ADHD and autism. My goal is not only symptom reduction, but long-term growth and independence. I am committed to helping families move from frustration and tension toward clarity, confidence, and steadiness.

Born and raised in Arizona. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Phoenix. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis in Learning and Pedagogy from Northern Arizona University and my Masters of Social Work from Arizona State University. I’m a practitioner who believes healing doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. I’m deeply curious about people, their stories, their patterns, and the small moments that shape who they are. I became a therapist because I’ve always been drawn to the spaces where people get real. I saw how powerful it can be when someone feels truly seen, heard, not fixed, not judged, just understood. Therapy, to me, is a collaborative process: a place to unburden yourself and release what’s been weighing on you. Therapy is a place to reconnect with yourself and build tools that actually fit your life. Outside the therapy space, I’m someone who appreciates the little things like spending time with family and friends around the dinner table, good coffee, thoughtful books, and finding joy in everyday moments. I bring that same grounded, human approach into my work.

Hello! I’m excited to be a part of the team at Grow Therapy. I’m a licensed clinical psychologist and I completed my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from California Lutheran University in 2016. My background includes working in college/university psychological service centers, an outpatient psychiatric center, and an outpatient treatment program specializing in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). More recently, I’ve completed EMDRIA approved EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) training. Prior to my doctoral training at Cal Lu, I worked at a non-profit community counseling center in Santa Barbara, CA. The way your course of therapy unfolds will depend on a number of things, including your goals for therapy, your strengths, and your history. In our sessions, I will be focusing on understanding your needs and goals, and getting to know you as a whole person. By exploring your current life and personal history, we develop an understanding of why you think, feel and behave as you do. Therapy is a place to focus on yourself, which is a rare opportunity in our extraordinarily busy lives. Therapy can help you solve a specific problem, provide symptom relief, gain more general self-acceptance, as well as create personal change. I work collaboratively with individuals struggling with issues including: Anxiety and Panic, Depression, Emotion Dysregulation, Trauma, Insecurity and Fearfulness, Problems with Alcohol and Drug-Use, Grief and Loss, Self-Acceptance, Stress, Sexuality, Relationship Difficulties, and Peak Performance. I utilize evidence-based techniques including CBT and DBT, and have found through experience that these methods combine well with psychodynamic/insight oriented therapies. My knowledge, experience, and care are dedicated to helping clients meet their goals and live a more fulfilled life.

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 or 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.

Hi, my name is Vienna Aslanian, and I have been practicing as a licensed therapist since the beginning of 2017. I chose to become a therapist after practicing in the field of social work with children and families. Witnessing the trauma and the way that trauma impacted those individual lives caused me to develop an interest in and concern for individuals struggling with PTSD and childhood trauma. Seeing the intergenerational struggles and hearing people's personal stories on the matter made me interested in the field of therapy. I have always enjoyed listening to people's stories and making a genuine connection with someone. I believe in the healing power of therapy and the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I believe in the importance of active listening and supportive guidance. I believe in the importance of empathy and nonjudgment; I value making you feel cared about and understood. I hold myself to high expectations regarding reliability and consistency in order to provide the best support and care possible.

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.

Hello! I have been in practice for 5 years predominantly in the beautiful Flagstaff, AZ area. I am now located in lovely Payson, AZ seeing clients both over telehealth and in person at a gorgeous historic house-office. My background as a yoga teacher influences my work to include a mind-body connection. My overview for therapy is to guide clients with learning more about themselves through talk therapy, practicing CBT and DBT skills, adopting new perspectives, mindfulness practices, and eventually processing trauma and related anxieties in ongoing therapy.

I have been in the psychology field for over 20 years now. I love what I do and helping every client become successful. The relationship between the client(s) and myself is important in achieving the goals we set together. How our past experiences have influenced our current lives is a key issue. I feel that support systems in our daily lives are important to examine. The issues of separation, loss, freedom, dependence and independence are crucial to examine as one leaves home and parental influences. I work with individuals, couples, teens and families. Every session is different because every client is different, as are their problems. I'll encourage you to talk and explore, in a structured way, your feelings and experiences. Whatever the technique or clinical approach, psychotherapy is not a magical cure, it is a process to help you find the capacity for improvement within yourself. Psychotherapy aims to help you gain insight into your difficulties or distress and enable you to find more appropriate ways of coping or bring about changes in your thinking and behavior. Psychotherapy involves exploring feelings, beliefs, thoughts and events, sometimes from childhood, in a structured way to help you do it safely.

Hello, my name is Collette Jones, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana and Arizona. I became a counselor because I believe deeply in the power of being heard and supported during life’s most challenging moments. Therapy is not about “fixing” someone—it is about helping people recognize their own strengths, gain new skills, and feel empowered to create the changes they want in their lives. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, identity concerns, or family and relationship issues. With young clients, I focus on creating a safe, engaging, and age-appropriate space where they can express themselves and learn coping strategies that fit their world. With adults, I often work on patterns of thought and behavior that feel overwhelming or stuck, using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while also drawing from creative and supportive methods. My counseling style is collaborative and compassionate. I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives, and my role is to walk alongside them with guidance, tools, and encouragement. I take time to listen carefully and tailor each session to meet the unique needs of the individual or family. Clients often describe me as approachable, understanding, and genuinely invested in their growth. Whether you are a parent seeking support for your child, a teenager navigating big life changes, or an adult wanting to feel more grounded and confident, I am here to help. My goal is for you to leave each session with a sense of clarity, hope, and practical strategies you can use right away. If you are ready to take the next step, I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

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 Arizona. 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 EAP:Evernorth?

Yes! If you use EAP:Evernorth you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have EAP:Evernorth 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.

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 happens during the first therapy 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.
