Therapists in Arizona

Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I having been working with children, teens and families for the past 18 years. I specialize in birth to 5 development, specifically relating to trauma. For the past few years, I have been serving children, teens, and families primarily dealing with grief, toxic stress and/or trauma symptoms. Though my primary treatment focus is TF-CBT, I am very holistic and modify my approach to the unique needs of each individual/family.

English | español I graduated from the University of Gdansk, Poland (B.A. Psychology), and obtained a Master's in professional counseling from Liberty University, Lynchburg, Virginia. I am licensed to provide professional counseling independently in Arizona, Florida, South Carolina, Virginia, and Texas. I have experience working with individuals from various backgrounds and providing therapy in English and Spanish. Treatment is about finding hope despite the circumstances. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who treats children (ages Zero+), teens, and adults.

I’m Melissa Lapides, and my work centers around attachment. If you’re dating or in a relationship, we’re going to look at how your early experiences shaped the way you connect, protect, pursue, withdraw, or repeat the same patterns over and over. Together, we make sense of why you’re experiencing the challenges you’re having — not from a place of blame, but from understanding. I work with both individuals and couples to help them build more harmonious relationships rooted in emotional safety, secure connection, and real love and intimacy. When you understand your attachment style and nervous system, your relationship patterns stop feeling confusing and start feeling workable. I’m warm, direct, and grounded — think compassionate but honest. I’ll hold space for your pain, and I’ll also gently call you forward when you’re ready. I believe most struggles make sense in the context of your story and your nervous system, not because something is “wrong” with you. My goal is to help you feel more regulated, more connected, and more empowered in your relationships and your life. Healing doesn’t have to be dramatic — it can be steady, real, and deeply transformative.

I’m April Quatrine, LPC, and I believe therapy begins with understanding yourself—not fixing yourself. I work primarily with adults navigating ADHD, autism, AuDHD, anxiety, trauma, and the challenges that can come with feeling different, overwhelmed, or misunderstood. With over 10 years of clinical experience, I’ve worked with individuals from a variety of backgrounds, including those navigating serious mental illness and complex trauma. These experiences have shaped my approach to seeing the whole person rather than simply a diagnosis. I also bring lived experience to my work, which has deepened my appreciation for how much courage it can take to understand ourselves, challenge old beliefs, and begin doing things differently. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and neurodiversity-affirming. I use evidence-based approaches while remaining curious about what works for each individual rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all formula. Together, we’ll explore your patterns, strengths, needs, and goals while developing practical tools you can actually use in your everyday life. I especially enjoy working with adults who have spent years wondering, “Why is this so hard for me?” or feeling as though they need to be someone they’re not. Therapy with me is not about eliminating every difficult emotion or changing who you are. It’s about developing greater self-understanding, self-compassion, and confidence in working with what you’ve got.

Hi! I’m Renee. I’m a clinically licensed social worker, but more importantly, I’m someone who believes that no matter how stuck or heavy things feel right now, you already possess the inner tools to heal. My path to this work was driven by a deep value for human resilience; I’ve always been drawn to the stories we tell ourselves and how, with the right support, we can rewrite them. In our sessions, you won't feel like a case file or a list of symptoms. Clients often tell me after our first meeting that they finally felt heard—not just listened to. I aim to create a space that feels like a deep breath: safe, non-judgmental, and focused entirely on you. While I use trauma-informed and cognitive-based tools, I don't just "apply" them to you. Instead, we work together to uncover your existing strengths and use them as the foundation for your recovery. I view the healing process as a collaborative journey of empowerment. It isn’t about "fixing" what’s broken, but about reclaiming the parts of yourself that may have been lost to life’s challenges. My approach is warm and direct; I’m here to be your guide and your loudest cheerleader as you transform. Outside of the therapy room, I carry these same values of authenticity and connection into my own life, believing that we are all constantly growing. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you discover just how capable of healing you truly are.

My name is Giannina, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and bilingual therapist (English/Spanish) with 10 years of experience. My approach is genuine, down-to-earth, and compassionate. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and provide a safe, respectful space where you can show up as your full self. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way of your peace of mind and work toward building the balance, confidence, and connection you deserve. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR to help clients manage anxiety, heal from trauma, and navigate life’s challenges with more confidence and clarity. I work with adults who may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change—and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Hello, I'm Kim, a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 7 years. I am dedicated to helping adults navigate life's challenges with compassion and understanding, using evidence based care. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, supported, and free from judgement as you work towards healing and personal growth. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and burnout. I utilize a collaborative approach personalized based on your specific goals as everyone has a unique story and needs. With experience in community mental health, private practice, and a district school counselor, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds through a wide range of life experiences.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and approved Clinical Supervisor in Arizona. I believe that therapy works when you feel genuinely heard, supported, understood, and comfortable being yourself. I work with adults and couples navigating life transitions, relationships, anxiety, stress, depression, or just feeling overall stuck or disconnected in life. My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth, combining compassion, humor, and thoughtful challenge to help clients better understand themselves and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Hi, I’m Bianca Chavez, a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Untamed Rose Therapy. I’ve been working in mental health for over 10 years with experience in community mental health, intensive outpatient therapy, and group practice. I became a therapist because I wanted to be the person I didn’t have growing up. Someone who would listen, ask questions, and help me make sense of what I was experiencing without making me feel like something was wrong with me. That experience is what first drew me to counseling, and it’s still a big part of why I love what I do. I currently provide virtual therapy throughout Arizona and offer sessions in both English and Spanish. If you’re more comfortable speaking Spanish, that’s absolutely welcome here. Si te sientes más cómodo/a hablando en español, también puedes hablar conmigo sobre tu vida y tus experiencias con respeto por tu cultura, tus valores y tu historia.

I’m a warm, down-to-earth therapist with more than 15 years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, major life transitions, grief, burnout, emotional overwhelm, and the seasons of life when everything simply feels like a lot. My background is a little different from the traditional therapy path. I’ve worked in schools, community mental health, and crisis intervention settings. I’ve supported veterans, first responders, survivors of trauma and abuse, neurodivergent individuals, parents, professionals, and people facing some of life’s hardest moments. These experiences have taught me how to stay grounded when things feel chaotic and why it’s so important to see the whole person - not simply a diagnosis or list of symptoms. My style is conversational, collaborative, and practical. I’ll give you space to process, but I’m not a therapist who simply nods and asks, “How does that make you feel?” We’ll get curious about patterns, relationships, boundaries, past experiences, and the things that keep showing up in your life. We’ll explore where those patterns came from, how they affect you now, and what you may want to change. I believe insight is only part of the work. Together, we’ll develop practical strategies you can use outside of therapy to manage anxiety, regulate emotions, improve communication, strengthen relationships, establish boundaries, and navigate difficult seasons. You don’t need to know exactly what you need from therapy before you begin. Sometimes it starts with simply recognizing that something isn’t working anymore. My role isn’t to tell you how to live your life - it’s to help you understand yourself more clearly, build skills and confidence, and create meaningful change.

Much of the human experience is shaped by relationships and attachment. Our early attachment experiences influence how we connect, communicate, and relate to others throughout life. When these patterns no longer serve us, they can create distress and disconnection in our relationships. I work with people from all walks of life who want to better understand their attachment patterns, break unhelpful cycles, challenge limiting core beliefs, and improve communication. My goal is to support meaningful change that fosters healthier, more secure, and fulfilling relationships. I am a holistic, person-centered marriage and family therapist with specialized training in attachment theory and relational healing. I support individuals, couples, and families who struggle to feel understood, express emotions, or have their needs met, helping foster safety, connection, and meaningful change. My approach is rooted in the belief that connection is at the heart of healing. When individuals feel seen, heard, and valued, they are better able to access their strengths, build insight, and create meaningful change. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences without judgment and with genuine curiosity. I work collaboratively with clients, recognizing them as the experts of their own lives. Together, we identify patterns, strengthen communication, and develop practical tools that support healthier relationships with others and with oneself. I also believe in the resilience and capacity for growth within every person and family. Even in moments of disconnection, pain, or uncertainty, there is opportunity for repair, understanding, and transformation. My role is not to direct, but to guide, to help clients reconnect with their values, deepen their relationships, and move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.

My goal is to provide a compassionate, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, gain insight, and develop practical tools for lasting growth and healing.

I believe that every person has strengths that can help them move through life’s challenges, even when those strengths feel difficult to access.

I offer a mix of EMDR, IFS informed approaches, CBT, and DBT to help you understand what’s happening inside while also giving you practical tools you can start using immediately. I believe healing happens when we combine insight with action. EMDR and IFS-informed approaches help us work through the deeper emotional layers, while CBT and DBT provide skills for managing anxiety, tolerating distress, and dealing with daily stressors.

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 Christina. As an LCSW with 25 years of experience, I’ve learned two things: human beings are incredibly resilient, and absolutely nobody has it entirely figured out. My approach is a mix of deep compassion, straight-shooting honesty, and a healthy dose of humor—because if we can't laugh at the chaos of life sometimes, what are we even doing? I’ve heard almost everything, I don't shock easily, and I leave the preachy, stuffy therapist vibes at the door. Ultimately, I’m just a human who loves helping other humans untangle the messy, beautiful parts of life without any judgment. Think of me as a guide with a massive toolkit, a finely tuned intuition, and a genuine appreciation for your unique story. I look forward to meeting and working with you!"
