Therapists in Buckeye, AZ
While many of us associate counseling services with childhood trauma or treatment of mental health conditions, therapy can be beneficial for so much more. Therapy can be a powerful tool used to improve interpersonal relationships, cope with life’s transitions, find solutions for everyday challenges, and gain more insight into your own mind. Many find that therapy helps them to build a more fulfilling life.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Buckeye, AZ may offer more options than many surrounding rural communities, but finding the right therapist can be challenging even in a city. One reason for this is that within the wider field of mental health, there are a number of evidence-based approaches. Like traditional medicine, psychology has specializations. What you want or need may not necessarily be available nearby. Also, a non-judgmental environment helps support the success of therapy. Changing relationship dynamics in a therapeutic alliance, a mismatch of personality, and other factors can detract from the feeling of a supportive environment. Counting on a therapist who checks all your boxes in your area is not guaranteed. This is where online therapy can help.
For over a decade, online platform BetterHelp has offered access to a number of online-based therapy providers who have experience in a broad range of therapeutic approaches, and with experience working with diverse populations. Just fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your needs. And because the client/therapist relationship question can be so important to success, you may feel privileged to change therapists at any time for no additional cost.
Online therapy is also a convenient solution for many busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, or text messaging options you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home.
If you have been thinking about therapy for any reason, reach out to BetterHelp to get started, or check out the list of Buckeye-based online therapists below for more information.

17 years offering treatment
Hi, I'm Ginger. I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Arizona (LMFT) with more than 17 years experience working with individuals, couples and families of all ages. I specialize in helping others in the areas of stress/anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma/abuse, and motivation/self-esteem/confidence. I am highly collaborative, working alongside clients to identify their treatment goals and tailoring treatment interventions to each specific treatment goal. This means I work alongside you to prioritize the issues you want most to improve and then focus on strategies developed with you to improve your functioning and coping. I approach therapy with a variety of techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy, solutions focused therapy, person-centered therapy, and psychoeducation. I believe we all have the capacity for personal growth and development - it takes both courage and motivation to be vulnerable enough to let someone else be a part of that growth and development. Therapy is safe place for the self-reflection and honest conversations that support personal development by learning new skills and expanding on the strengths, resources and supports available. I describe therapy as remodeling a house that has already been built while you're living in it and I'm your contractor, there to provide professional guidance, feedback and support to help you through the process. Life can be hard, you're not alone, and things can get better. Don't hesitate to reach out to see if I'm the right therapist for you.

Do you often find yourself struggling to sort out your thoughts and feelings about events in your life? Have there been times in your life when you have wondered if you have made the right choices or if there are other possibilities for you? We have all experienced life changing experiences that have shaped us into the people we are today. Sometimes, a listening ear is all we need. Other times, more in-depth exploration of thoughts and feelings is needed before you can feel better. Whichever situation fits for you, I am here to help. I have been in practice for over 20 years and have had experience working with a diverse group of individuals, couples, and families. Together, we have explored trauma events and their impact on individuals and families, family relationships, couples’ issues, and depression, anxiety, infidelity, spiritual dilemmas, and other experiences that have an effect on day-to-day living. My experience extends to adults of all ages, including an older population and caregivers. I am open to working with couples who are experiencing issues, particularly in the area of communication. Working with individuals who are in the early stages of dementia or Alzheimer's Disease are a new and interesting population for me. For me, counseling is a passion. Being a counselor is a calling, it encompasses me as a person and as a professional. It is my hope that you will contact me for counseling so that I can be your companion on your journey to a more peaceful and satisfying future.

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 anxieties and fears that are inhibiting us from being the best versions of ourselves that we are longing for. In a nutshell I work to help my clients identify and then let go of old habits and ways of being that no long serve them and help guide them in the allowing process of letting new ways of being that are more healthy in. Together I begin to assist the client with untangling the knots of beliefs that have held them back from truly knowing the peace and contentment. 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 knowing. I also rely strongly on EMDR as a modality to help client with the root of their traumas and held beliefs that cover the growth that they are desiring most. 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.
