Therapists in Cave Creek, AZ

My name is Lauren Fawley, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters degree in community counseling. I have been a counselor with Betterhelp for over four years. Prior to becoming an online counselor, I worked as an outpatient therapist for five years in the diverse city of Phoenix, AZ. I'm happy that while I no longer live in a major city, online counseling provides me the opportunity to continue to work with people from all backgrounds. My experience comes from working with adults with general mental health, addiction, family concerns, and other relationship problems. I've had the experience to work with people in the short-term, for instance to support them through a major life event or difficult relationship situation. I've also worked with people in the long-term to help manage and recover from depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, and trauma and abuse. I strongly believe in every person's potential to grow and change for the better, whatever that may look like for you! Our therapy will be directed by you, meaning we will work together on your unique and specific needs. I am trained in motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapies, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy. If you have never heard of any of that, please know that all you need to know when entering into therapy is that you will be treated with respect and that what you say will be kept in confidence. I am really grateful that I get to listen to people's stories for a living; above all, I will work to understand and empower you! I sincerely hope to hear from you.

Hi, I am Erin McDaid. I have been working for over eight years as a clinical therapist with adults, older adults, and older adolescents. I use a goal-oriented therapy style, focusing on areas of strength or need that are determined by the client. My style is no-nonsense and direct. I use a wide variety of skills and techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, narrative therapy, and motivational interviewing. I often assign homework for clients to complete between therapy sessions (however, I try not to make it complex or overwhelming). I do not believe in stereotyping, labeling, or stigmatizing people. I welcome working with people of all faiths, genders, sexual orientations, political affiliations, and ethnicities. At an initial interview clients should expect to discuss with me their background (how they grew up, what they have done since high school, any relationship status), their current symptoms, any drug or alcohol use or history, any legal history, and their hopes for what they will get from therapy. During this discussion I will work to clarify any questions that occur to me and to reassure the client that both the client and I are understanding the client’s needs and history. We will also discuss what the specific issues are that brought you to therapy. Be ready to be open and forthcoming. Clients may leave their initial session with a simple homework assignment that will begin to move them forward with their treatment.

I strive to create a safe environment where you feel welcome to discuss the difficult areas in your life. I build trust to help strengthen our therapeutic partnership. I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in Counseling. I have 6 years of experience working in the mental health field. I am a Nationally board certified, Licensed professional counselor working with teens and adults. I empower individuals and families to achieve goals and create healthy relationships. If you are having difficulty managing pain, feeling overwhelmed, struggling with insomnia or dealing with grief and loss; we will work together to face these challenges. I believe every individual has within themselves the capacity for growth, change, and positive thinking. I believe that instilling hope is the foundation for healing. I utilize strength-based and trauma-informed care. I will help you with pain management, decreasing anxiety and regulating mood, navigating life changing events, improving positive thoughts, and processing grief and loss.
