For those trying to find a therapist, Chandler AZ has a potential for creative and viable solutions for mental healthcare, but it may not be so simple to access them. There are a number of evidence-based therapy approaches that work more or less well with specific issues. Finding the right counseling services often means finding the best therapeutic practice for your mental health challenge, as well as one that is personally satisfying. What you need may not always be nearby, even in a metropolitan area. 

With online therapy through an online therapy platform like BetterHelp, you get access to over 30,000 mental health professionals that specialize in everything from healing family conflict to managing behavioral issues. By filling out an online questionnaire, you’ll be matched to a therapist that meets your individual needs. And because the therapeutic relationship can be so essential to client success, if you feel that you need to switch therapists you can do so at no extra cost. 

Online therapy may also be a solution for people who may not be able to get to in-person therapy appointments. Professionals with busy lives and packed schedules may benefit from attending sessions online. Counseled students too can find time between study and classes to speak to their online therapist. And for individuals who are struggling to overcome the effects of trauma, limiting what they can handle as far as attending in-person sessions, a video chat or phone call can be the difference between getting therapy or avoiding it altogether. 

For citizens of Chandler, AZ seeking viable solutions for managing mental health, whether for emotional conflict, relationship challenges, relationship distress, or simply to work on personal growth, BetterHelp can help find the right therapist match. Therapy can be a piece of the holistic puzzle when it comes to leading a fulfilling life, by addressing life-satisfaction and mental well-being.

I am an independently licensed counselor in Arizona with 7 years of experience providing psychotherapy and over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, phase of life issues, and career challenges. My primary area of expertise is trauma and grief. My counseling style is casual and conversational. I believe that a good therapeutic relationship is the key to success in therapy. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach tends to favor Rational Emotive Behavioral therapy and EMDR, but I fully believe that it is important to tailor my approach to meet the needs of my client. Participating in therapy can be such a rewarding experience. Just having another person to genuinely listen and hold space for you can be so cathartic. Therapy can be a big step, and if you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I very much look forward to working with you!

Hello and welcome to BetterHelp! I am a Licensed Master's Level graduate of Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM). I have worked with individuals (adolescents and adults), couples, and families in several different non-clinical and clinical settings including residential and intensive outpatient in both non-profit and private facilities. My specialties include treating individuals with communication issues, intimacy-related issues, depression, stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, ADD/ADHD, family conflict, relationship issues, death of a loved one, substance use/abuse. As your therapist, we go through your journey together to decrease and/or eliminate distress of your mind and within your relationships through "talk therapy". My approach to your treatment depends on your goals for therapy and the issue(s) that you present. At times, we delve in your family background and how you were raised as a child and into your past relationships as I have found that what's going on presently is a direct result of unresolved issues from the past. At other times, there is just a need to find a solution and/or come to a resolution of an issue. I utilize a few treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT). I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your goals!

I am a licensed psychologist with over 15 years of experience working with the cancer community, grief and loss, as well as providing empowerment and support to those looking to make intentional progress towards life / career goals. As a cancer survivor myself, adjusting to a diagnosis and treatment can be difficult. Not only are their physical side effects, but often emotional and relational effects as well. Additionally, grief and/or loss is difficult. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, as grief is unique to each individual. All too often do many suffer in silence. If you are looking for support to help navigate the waters, I can help. I also enjoy assisting individuals with setting intentions and making forward steps to meeting their goals. If you are looking for a change, but are not sure where to start, I can also help you organize your efforts, provide resources, relieve stress, ease tension and afford a safe space to problem solve through education, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivation and humor. My clients receive education and training in mindfulness skills, relaxation practices, decision-making, mood management, and interpersonal effectiveness. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

Your Authentic Self, Your Strongest Self: Therapy Tailored in a Safe, Supportive Space Hello! I'm Dr. Andrew Mendonsa, a clinical psychologist and therapist with 20+ years of experience helping folks like you navigate life's complexities and embrace their true potential and authentic self. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, those struggling with problematic sexual behavior, kink/alt lifestyle/polyamory-focused issues, and anyone seeking a male therapist's perspective. My journey through the worlds of mental health and addiction – from community mental health and marginalized groups, to the criminal justice system, to high wealth clients and corporate boardrooms – has equipped me with a deep understanding of the challenges clients, especially men and those from specialized populations, face today. I've helped countless individuals overcome shame, guilt, depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and the unique pressures of modern life. As an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I offer a safe and judgment-free space to explore your identity, gender, relationships, sexual expression, and sexuality. Whether you're questioning, coming out, or navigating the unique stressors of the LGBTQIA+, kink, alt-pop, or straight communities, I'm here to support you on your journey! For those grappling with problematic sexual behavior that is causing issues with your work, relationships, finance, or other areas, I provide a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to recovery. I will not tell you to stop what you are doing or else, instead we will identify what is motivating your behavior and desire to change. Knowing these, we can then develop a tailored treatment plan and achievable goals. Together, we'll address the underlying issues, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and rebuild a fulfilling life free from shame, guilt, and compulsive behaviors. My extensive background working with high-achieving individuals in business and academia makes me uniquely equipped to understand the pressures of professional life. If you're struggling with work-related stress, burnout, or career transitions, I can offer practical strategies for success and well-being. I have owned, sold, and managed companies and worked in high levels within the public sector. My approach to therapy is collaborative, goal-oriented, and results-driven. I believe therapy should be a catalyst for change, not a lifelong commitment. Think of it like a tune-up for your mind – we'll get you back on track and running smoothly. You wouldn't leave your car in the shop forever, would you? So why force yourself into a lifetime of therapy? I invite you to visit my website, www.AndrewMendonsa.com, to learn more about me and my approach. Let's work together to build a life that is authentic, fulfilling, and true to you.
