Coolidge is a small, quiet community but it has been home to some big names, such as Waylon Jennings, the famous country western singer and songwriter. Waylon Jennings wrote his songs from a place of experience and his own life, and it is easy to be empathetic with his lyrics. Life is not always a song, and sometimes it may seem as though music alone is not enough to bolster the spirit.
If you have fallen on hard times and can find no solace, Coolidge-area counselors can help. They can help you examine your life and goals and work toward a lasting happiness. If you are struggling, contact a therapist today.

The focus of my work is to help people live life based on their values. I use a gentle, honest approach to help my clients to identify their struggles and take steps to move toward the life they want. I help my clients to improve their emotion regulation and communication skills, while empowering them to move in a valued direction. It is my philosophy that although we my not have caused our struggles we are responsible to learn and grow from them.

The current focus of my practice is those in transitions in life ( including athletes transitioning to life after athletics), people with personality struggles and those who struggle with anxiety.

Stress! It comes in so many forms: anxiety, depression, grief, relationship conflict, life changes that feel overwhelming, unwelcomed surprises and overwhelm, worrying about being worried, more depressed thinking you can't break free. It can be exhausting. It's hard to feel stuck and it's harder still when you don't know how to get unstuck or don't have the kind of support that helps you feel better. Of course you don't want to stay stuck in that, right? And of course you want to feel better, and you can. You can relieve that stress, feel more motivated, hopeful, confident, capable, and resilient. There's lots of methods, strategies, and tools that can help you feel better, that are doable, that empower your outlook and your choices. Those ways could include methods such as CBT, Problem Solving, Acceptance Theory, Heart Math, The Work, Mindfulness, Spirituality and connecting you to resources to enhance our work together. Together, we create a safe space so you can get to know me, and I get to hear what you need. We identify what’s not working for you and get to the root cause of it to find what can and will work for you. I’m most interested in you finding a clear pathway to sustainable change that feels right for you, if you're interested in walking that path. I will support you to move from stuck to “I got this”, especially when it gets hard. It's my honor and pleasure, as a therapist and life coach, to support you along the way.

I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. As we’ve all learned, life is complicated. It’s uncertain, undefined, and often-times feels uncontrollable. But it’s also “the only game in town”. So learning how to navigate it effectively makes all the difference to how we experience it. The good news is that we CAN learn those skills – no matter how old you are or how much damage life has already done. Shifting the focus from believing that life holds all the power to realizing that the true power is how you choose to respond to it. Healing is a process that has relapse and self-doubt.

Even the most complicated grief or complex trauma can be healed! You just have to take that first step.

- Counseling with therapists: $100-300

You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Coolidge therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.
Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?
Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Coolidge licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Coolidge counselor can be dependent on your process.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice.

Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information.
