Therapists in Phoenix, AZ
With such a robust population, finding a therapist in Phoenix, AZ may seem simple enough, but mental health services aren’t always as simple as they seem. Finding the right therapist may take reaching outside of your geographical area. When it comes to therapy for any challenge from mood disorders and anxiety disorders to addictive behaviors or traumatic experiences like domestic violence, therapeutic alliance is key.
In any therapeutic approach, therapy is far more likely to be successful if there is a strong level of trust between therapist and client. Motivational interviewing and evidence-based interventions can only go so far if you don’t feel like your therapist truly understands you. That’s why an online therapy platform like BetterHelp can help. With over 30,000 licensed mental health professionals, BetterHelp has a wide variety of therapists to match your needs, and allows you to switch therapists at no extra cost until you find the one that you work best with.
Therapy cost can also be a challenge for some. BetterHelp is not covered by insurance, but the cost of online therapy can be significantly lower than that of many individual practices. When in Phoenix, find therapists easily by filling out a simple online questionnaire to be matched with a therapist that meets your needs. Most people are matched within 48 hours, and if you need to switch therapists for any reason you can do so for no extra cost until you find your perfect therapist.
Whether you’re looking for treatment of a specific mental health condition, interested in self-improvement, or seeking guidance for achieving life goals, therapy can help get you where you want to go. And online therapy can help you to fit your sessions around your busy schedule and allow you to work with your therapist from the convenience and comfort of your own home.

“You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” -A.A. Mine Thanks for clicking on my page! Often in the hectic pace of everyday life we may not feel there is time to address things we are currently facing. Counseling is an excellent way to designate a time, with the assistance of an unbiased professional, to assist you in reaching your goals. The goal of therapy is to feel good, not only about yourself, but the life you are living. Life can get complicated, so having someone in your corner can be helpful. Therapy also allows one to view things through a different lens. This new perspective can get us to make changes, or view things differently, which can be key to making long-term changes or impact. I view counseling is a collaborative, dynamic process, based on the therapeutic alliance between therapist and client. Through careful assessment of client concerns, I tailor the therapeutic approach to the specific needs of each individual. My approach to counseling is both direct yet warm and non judgmental with every client. I am gentle in my approach to make sure the client feels heard and validated. I employ a variety of diverse therapeutic approaches. These techniques include Person-Centered, CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, DBT, MI. My personal philosophy is based on the idea that counseling is most effective with genuine, honest, and open communication. I believe we are all worthy of respect and that is important in the counseling relationship. I hope to dive deeper into what is going on in your life, and get you back on track. Hopefully you will leave each session feeling better and with some new tools and workable takeaways. I am excited to be with Betterhelp to begin working with those in need of healing. When I am not in session, I like to fill free time with family & friends. I love exploring the outdoors, staying active (with spin, weightlifting & yoga) and traveling. I have a passion for volunteering with at risk populations in my city and am an avid animal rescuer/advocate. You have made a big first step in your journey, I look forward to hearing from you! Feel free to contact me below to set up your first session, take care!
