Therapists in Prescott, AZ
Starting therapy is one of the most effective steps you can take toward addressing mental health concerns and initiating positive change. Therapists are highly qualified professionals who receive substantial education and training before being allowed to practice independently. The vast majority possess a graduate degree, either a master’s degree or a doctorate. For mental health professionals who choose to specialize, it may take over ten years for them to achieve their final licensure.
Clinical mental health counseling providers are qualified to address a broad range of concerns about a person’s mental and emotional well-being. They can help address past experiences that may be affecting your current mental state, such as childhood trauma. They can also help you identify therapy goals that align with your overall healing process, such as increasing self-acceptance to help bolster your confidence.
If you're ready to find a therapist, Prescott, AZ, has plenty of options from which to choose. The Prescott Valley area has many clinics and groups ready to provide services, such as Mariposa Counseling, a local counseling group within Yavapai County. You might also want to consider online therapy as you begin your search for a professional. Online therapy utilizes the same highly qualified therapists that you would see in person, but sessions take place online over a phone or computer. Online therapists often see clients online and in person and may work in independent practice or be employed in a number of other clinical settings. The therapists below are all highly trained and qualified mental health providers and may be worth examining as you search for the right therapist for you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Behavioral Health and over ten years of mental health experience. I am also a former active-duty military officer. My education includes a B.S. in psychology, a Master's in Health Service Administration, a Master's in Social Work, and a Master's in Legal Studies. I also have a doctorate in behavioral health (clinical) and five years of integrated care study. I use a holistic approach and solution-focused approach when providing therapy to my clients, which involves assessing if a client has co-morbid issues such as diabetes and depression or chronic pain and anxiety. I believe it is vital to assist clients with health management while addressing mental health issues. I am caring and compassionate and recognize that there is still a stigma associated with seeking mental health treatment. As a result, I appreciate anyone who takes time to care for their state of mind, as it is just as important as maintaining physical health. Additional treatment modalities I use include mindfulness practice, dialectal behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. In addition to providing services to the civilian population, I have experience working with the military community, active duty, reserve, National Guard, and veterans. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and personality disorders, i.e., borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorders, trauma, sexual abuse, self-esteem issues, and PTSD. I am a military Victim Advocate who completed Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), which provides me with additional skills to assist those who are survivors/victims of sexual assault and to intervene appropriately and prevent the risk of suicidal thoughts and suicidal behaviors. I also have experience working with clients dealing with substance abuse issues, adjustment problems, grief and loss, and work-related stressors.

I welcome you and commend you for seeking help as I know it can be challenging to do so. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan, having graduated from Western Michigan University with a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have 6 years experience as a therapist. I am also a husband and a father of 3. I have a love for the outdoors and learning new things. I am also an avid fan of hard rock music. I would describe therapy as an organic process, much like a relationship. As with any relationship it takes time to develop and requires honesty and vulnerability on behalf of both parties in order to grow. It can be hard to take that first step and ask for help. My focus is to meet you where you are in your journey and support you as you face life's challenges. I am here to work with you to aid in greater self awareness, utilize strengths to solve problems and discover hope. The process of change can be both challenging and rewarding. I am excited to have the privilege to join you on your path and help you discover the next steps.
