Therapists in Taylor, AZ

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with 14 years of experience working as a Therapist and Supervisor for a non-profit community behavioral health agency. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, self- esteem, career challenges and addiction. My counseling style is warm and attentive. I am very easy going and I treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I do not believe in one size fits all treatment, so I will work hard to adjust treatment to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I know how scary change can be, especially without support and motivation along the way. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

I am a licensed professional counselor and board certified art therapist with many years practicing in different types of community, residential and out-patient settings. I am comfortable using different modalities and therapies to meet individual needs. This include but are not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Trauma Focused Therapy and Solution-Based Therapy. I worked with people experiencing addiction providing recovery skills. I am a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor and have been since 2007. (Issued in AZ since 2021). I have worked with clients who have had difficult histories, experiencing moderate to severe symptoms associated with Panic Attacks, Anxiety, Mood disorders, OCD, ADHD, Psychosis and PTSD. Over the years I have treated people who are or had experienced intimate partner violence, codependence, eating disorders and chronic pain. I would like develop a space that is safe yet lively enough to support and encourage self-exploration. An opportunity to process current or past experiences as needed. I hope to share skills and strategies that may help reduce symptoms, stress and increase feelings of strength and wellness.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana and Arizona with over 15 years of experience working with adults in a variety of settings. I believe counseling should result in solutions that can be used again if the need arises. I approach counseling from a combination of person-centered, cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused therapies to provide strategies that promote better functioning in your everyday life. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) which has been used to help people heal from symptoms associated with PTSD, depression, grief and anxiety. I believe everyone should be treated with respect and not feel judged. I do my best to provide a safe and open atmosphere where you can feel comfortable to be yourself. I look forward to meeting and working with you!

I received my Bachelor of Science and a Masters Degree in Counseling from Wichita State University in Kansas. I am a national certified counselor as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked in a wide variety of settings, from a day program for the severe and chronic mentally ill, academic advisor, and welfare officer I relocated to the Phoenix area and began work as an outreach counselor and Special Education Counselor serving the Reservation and the surrounding towns in Pinal County. In this capacity I worked with children, parents, and schools on a variety of issues; from relationship/communication, parenting, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and anger management. I have also dealt with addiction and marriage problems. Each job gave me a wealth of experiences. I have completed a wide array of trainings such as Levels I and II in Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing (EMDR); training addressing Gambling Addiction, Rational Emotive Therapy, Reality, Sand Tray therapy, several different Play Therapy modalities, and have a credential in Distance Counseling. I am married and have three wonderful boys, an extended family that I keep close even though all are very far away. I have come to realize that success doesn’t come by the work of one, but the support of many to help achieve our desires and to deal with the struggles of everyday living. My goal is to help you when you need it most, to teach you how to grapple with life's little ordinary problems, to make life worth living. Too many people in the world are hurting on the inside and trying to "go it alone" and are either afraid or don’t know how to ask for help. I can offer an un-biased ear, a sounding board and support to help you reach your goals or get past a roadblock in life. Don’t be afraid to take that first step. I have over 19 years of experience with a wide variety of issues, including relationship, Parenting, Anxiety, Gambling, Substance Abuse and Depression. If you feel I may be a good match for your therapy needs, I am available.

Leah Little, LMSW, CAADC is a fully licensed clinical social worker in the states of Michigan and Illinois, and a certified advanced alcohol and drug counselor. She obtained her MSW from the University of Michigan, with a concentration in mental health and interpersonal practice. Her graduate training was conducted at Michigan Medicine, in the Psychiatric Emergency Services. During this internship, she obtained extensive training in various evidence-based treatments, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Later in her career, while in government service with the U.S. Veteran’s Health Administration, Leah was trained in Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET). Leah has over a decade of work experience providing individual, family, and group therapy to adolescents and adults in community non-profit, hospital, and private practice settings. Her areas of treatment focus include life transitions, grief/loss, relationship or family issues, general stress, depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, or coping with past trauma. Leah strives to create a safe, welcoming atmosphere where you can openly share thoughts and feelings, talk about your dreams and goals, be unashamed to cry, and maybe even laugh a little.

With 19 years of experience, my areas of interest include depression, anxiety, self-image, healing from trauma and abuse, divorce recovery, overcoming shame, life transitional issues, matters of loneliness, and empowering others to pursue their dreams and career aspirations. I earned my B.A. in Political Science at Montclair State University in New Jersey in 1994 and gained my Masters in Counseling at Denver Seminary in 2002. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado (#4201) and Arizona (#22661). My counseling approach usually incorporates cognitive-behavioral techniques, Rogerian theories ("person-centered" counseling), and family systems methods. I am passionate about helping my clients feel understood in their time of suffering — with their feelings validated, their life story honored, and their weaknesses, mistakes, failures, longings, etc., accepted without a hint of judgment. While I think I have much to offer my clients, I am not a "know it all" therapist. I want to learn from those who have turned their pain and suffering into something beautiful. As a resident of Westcliffe, Colorado and Green Valley, Arizona, I enjoy hiking, cycling, and exploring the beautiful landscapes of the American West. I have biked across the USA three times, the latest trip in 2017, and have authored a memoir about my first trip, titled "Under a Triumphant Sky: A Bike Across America Story." I regularly make public presentations about my travel experiences and encourage others to live boldly and to pursue their dreams.
