Ways in
Start wherever you actually are.
You don't need the right words or a tidy explanation. Pick the door that sounds closest and we'll sort out the rest together.
Couples & family
For the conversations that keep looping back to the same place. We slow them down, make room for both sides, and work on how you talk when it's hard.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy
An eye-movement therapy that resolves trauma, phobias and PTSD in a handful of sessions — without you having to narrate what happened.
What we help with
Nothing here is too small to bring in.
People come to us in crisis and people come to us because something has just felt slightly off for a while. Both are good reasons.

How we practice
Four things we hold ourselves to.
Our mission is to promote the health and wellness of individuals and couples through a range of treatment approaches — and to keep this a genuinely safe place to land.
Empathy
Your history is yours. We meet you where you're at, at the pace you set, without judgement about how you got here.
Authenticity
Open, honest and ethical — including when the honest answer is that we're not the right fit and someone else would serve you better.
Creativity
No two people get the same worksheet. We draw on CBT, DBT, EMDR, ACT, mindfulness and play therapy, and adapt as we learn you.
Kindness
Healing rarely runs in a straight line. Self-compassion isn't a soft extra here — it's part of the actual work.
Our team
The people you'd actually be sitting with.
A small practice on purpose. You'll know who you're seeing before you walk in.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy
You don't have to tell the story to be free of it.
ART uses gentle back-and-forth eye movements to help your brain resolve what it's still holding — depression, anxiety, phobias, PTSD. You stay in control the entire session, and most people are done in one to five visits.
- No need to describe the details of what happened.
- No homework between sessions.
- You direct the pace and can stop at any point.

Self-pay only. Insurance carriers don't currently cover ART, so we keep the pricing plain and the course short.

Before you call
The questions people ask first.
I've never done therapy before. What actually happens?
The first appointment is 60 minutes and it's mostly you talking and us listening. There's no test and nothing you have to prepare. By the end we'll have a rough sense of what you want to be different, and you decide whether to book a second one.
Do you take my insurance?
We're in network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Compsych, Evernorth, Health Advocate, Lyra, Open Path, Optum and UnitedHealthcare. If yours isn't listed, call us — we'll check your out-of-network benefits with you and can provide a superbill.
Can I meet online instead of coming in?
Yes. Sessions are available by secure video for anyone located in Arizona, and you can mix in-person and online visits as your schedule needs.
How young a client will you see?
We work with clients aged 10 and up, as well as couples and families.
How soon can I be seen?
Request an appointment online or call (480) 680-1240. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, and additional appointment times outside those hours can be arranged.
What if I need to cancel?
Give us 24 hours and there's no charge. Cancellations inside 24 hours and missed appointments are billed at $50.
Take the first one
Breathe in. Then send the message.
Booking takes about two minutes and doesn't commit you to anything. If you'd rather talk to a person first, call — that's completely fine too.
