Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Life in recent times has required all of us to make adjustments and transition some parts of our lives to the virtual space. It makes sense that healthcare services accommodate the needs of people in this way to offer the opportunity for support from afar. As a result, a significant part of my practice over the past few years has been in the service of providing tele-therapy for those who reside within the states governed by PSYPACT. For more information about my availability, please feel free to contact me.

Cordell Pearson
Counselor/Therapist, CMHC, LPC, NCC
I offer online therapy for individuals across Utah who feel weighed down by old wounds, persistent anxiety, or emotions that feel difficult to hold alone. In our work together, you’ll find a steady, compassionate space where your internal world can be understood rather than judged. Using approaches like EMDR, DBR, and parts-oriented therapy, I help you gently reconnect with the pieces of yourself that are asking for attention, clarity, and relief. Healing becomes possible when you no longer have to navigate it in isolation—and when your story is met with curiosity, respect, and genuine care.

Dr. Olivia Blandford
Psychologist, Ph.D.
The COVID crisis struck near the end of my formal training, which afforded me the opportunity to extensively train in the delivery of quality therapy using virtual technologies. I am proud to have built a practice from the ground up in which I am equally comfortable and effective in person and on video, and I have worked with clients from every corner of the country. Whether you are down the street or hundreds of miles away, trust that you will feel the same warmth, connection, and attention from me over video as you would face-to-face. I use HIPAA-compliant software that prioritizes privacy and convenience, and I dedicate part of my annual continuing education to telehealth-specific skills to ensure I am always giving you my best.

Dr. Madelyn Satz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life is challenging. All of us will deal with difficulty at some point in our lives, and many of us will face repeated struggles. We have a hand in some of these troubles and others we have no control over. But we always have control over how we interpret events, how we relate to them, how we make sense of them, and what we do as a result. There is validity in whatever way we view our situation, but as a starting place, not the only place, and we can move through and beyond into a clearing of many more and better possibilities.
I have many tools and techniques and strategies to shift perspective from deeply painful to healing and expansion. Despite how vulnerable we are in life, there is also a great deal of thriving that is available to us - when we know how to harness it.

Mesa is one of the largest suburbs in the United States and part of the greater Phoenix metro, with a significant LDS (Latter-day Saint) community that shapes the social fabric and the therapy landscape — many residents seek therapists who can integrate faith values with evidence-based approaches to anxiety, relationship issues, and family dynamics. The city's car-dependent suburban sprawl and intense summer heat contribute to social isolation, and therapists here frequently address loneliness and the challenges of building genuine community in a dispersed environment. Banner Desert Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources, and many Mesa residents also access care through the broader Phoenix-metro therapy ecosystem. The city's large Latino and Mormon populations both drive demand for culturally specific therapeutic approaches.
