XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
A sacred space to heal the parts of you that words alone may not fully reach. Many people carry stress, trauma, and emotional pain not only in the mind, but within the nervous system and body itself. These experiences can quietly shape relationships, self-worth, emotional reactions, and the ability to feel safe, connected, or fully present in life. I offer compassionate, trauma-informed support for individuals and couples (including LGBTQIA+ and polyamorous partners) seeking deeper healing and meaningful change.
As a somatic therapist, I integrate body-based therapy, mindfulness, and counseling into a holistic healing approach that serves your nervous system to help you process and reconnect your mind, body, and spirit. You will feel more grounded and empowered.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. Our work together will move at a pace that feels supportive, collaborative, and safe while honoring both your lived experience and your body’s natural wisdom for healing.

Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
Medication management sessions are combined with brief, supportive therapy to address both symptom relief and underlying challenges. During appointments, we review how medications are working, monitor for side effects, and make adjustments when needed. Time is also spent discussing current stressors, developing coping strategies, and supporting emotional wellbeing. This integrated approach helps ensure that treatment addresses both the biological and psychological aspects of mental health while supporting meaningful and lasting improvement.

26 Years Experience
Online in Scottsdale, AZ
Scottsdale's affluence and wellness-oriented culture generate consistently high demand for therapy, with a population that generally views mental health care favorably and has the financial means to engage in longer-term work — making it one of the most therapist-dense cities in Arizona. The city's luxury resort industry and reputation as a destination for high-net-worth retirees and second-home owners create a distinctive therapy clientele, with practitioners frequently addressing relationship complexity, identity in retirement, wealth-related stress, and the gap between external success and internal wellbeing. HonorHealth and Mayo Clinic Phoenix provide institutional mental health resources alongside one of Arizona's most established private practice communities. Scottsdale's significant recovery community — drawn by the concentration of high-end treatment centers in the surrounding Sonoran Desert — also drives substantial demand for therapists specializing in addiction aftercare and dual diagnosis work.
