Does this sound familiar? You want to feel peaceful and content, but instead you are feeling: overwhelmed by stress, totally burned out, or even debilitated by anxiety. It’s been hard for you to manage the emotional toll of constant and often unrealistic demands. You can rarely find a moment to stop and catch your breath. Each day feels like you are being stretched a bit thinner and you wonder how much you have left to give. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus and I help ambitious women find relief from stress, burnout, anxiety, and deep emotional pain. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

Amy Look
Psychologist, PhD, LP
You are thoughtful, capable, and successful in many areas of your life but inside, you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and unsure how to move forward. You overthink, hold yourself to impossible standards, and take care of everyone else while your own needs fall to the side. It's exhausting and leads to emotional burnout, but it doesn't need to be this way. Our work together will focus on evidence-based strategies to calm your mind, manage stress, increase confidence, improve relationships, and start living a life that’s aligned with your values. To learn more about what it would be like to work together, reach out by calling or sending me a message.

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.

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.
