Michael Klinkner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Making changes can be very difficult. I believe that therapy is about finding the inner strengths inside of yourself that can allow you to become the person you want to be. Whether you are healing from wounds from your past or looking to write a new future, change is possible. No two people go through this process in the same way, everyone's journey is very unique.
I have been working with children, teens and adults with a variety of issues for over 20 years. I have in depth experience with anxiety, trauma and depression along with the ways that those issues can affect the members of their family. I have worked in residential treatment, behavioral health hospitals and outpatient settings.
In the beginning, starting to change can seem overwhelming and maybe even impossible. I use approaches that embrace the idea that everyone is different and everyone can just with the right approach to the problem.

Dr. Leigh Anne Randa
Psychologist, PhD
A human being, by nature, is full of contradictions. I believe a strong therapeutic alliance is essential to the therapy process. The experience of "feeling" seen, or felt, or heard, is the beginning of healing. Knowing that while you are unique, you are not alone. My belief is that strong therapy starts with the therapeutic relationship.

Jeni Gutke
Licensed Professional Counselor, MC, LPC
Everyone needs a place for advocacy and validation of feelings to be able to untangle and articulate those things which are not working in our lives. In addition to advocacy, you will also receive a safe space to unburden and have support and encouragement to not only illuminate your gifts and talents, but also to help differentiate emotions which are no longer serving you and empower goals for future Fulfillment. That starts with self compassion and being in the present and allowing space to leave each session feeling lighter with coping skills that can reduce heightened emotions and help direct back to self energy. With a background in teaching both elementary and high school and working in nonprofit organizations , seeing the need we all have for advocacy and compassion has greatly influenced my belief in the human spirit and our ability to heal. Why not live the life we have imagined and make it the best it can be?

Brie Chandler
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
You may be feeling lost, anxious, and don't know why everything that used to work to feel better isn't now. Maybe it feels like your relationships are suffering, like you've never even had a healthy one, or could never share your desires with your partner or partners. Every little thing added to your plate feels so overwhelming and it might be easier just to shut down or hide parts of yourself. You might worry you're "too much" or feel like you can't do anything right. You tell yourself "no one could ever understand or accept me," or "everyone has childhood stuff, I'm fine," ...right? One thing you’re sure of is you want to feel better, safe, and like you have direction. You’re ready to have quality relationships and leave behind old patterns. Most of all, you’re ready to feel good enough and embrace all parts of your identity.

Colin Pickles
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in the treatment of relationship concerns, communication issues, anxiety, and depression, and the LGBTQ+ community. My goal is not just to help you feel better, but to better understand how your history and internal narratives guide your feelings and behavior. In doing so, we can find ways to adjust these narratives and can wind down sessions with applied idea to practice so that you leave with a sense of direction and confidence.

Cecelia Kowalski
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW - 22624
This is not just a business to me — this is a place to truly help and support those who have felt dismissed, uneasy, or alone. I strive to help you reach the life you want to live.
You've probably spent so long making sure everyone around you is okay — anticipating needs, smoothing things over, keeping the peace — that it's easy to forget you deserve that same care too. If anxiety and people-pleasing feel like second nature, it's not because something's wrong with you. It's because somewhere along the way, staying small and agreeable felt safer than being fully yourself. We're here to help you gently unlearn that, at your own pace, in a space where you don't have to perform or hold it all together. You're allowed to take up room here.

Chandler is one of Phoenix's most economically dynamic suburbs — home to Intel's major chip manufacturing campus and a growing semiconductor and technology sector — creating demand for therapists experienced with high-performance careers, workplace stress, and the psychological pressures of the tech industry. The city has a significant South Asian and East Asian professional population alongside a large and long-established Hispanic community, generating broad demand for culturally affirming therapy across very different backgrounds. Chandler Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources, with a private therapy community serving downtown Chandler and the Price Road tech corridor. Chandler's suburban character and intense summer heat contribute to social isolation concerns that therapists frequently address.
