Grace Judd
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LAMFT
If you’ve found your way here, odds are something in your world might feel tangled, heavy, or out of alignment. You may love each other deeply and still feel stuck in painful patterns you can’t seem to escape. Maybe conversations escalate quickly, one of you shuts down while the other pursues, resentment keeps building, or trust has been damaged by repeated hurt, betrayal, or emotional disconnection. Over time, couples often begin feeling more like roommates, opponents, or strangers than partners.
Whatever brought you here, you’re not alone and you’re in the right place to begin healing. In couples counseling, you’ll find a space where your nervous system can exhale—where we can slow down, untangle patterns, heal emotional injuries, and strengthen the threads that create secure, meaningful relationships.
I specialize in helping couples slow down these negative cycles, rebuild emotional safety, strengthen communication, and reconnect beneath the conflict. My relationship counseling approach is attachment-based, trauma-informed, and grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Family Systems, and Gottman Method, helping partners move from blame and defensiveness toward understanding, responsiveness, and deeper connection.
Whether you’re navigating chronic conflict, intimacy issues, infidelity recovery, parenting stress, premarital concerns, or the impact of trauma on your relationship, couples therapy can become a space where both partners feel heard, understood, and supported.
I primarily work with couples and adults navigating relationship distress, attachment wounds, trauma, and emotional disconnection.
I currently have availability for in-person and online sessions and would love to connect. Together, we’ll work toward creating a relationship that feels safer, more connected, and more resilient.

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.

Isabel Jaurequi-Maestas
Counselor/Therapist, LAC
I am here to remind you: you are not broken. While trauma and adversity may have shaped parts of your past, they do not dictate your identity or your future. I know the immense strength it takes to seek help, and I would be deeply honored to walk beside you as you process painful experiences and rediscover the parts of yourself that feel lost or overwhelmed. Therapy is not about "fixing" you; it is about reclaiming your voice, your resilience, and your sense of self. You are strong, worthy, and you do not have to walk this path alone.

Gilbert is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States and one of the most family-oriented suburbs in the Phoenix metro, with a significant LDS (Latter-day Saint) community that shapes the social fabric and therapy culture — many residents seek therapists who can integrate faith values with evidence-based approaches to marriage, parenting, and anxiety. The city's rapid growth and suburban character mean social isolation and the challenge of building community in a sprawling new development are recurring therapy themes. Dignity Health Mercy Gilbert Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources, and many Gilbert residents access care through the broader Phoenix metro therapy ecosystem. The city's younger family demographic drives consistent demand for child and adolescent therapists and couples counselors.
